A BLACK bundle was seen being taken from a jet ski to a boat near
where Madeleine McCann went missing, it was revealed yesterday.
The incident, six miles from Praia da Luz in Portugal, happened
around ten hours after Maddie disappeared.
Two relatives of British expat Patrick Matthews, 37, witnessed
the transfer as they went for an early-morning stroll at Salema
Beach
As soon as they heard of the hunt for the missing three-year-old
they contacted Portuguese cops, fearing they may have witnessed her
body being disposed of.
But the pair say their report has NEVER been chased up. They
described the bundle as being around three foot long.
One of the witnesses, a 70-year-old who does not want to be
named, said: “We saw this man sitting on the jet ski with the
package between his knees.
“He was medium build and dressed in black. We started to wonder
what on earth he was doing.
“The man and the jet ski must have been taken on to the boat.”
The other witness, a woman aged 58, said: “We heard the jet ski
set off and it went and joined the boat.” Patrick said: “It could
have been drugs – or you could package a body up quite easily.”
Portuguese police were unavailable for comment.
