Ep. 15 – The 3-Year-Old Who Vanished in Portugal: Madeleine McCann

🛫 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?
