🛫 Destination: Praia da Luz, Portugal
In May 2007, three-year-old Madeleine McCann vanished from a holiday resort in Praia da Luz, Portugal, while her parents dined just meters away. What should have been a relaxing family vacation turned into one of the most haunting missing persons cases in modern history.
Despite countless theories, worldwide media coverage, and a multimillion-dollar investigation spanning over a decade, Madeleine was never found. Suspects came and went, but no definitive answers emerged.
Then, in recent years, shocking new evidence has surfaced—including a convicted predator with ties to the area. Could this finally be the break investigators have been waiting for?
🔍 In This Episode, We Discuss:
⚠️ How predictable routines can make you a target—and why switching things up is key.
⚠️ The dangers of feeling “too safe” while traveling in familiar or resort settings.
⚠️ The bizarre twists and conspiracy theories surrounding Madeleine’s case.
