Madeleine McCann was born in Leicester and raised in Rothley, Leicestershire, with her family. Shortly after her disappearance, she was made a ward of court in England at her parents’ request.
Madeleine, her parents Kate and Gerry McCann, her two-year-old twin siblings, and a group of family friends and their children were on vacation from the United Kingdom.
She and the twins were left in the ground-floor apartment at 20:30, while the McCanns and their guests dined in a restaurant 55 meters away (180 feet).
The parents kept an eye on the kids all night until Kate noticed Madeleine was missing around 22:00.
The Portuguese authorities began to suspect that Madeleine had died in an apartment accident and that her parents had covered it up during the following weeks, particularly after misinterpreting a British DNA study.
In September 2007, the McCanns were designated as arguidos (suspects), but that designation was revoked when the case was archived in July 2008 due to a lack of evidence by Portugal’s attorney general.
Madeleine’s parents used private detectives to continue the search until Scotland Yard launched Operation Grange, its own investigation, in 2011.
