Australian Billionaire Bill Wyllie Linked to Madeleine McCann Case

The case of the missing British girl Madeleine McCann has taken so many twists and turns who knows if there is any truth to this latest theory of what happened to the girl:

PRIVATE detectives searching for Madeleine McCann hope to interview the widow and daughter of Australian property tycoon Bill Wyllie amid claims their yacht may be involved in the British girl’s disappearance.

A multimillion-dollar luxury yacht owned by Perth socialite Rhonda Wyllie was moored in Barcelona, Spain, three days after Madeleine disappeared from a holiday resort in Portugal in May 2007.

About the same time, a woman aged in her 30s with an Australian or New Zealand accent reportedly asked a British businessman at the marina if he was there to “deliver my new daughter”.

Private detectives working for Madeleine’s parents want to speak with Mrs Wyllie and her daughter, 31-year-old Melissa Karlson, to find out why the vessel was in Barcelona and if either woman was travelling aboard.

Ms Wyllie is reportedly “devastated” by reports in British papers about the possible connection between her 32m yacht, Willpower, and the inquiry.   [Daily Telegraph]
