A mystery phone call from a man claiming to know the whereabouts of missing Madeleine McCann was "nothing of interest".Originally posted by oxtailsoup
The McCanns in AmsterdamThis is the latest setback for the McCanns as they continue their hunt for Madeleine.
The caller provided such detail that Kate and Gerry McCann delayed their trip to Amsterdam.
The couple were informed of the potential development while in Germany, where they were appealing for information about their four-year-old child.
A Spanish police source said: "This did not appear to be a crank call and the information was felt credible enough to warrant the couple being informed immediately."
It is 35 days since Madeleine was abducted from her bed in the Algarve resort of Praia da Luz.
The "credible" call was taken from a man who wanted to speak directly to the McCanns, according to a Spanish police source.
It was traced to an unregistered pay-as-you-go phone from an unidentified country but not thought to be Morocco, where a previous possible sighting of Madeleine was reported.
The caller did not reveal his identity or nationality, but the information was considered important enough to alert Mr and Mrs McCann, the source said.
At around 3pm yesterday, the couple - who were about to go to Tempelhof airport in Berlin to fly on to the Netherlands - were advised that the caller might try to contact them, so they stayed on at the British embassy.
At 6pm, journalists travelling in the eight-seater private jet with the McCanns were told by the flight crew that there might be a change in destination.
They revealed they had been asked to draw up a new flight plan involving a possible change from Amsterdam to East Midlands Airport.
It was thought the McCanns might need to go back to the UK to talk to advisers about the call.
But all efforts to re-establish contact with the man failed and the couple decided to go on to Amsterdam.
A British police source said: "The importance of this line of inquiry is still being assessed and attempts to re-establish contact are continuing."
Mr and Mrs McCann are thought to be on standby, ready to return to the UK if necessary.Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave JohnsonComment

I seem to recall them getting involved in a numner of kidnapping cases as well as representing those who end up in foreign jails whether it's their fault or not.Originally posted by PRC1964
I would still think that the UK embassy do a hell of a lot more for UK citizens than other embassies do, and even if all they do is help you make contact with someone in the uk thats better than trying to tell somebody who doesn't speal English you want to make a free phone call....Cenedl heb iaith, cenedl heb galon
