Is Madeleine McCann Still Alive?

The disappearance of Madeleine McCann captured headlines in 2007 when she vanished from the family’s vacation apartment in Praia da Luz on the Algarve coast, nine days before her fourth birthday.

Numerous sightings of Madeleine were reported over the years. To further investigate the case, Scotland Yard launched Operation Grange in 2011 at the request of the British Home Secretary.

After reviewing over 30,000 documents and making numerous visits to Portugal, Detective Chief Inspector Andy Redwood recently said they continue to believe there is a possibility Madeleine is alive. Their review of the case has identified thirty-eight persons of interest, twelve of whom are British nationals. Madeleine’s parents are not suspects.

Hope still remains that this beautiful blonde-haired girl who has blue-green eyes with a distinctive mark on her right eye, known as a coloboma on the iris, will be found alive. For more information: Madeleine McCann Flyer
