(Newser) – Turns out a lookalike in New Zealand is not the long-missing Madeleine McCann. The DNA of a Queenstown girl was sent to Scotland Yard for testing, despite local police's certainty that she wasn't the British Maddy, who went missing in 2007. "Following a DNA submission, we are now satisfied the girl identified in New Zealand is not Madeleine McCann," London police said, according to the New Zealand Herald.

Of course the DNA would not match.  Madeleine McCann, like JonBenet Ramsey, was murdered 6 years ago by one or both of her parents.
