The disappearance of Madeleine McCann has been one of the most high-profile and heavily reported missing-person cases in modern history.
Madeleine Beth McCann was only three years old when she disappeared on the evening of May 3, 2007, from a holiday apartment in Ocean Club resort in Praia da Luz, a resort town in Portugal’s Algarve region.
She had been vacationing with her parents, Kate and Gerald “Gerry” McCann, her younger twin siblings, and several of her parents’ friends and their children. She was taken from her bed sometime between 9:10 p.m. and 10:00 p.m. while her parents and their friends dined at a tapas bar some 55 meters away, but they checked in on the kids at regular intervals.
