POLICE searching for Madeleine McCann are going through tips supplied by psychics and clairvoyants, it emerged today.

After one tip, a house in Croydon, south London, was raided by Metropolitan Police – but it turned out to be a false lead.

The Portuguese police are still no closer to explaining Madeleine’s disappearance from a holiday complex at Praia da Luz four weeks ago.

Now they are sifting through hundreds of emails and messages from clairvoyants who claim they know the location of the four-year-old.

A spokesman for the Policia Judiciara said they had two dossiers, 8cm thick, of apparent visions and sightings of the little girl, and each one is being taken seriously.

They are hoping one of the messages could be from the kidnapper.
