Madeleine’s disappearance remains shrouded in mystery to this day and has been described as ‘the most heavily reported missing-person case in modern history.’

The missing girl’s parents, Kate and Gerry McCann, have committed themselves to the search for their daughter.

Her heartbroken family took to social media on the 18th anniversary of her disappearance and shared a heartbreaking update.

When did Madeleine McCann disappear?

Madeleine vanished from her bed in a vacation apartment on the evening of May 3, 2007. The resort was situated in the Algarve region of Portugal.

She and her twin siblings were asleep as Kate and Gerry dined at a nearby restaurant with friends.

A huge search was ignited after her parents discovered she had disappeared, extending across continents.

Despite the case receiving widespread attention, Madeleine’s whereabouts remain unknown.

However, there have been numerous updates.

Madeleine McCann updates

German prosecutors’ prime suspect in the McCann case, Christian Brückner, was released from a prison in Germany, where he was serving a sentence for an unrelated crime.

He was convicted of r**ing a 72-year-old American woman in Portugal in 2005.

Brückner has never been charged with any crime in relation to the McCann case and denies any involvement.

In the UK, Metropolitan Police Commissioner Sir Mark Rowley stated Brückner ‘remains a suspect for us’ and that the force continues to treat Madeleine’s disappearance as a missing person case.

Before updates were made in the case, Madeleine’s mother opened up about an important detail on the night of her daughter’s disappearance.

In her 2011 memoir ‘Madeleine: Our Daughter’s Disappearance and the Continuing Search for Her,’ Kate divulges a revelation she unearthed a year after police documents became public.

The missing girl’s mother was left horrified after finding a note from the holiday apartment complex while scanning through the police files.

In her book, Kate explained how on the holiday where Madeleine went missing, her group of nine went to a tapas restaurant every night.

Initially, it was complicated to accommodate such a large party, however, they managed to get a blocked booking ‘penciled in’ for the rest of the week.

After combing through police documents, Kate became concerned at how accessible the restaurant book was to the public.

“The note requesting our block booking was written in a staff message book, which sat on a desk at the pool reception for most of the day,” she wrote (via The New Zealand Herald).

“This book was by definition accessible to all staff and, albeit unintentionally, probably to guests and visitors, too.”

One specific detail in this note particularly alarmed Kate – it detailed how the McCanns left their children in the vacation apartment alone.

“To my horror, I saw that no doubt in all innocence and simply to explain why she was bending the rules a bit, the receptionist had added the reason for our request: we wanted to eat close to our apartments as we were leaving our young children alone there and checking on them intermittently,” she continued.

Kate explained how the group of nine would do their own ‘child-checking service’ while dining at the tapas restaurant instead of bringing the children along to dinner or requesting the apartment complex’s own child service.

“We now bitterly regret it and will do so until the end of our days,” Madeleine’s mother concluded.
