| What happened to Madeleine McCann? |
It may have escaped some, but Netflix are currently
screening their hotly anticipated, although rather controversial, ‘The
Disappearance of Madeleine McCann’ documentary.
A brief history: Madeleine McCann (aka Maddie) was a three-year-old
British child reported missing on Thursday, May 3, 2007, while on holiday with
her family (and close family friends) in Praia Da Luz, Portugal.
Though Maddie’s whereabouts are still unknown, over the
years, there have been several reports of her being seen alive. Along with these, plenty of circulating talk of murder and political intrigue, police
corruption, paedophile gangs, and out-of-place celebrity connections. All of this adding further to the confusion over what really happened in Portugal that night.
Despite these reports, rumours, and the myriad of theories, British Police are no closer to finding out what happened to the little girl or
learning where she is today. It’s unknown whether Maddie is dead or alive. (I emphasize British, as the Portuguese Police in charge of the investigation at the time, came to their Occam's Razor conclusion in 2007, later to be refuted without further investigation thus closing the case until more evidence is produced, while Kate and Gerry McCann remain suspects/persons of interest).  |
| Look familiar? |
On this close anniversary, what would be Maddie’s twelfth birthday (May 12th), it’s notable to see a resurgence of interest in her disappearance.
I’ve written in the past about some of the ridiculous ‘evidence’ in this case, namely on the Photofit Phantom…
Here is the link to a tiny part of it, the infamous and mostly forgotten
photofit of a suspect known as ‘Egg Man’.
There is so much information to be found online that I won’t
repeat here. But a basic Google search will find you some convincing interviews,
and the truth about missing children around the world. Maddie’s case is altogether
a great mystery because nothing can be tied down. There’s plenty of information (accidentally
on-purpose) hidden from the mainstream public access. If you’re really
interested, you need to dig a little deeper than a sensationalistic Netflix serial.
I’ve not yet seen this Netflix ‘diamond’ of a documentary,
but no doubt can pretty much guess what will be in it, having studied the case
in its entirety since 2007, communicating with real investigators in the case,
and actually reading the transcript of the Police interviews at the time.
Try looking for intriguing pieces about how Kate and Gerry McCann answer those questions from journalists all over the world when asked if they killed their daughter, or the Cadaver Dog evidence, where statistically, a shocking conclusion may be drawn... a clue to the mantra you hear often in this case that sadly... ‘Dogs don’t’ lie’.

I would love for some amazing miracle to occur… for Maddie
or Madeline to come walking into a room full of reporters, glaring
lights, microphones swinging, and an internet live stream of ‘Breaking News’ flashing across the wide screen. For her to say ‘I know my first name is Madeleine’… but
somehow this is one of those miracles that is just not going to happen.
