There was speculation last night that the girl, could be a missing child, in a case similar to that of Maddy who disappeared while on holiday in Portugal six years ago.
Police have launched an international appeal to identify the blonde youngster.
They believe up to 10 more children found at the camp near Farsala in central Greece, may be the victims of a trafficking ring.
Maria was living with a couple to whom she bore no resemblance. A DNA tests proved she was not related. A 39-year-old man and a woman, 40, have been charged with abducting a minor.
The child, who was found 'safe and well' on Wednesday during a routine search by police looking for drugs and weapons, can only speak Roma.
She sparked one of the officer's curiosity as she is pale skinned and bore no resemblance to the other children or the couple who claimed to be her parents.
Police said the couple conflicting accounts about the girl, one claiming that she was found in a blanket, the other claiming she had been handed to them by strangers.
'Her features suggest that she might be from an eastern or northern (European) country,' regional police chief Panayiotis Tzavaras said.
Police have notified Interpol for assistance.
Detectives say they also found drugs and unregistered firearms in other parts of the settlement, which is about 280 kilometers (170 miles) north of Athens.
The police statement said the couple claimed to have a total 14 children, and had registered different numbers with authorities in three different parts of Greece.
Officers found three minors living with them in the settlement who appear to be their children - although that hasn't yet been verified by DNA testing.
