BRUSSELS, Belgium (Reuters) -- Belgian authorities are conducting DNA tests on a bottle and a straw after a possible sighting of missing British four-year-old Madeleine McCann last weekend.
Four-year-old Madeleine McCann disappeared from a hotel resort in Portugal on May 3.
A woman called police in the eastern town of Tongeren near the Dutch border on Saturday after seeing a couple with a small girl at a roadside cafe.
"She has considerable dealings with children and she was convinced the girl was Madeleine," a prosecution spokeswoman said. "There is a bottle and straw that the girl probably drank from and we are testing them."
The couple were described as a Dutch-speaking man of about 40 and a English-speaking woman of around 25. Tongeren legal authorities have drawn up photo-fit pictures of the pair.
The results of the DNA test should be known next week.
Madeleine went missing on a family holiday to Portugal on May 3, since when there have been dozens of possible sightings. E-mail to a friend
