A five-year-old Spanish girl has disappeared from her home - around 100 miles from the resort where Madeleine McCann vanished.
The girl's parents believe she has been kidnapped, after reports she was seen with a gypsy woman.There were similar reports when British girl Madeleine disappeared last May.
Mari Luz Cortes was last seen at a sweet stall 100 yards from her home in Huelva on Sunday.
Yesterday, a woman reported to police that she had seen a girl fitting Mari Luz's description on a bus with a gypsy woman who kept shouting at her to stop crying.
Huelva is only 25 miles from the frontier, and 120 miles from Praia da Luz in the Algarve, where four-year-old Madeleine was holidaying with her parents when she vanished.
A massive search by police has failed to find any trace little Mari, and her parents believe she has been snatched.
