- Madeleine's official websitePortuguese police have started investigating an area just nine miles from where Madeleine McCann was abducted after a tip off from a Dutch source.
An anonymous letter claiming the four-year-old lies buried under rocks in deserted scrubland was sent to newspaper De Telegraaf and passed on to the Portuguese Policia Judiciaria.
It was thought to pinpoint an area north of Odiaxere, north east of Praia da Luz from where the girl was snatched 41 days ago.
Chief Inspector Olegario Sousa said the information was being taken seriously and "everything necessary" was being done to validate the allegation.
"There have been exchanges between Dutch police and us," he said. "The information indicated an area 15km from the place of the disappearance of the little child.
"It is not far from Praia da Luz. We are checking the information like we check everything in this case for importance."
Asked if the search involved digging, he said: "If the information gives us a precise location where we can look, we will do it."
According to De Telegraaf, the letter said Madeleine was buried "north of the road under branches and rocks, around six to seven metres off the road" in a barren and deserted landscape.
A map came with the letter, with crosses marked on it.
