She described the man who was with the girl as in his thirties and roughly 5ft 10in (around 1.77 meters) tall. She also claimed that he did not look Moroccan. The woman declared that she called the police to inform them about her sighting but they turned down her call. Missing for 10 years Many witnesses have claimed seeing the missing girl in Morocco. According to the same source, a man from Yorkshire, England, claimed that he saw Madeleine on the same day at the Ibis Hotel in Marrakech just a few blocks away from the station earlier mentioned by the woman.

Her parents continued the investigation believing that her disappearance was part of a criminal act.
