Madeleine detectives hunt 'Victoria Beckham lookalike'
PRIVATE detectives hired by Madeleine McCann's parents want to trace a "Victoria Beckham lookalike" with an Australian or New Zealand accent, it was reported today.
She was seen by two British men in Barcelona in Spain three days after the little girl went missing from Praia da Luz in Portugal.
The woman said something to one of the men which has convinced the McCanns' investigators that she might have information about Madeleine, the Australian newspaper reported.
Full details about the woman will be released later today along with an appeal for information about her.
Former detective inspector Dave Edgar was to appear alongside McCann family spokesman Clarence Mitchell at a press conference in London today.
Madeleine's parents, Kate and Gerry McCann, from Leicestershire, were not to attend the news conference.
Mr Edgar and a second retired detective, Arthur Cowley, were hired by the McCanns in July last year.
