Fed: Flood of calls after Australian-McCann link revealed

Private detectives searching for missing girl MADELEINE McCANN have received hundreds
of calls after appealing for information about a mysterious woman linked to the case ..

who they believe could be Australian.

CLARENCE MITCHELL .. a spokesman for MADELEINE's parents KATE and GERRY McCANN .. has
told British media there's already been a substantial response to the appeal .. including
several possible names for the woman.

It was revealed earlier this week an unidentified British man has told detectives he
held a brief conversation with an Australian-sounding woman in the Spanish city of Barcelona
.. just three days after MADELEINE went missing.

He told them the agitated woman asked him if he was the one delivering her new daughter.

The four-year-old vanished from her family's rented holiday apartment in the Portuguese
resort of Praia da Luz on May 3 .. 2007 .. while her parents dined with friends at a
nearby restaurant.
