Hope has been dashed again in the search for missing British toddler Madeleine McCann, after a journalist for a London newspaper flew to Morocco and identified a young blond girl in a picture circulated around the world as a possible sighting of McCann.

London's "The Evening Standard" is running a front-page story with a new close-up photograph of the girl under the bold headline: "It's Not Her."

Evening Standard journalist Rashid Razaq flew to Morocco from London and reported that he saw the youngster Wednesday.

"She has got a resemblance to Madeleine but when you see her properly, it is obvious it isn't her," Razaq told the Press Association.
