If someone asked me which cases I’d like to see solved before I died it would be this one and the jon bonet Ramsay case

If they can afford to go out EVERY NIGHT to eat & drink they can certainly pay for a babysitter !!!

As a Brit, it makes me so angry that her parents didn’t get in trouble for it. Why on earth you would leave your children alone under 10 in a foreign country I’ll never know, I just hope we will get to find out what happens one day, that poor girl!

As a mother of a 3yo I was struggling to listen to this. I live in Norway, and I am waitress at  a touristic restaurant.  I have had many kids left in the lounge area with money in their hands to pay for whatever they wanted and the parents would just leave them there for hours to go and do God knows what... I am talking kids between 6 and max.10 years old...some people are just...I don't know...

I’m from the UK and I’ve never met anyone who doesn’t think they killed her! Me included) So sad :(

Sam I love how diplomatic you are and I myself am not a parent either but... who leaves their children in an apartment? Never mind abduction being possible, they could have stopped breathing, had a medical emergency, Madeleine could have got up and hurt herself on appliances in the apartment etc it was completely irresponsible and being from the UK I remember this happening and my mum saying that if anybody else had left their kids it would be neglect and their other children would have been removed by social services but because they were rich doctors it was all fine. They are to blame for whatever happened to that little girl and I’m sure that will haunt them forever, but it’s very hard to not judge in this scenario. A lot of common sense was lacking for sure.

I'm from Portugal and I truly believe that her parents knew something and still do. This is one of the most talked cases ever here, and I think all around the world to. She was just 3 years old!

I love this background so much

Hahaha little Shih Tzu scaring us 😂😂 That's adorable 😆

The parents know where she went, they know exactly what happened to her, they were involved in some way, shape or form and nobody will ever tell me otherwise. When anyone tries to prove me otherwise I like to casually remind them that her parents have been questioned multiple times, and have been specifically asked "did you have something to do with her disappearance", "do you know where she is/was" and "did you kill her/arrange for her to be taken". they have never responded to these questions with anything other than "no comment" and that just screams guilty to me. There is a list of 48 questions that her mother was asked in a questioning by the police three months after she went missing; she refused to answer any of them. out of the 49 questions she was asked that night she refused to answer 48 of them.

Oh man that question that Madeline asked is gutting 😭💔

I don't know why but i think that she 's still alive.

I remember this happening (I'm from the uk). This made me very paranoid about being on holidays with my children. So much so that I sleep with one and my husband sleeps with the other and there must be safety bars on the windows. It's sad that this is the world we live in 😫

9pm in the uk lovely timing goodnight all🌟

I think the parents were irresponsible for leaving young children alone (anyone under 16 shouldn’t be left alone in my opinion), but not just them. The police messed up big time. They could of solved this case if they hadn’t made so many errors in the beginning.

Ain’t gonna lie when I saw your dog move I thought is that the killer I said  girl watch out sis!!! 🤣😨🤣

This heartbreaking case actually got me into loving true crime, thank you for covering it!

The idea that the abductor might nave been there the night before and scared the kids is so unsettling.

I know it's just reckless speculation but I think whoever abducted Madeleine likely killed her very quickly once they realised how many people were looking for her and how recognisable she would be with her eye condition. Such a tragic case.

I remember when I was just a kid, and I saw the magazine cover on the the rack at Walmart, with the headline, "Kidnapped on vacation." I never really thought much about it for a number of years, though the concept of a child being kidnapped on vacation sounded horrifiying. I guess it stuck in my mind enough, because, years later (just about half a year ago, in fact), I decided to Google it because I wanted to see what exactly the story was. I knew no names, no information, nothing. Just the magazine cover. I expected I'd run into a dead end and not find the story, given how much luck I have with other Google searches for generic terms. First result was Madeleine McCann. And it shocked me to discover that she was never found. And any doubts I had that this was the same event I saw on the magazine cover were put to rest as soon as I Google Image searched "Madeleine McCann magazine cover," and found the exact cover I had seen years and years ago. Why this stuck in my mind for so long, I'll never know, but I'm glad I was eventually able to find this story.
