Does anyone know more about this sighting? Costa-del-Sol

Is there any information on who she did these multiple reports to?

There's no evidence that Operation Grange did anything either, unless I've missed it.

It would have saved time if you had added that to your original post.

It wasn't necessary.

As always Briettas post was totally clear IMO

It was the actions of "The Olive Press" reporters that tracked Kraten Mayer down to Bern in Switzerland, I suppose it was the Swiss police who went and spoke to him, maybe he went to the Swiss police and admitted she was his daughter one or the other.  Strange thing was that there was one admission that the two curly haired toddlers, who were "normal " to Karen, were not his.  There were 3 kids with them but only one was his yet according to Karen she was the one not interacting with the family.  That bit still sounds totally suspicious to me, always unsubstantiated IMO. 
It confirmed Karen's observations, that they were not playing like a family, but completely opposite to what she saw.
What OG did is not clear.

I suggest you are committing libel.

[Robittybob1]

I suggest you are committing libel.

It is all in the papers on the case.  All is documented. I can cite every sentence there as it has been reported in the 20 or so internet articles on the incident.  It might seem libellous but that is what has been written in the media.
It has been a matter of doing full internet searches and even translating the foreign language articles.

You are suggesting that someone who has been investigated and cleared is suspicious.

No report ever says he was investigated and cleared.    The nearest to cleared was OG saying (or someone else saying I can't tell) he was "all but cleared".  To me "all but cleared" is not cleared.
It is me who finds it suspicious.  I'm not convinced that he has been cleared.  They are mere opinions.

"Mr Mayer also pledged to speak to police to clear himself of any connection to missing Madeleine following the media reports yesterday.

'I am turning myself over to police,' said Mr Mayer, a self employed businessman, 'before these media reports get me arrested.'

I think if he hadn't been cleared something would have come of it by now.  For example if the Swiss police had proved the child he claimed as his daughter was actually Madeleine ... would that not have been fantastic and we would all have heard about it.

I think it is clear that Mr Mayer is squeaky clean and he is who he says he is and his daughter is who he says she is and his family circumstances are what he claims which explains why his daughter looks nothing like his dark haired boys.

His reported comment about going to the police really is not in the least cause for concern, in my opinion, just a perfectly normal reaction to setting the record straight and doing so as quickly as possible.

I agree with you on that.

If you think you can find cites for any of the things you think happened I'd like to read them.

"his dark haired boys."  There was a report saying those kids weren't his.  He claims to have a daughter only.

[Robittybob1]

This is now my third day I've been working at resolving this issue.  Whether Google always gives us the same results from day to day I don't know. 

[Carana]

I agree with you on that.

Seconded.

In my opinion the explanation is simple.  The two younger children were with their mother who may have been Mr Mayer's friend, partner or his wife ~ but he was not the father of her children.

His blonde daughter may not have lived with them.  She may have lived with her mother and was just on holiday with her father and new family which might explain some of the circumstances noted by the witness particularly her late addition to the party.

That is all supposition based on the details we have so no cites.

There is a quote from the Swiss police so they knew about it and their investigations were almost complete ... since we've heard nothing further from them ... I think Mr Mayer is well in the clear.
