Updated: 18:27, Friday June 01, 2007 A mystery sample of DNA has been found in the bedroom where Madeleine McCann was abducted, according to reports. Portuguese newspaper 24 Horas claimed the DNA does not match that of Mr and Mrs McCann or their three children. Neither does the DNA match that of the only named suspect in the case, property developer Robert Murat, the paper said. It was reported that The Portuguese police, Policia Judiciara (PJ), have handed the sample to the national forensic laboratories, the Instituto Nacional de Medicina Legal. The newspaper quoted a source from the laboratory who said: "There is a new suspect, there is DNA which does not correspond to the family. "It is an important step in the investigation but the truth is that the DNA collected does not have a name. "In other words we cannot make any connection between the material collected and the suspects which we already have." The newspaper said the DNA would be compared to all the evidence gathered by the PJ to see if a match could be found. But, the source continued: "This does not mean that Robert Murat could not be incriminated but there is a person who was in the room who as yet it is not possible to identify. "There are a lot of things already concluded but there are a lot of things still to do." It is now 29 days since the four-year-old girl was taken from her bed in the Portuguese coastal resort of Praia da Luz. Today, her parents spoke of their hopes and fears about what has happened to their daughter during a series of interviews in Madrid. Mr McCann said: "We pray that she is being looked after and it is someone who wanted a little girl for their own who would look after her very well. "We also pray that the person who has her gives her up voluntarily and drops her at a church or a safe place."

'Psychics? Try Proper Detective Work'
Updated: 13:19, Friday June 01, 2007 A British crime expert says police in Portugal should use proper detective work to find Madeleine McCann - not information from psychics. Officers hunting for the missing four-year-old are wading through piles of information sent by mediums and following up leads. Chief Inspector Olegario Sousa even believes the abductor may make contact posing as a psychic. He said: "We can't put the messages in the bin, we must check them all." But Mark Williams-Thomas, a former detective, told Sky News Online: "Are they hoping that spinning a bottle or a crystal ball will help? It's mad really. "When you start believing in psychics you're saying that you've exhausted all your leads of proper, investigative detective work. "Presumably they are checking out those which carry names and contact detail. But if they think the kidnapper may contact them posing as a psychic then that's incredible. "What leads them to suggest that? It's a very strange conclusion. "Why would the abductor give information through a psychic, or by pretending to be one? If they are wracked with guilt, why not just phone the police with the details or drop her off somewhere? "Also, would the abductor really get in touch and leave contact details? We should be relying on good old fashioned detective work. "However, it's possible a third party - such as a relative of the abductor - could pretend to be a psychic as a way of passing on bits of information they have." Mr Williams-Thomas - who flew to Portugal soon after Madeleine disappeared - says he has also been inundated with emails about, or from, psychics regarding the case. But he questioned how their credentials could be verified and said officers would have to wade through information from hundreds of people with little hope of success. "They are not used very often in the UK. They're sometimes listened to but are not really a line of inquiry a senior officer would take," he said. "I did a case where we did have involvement with a psychic. At first the information they have can seem incredible, it makes the hairs on the back of your neck stand up. "But it's never led to finding someone - it didn't in this case, anyway." Mr Williams-Thomas stressed that the search for Madeleine is still in the early days and there was still hope. "They're still waiting for forensics and will be cross-referencing witness statements - through grounded policing there can be a positive result."
