Madeleine McCann

It’s been eight years since three-year-old Madeleine McCann disappeared from a holiday villa in Portugal, but the case continues to make international headlines. On May 3^rd, 2007, Madeleine’s parents Kate and Gerry McCann of Leicester, England put their children to bed in their holiday apartment and left to dine with friends only 50 yards away. When Kate checked in on them at 10pm, Madeleine was already gone without a trace.
