Michael Schneider, a self-proclaimed "clairvoyant" from Siegburg, Germany, travels to Albufeira in Portugal, in mid-December 2013, to search for the body of Madeleine McCann. He says: "I got the inspiration that she is dead and that she is located in the Algarve."

Photo Erhard Paul   SIEGBURG - Outside it's drizzling. Michael Schneider (43) sits at his father's old desk, in front of an open map of Portugal. Slowly the man from Siegburg runs a finger over the sheet until it stops, as if by itself, at Albufeira. The town, situated on the Atlantic coast, is 2432 km away. But Michael Schneider is a clairvoyant, and claims: "A few miles west of this town is where Maddie's corpse is buried!" The fate of little Madeleine "Maddie" McCann (3), who disappeared during a family holiday in Portugal's Algarve, on 3 May 2007, moves the entire world. Despite the police searches, thousands of clues, hired private investigators and the publication of phantom images of possible abductors, to date any trace of the British girl is still lacking, despite each lead. At his home in Siegburg, Schneider is already sitting on packed suitcases. "I have further reduced the scale of the map and narrowed the area where Maddie is buried in the ground to approximately 30 by 50 metres," he explains. The grave of the sweet girl - according to Schneider - is situated around 40 kilometres away from the former holiday resort of the McCanns. The clairvoyant wants to go there himself, and he is just waiting for the okay for a cadaver dog. Because German police dogs are the property of their respective federal state, a request has been placed with the Portuguese police. At the same time, Schneider has also tried through private channels. Dog trainer Uta Kielau (47) from Hamburg supports him. She has many contacts, and reveals her telephone wires are currently running hot. "We need someone who works privately or who belongs to an organization which can work across borders without problems," she says. Does a clairvoyant from Siegburg have the power to make the impossible possible? Or is it all just nonsense? "I am primarily clairaudient, which means that I have an inner voice," says the 43-year-old. Sometimes he receives the prompting spontaneously, he explains, but normally he must "ask something" - and he presents those questions to God. Schneider roughly knew the Maddie case from the press. The day before the parents were guests, in mid-October 2013, on "File Reference XY ... unsolved", he received an e-mail. "If you are truly a clairvoyant, why don't you help Maddie's parents to end this uncertain torment?", an unknown woman wanted to know.   On 16 October 2013 Maddie's parents, Kate and Gerry McCann (left), were with Rudi Cerne on the ZDF program "File Reference XY ... unsolved" as guests.

"I got the answer that she is dead and is located in the Algarve." Schneider gave his information to the "File Reference" team, who informed the investigating police in London. "Shortly thereafter, I got an inner glow throughout my body, much like a fever - because I knew then that I am very close to the truth," said the clairvoyant. Michael Schneider has already helped many missing persons cases free of charge and without intention for reward. Such as in March 2013, in Hamm, when the brother of Lilija Kladtschenko (34) vanished. For five weeks police and half the city searched in vain for 22-year-old Igor. Until the family learned about the Siegburger clairvoyant. "On the basis of a photograph, Mr Schneider told us that my brother lay in a body of water in Hamm," said Lilija Kladtschenko. Igor's body was recovered two days later from a lake in Hamm. "I am only a humble tool of God and I can also be mistaken," the clairvoyant said cautiously. -------------------- The paper edition:

However, the site on a rocky ledge turned out to be tricky. Just climbing down did not work. Was this the end? Back in Germany, came the surprise: The South Tyrolean mountaineer Roland Losso offered to climb into the ravine himself. Losso is friends with Reinhold Messner and Hans Kammerlander, and has often been climbing in the mountains with the two stars. The File-Team then found two other climbers who climbed down equipped with cameras. What they found can be seen today from 22.20 PM On "File 20.14". So, is the mysterious case finally solved? A few days ago there was a spectacular message from Scotland Yard: The English investigators have identified three main suspects on the basis of telephone data analysis. Burglars, who shortly before Maddie's disappearance, from a holiday complex in Praia da Luz, had broken into a property. Madeleine "Maddie" McCann disappeared without trace from there on 3 May 2007. "No matter what comes out of the search, I would be happy if this were to provide the impetus for the Portuguese authorities to focus more closely on this location near Albufeira," said the clairvoyant Schneider.
