Lisbon - Portuguese police are investigating tips from clairvoyants in the search for Madeleine McCann, the four-year-old British girl who went missing on May 3 (2007) from her bed in the holiday resort of Praia da Luz, the daily Correio da Manha reported Thursday. Police sources said police were getting countless tips from people claiming to possess paranormal abilities by e-mail, mail or telephone.

Whenever a tip clearly mentioned a location, police followed it up in case the abductor had repented and wanted to reveal Madeleine's hiding place this way, according to the daily.

So far, however, the tips had not been useful.

Some of the clairvoyants contacting Portuguese police were British.

Well-known British medium Diane Lazarus has travelled to Portugal, reports said. Lazarus believes Madeleine is in Spain and will be returned to her parents.

Pope Benedict XVI received Madeleine's parents on Wednesday. Gerry and Kate McCann may visit Spain, Germany, the Netherlands and Morocco to keep the interest in their daughter's case alive, according to Correio da Manha.
