Madeleine McCann has not been found. She disappeared from her family’s vacation apartment at the Ocean Club resort in Praia da Luz, Portugal, on the night of May 3, 2007. Her parents were having dinner with friends at a nearby restaurant and left three-year-old Madeleine and her younger twin siblings asleep and unsupervised. However, they were checking in on the children every 30 minutes or so. At 10:00 pm it was discovered that she was missing from her bedroom, and a window was open. The case received intense media coverage, and authorities from three countries—Portugal, Germany, and the United Kingdom—launched investigations into Madeleine’s disappearance. However, she has never been located, and no arrests have been made.
