Kate and Gerry McCann, the parents of missing girl Madeleine McCann, shared a heartfelt message on the 18th anniversary of her disappearance. Madeleine went missing while the family was on holiday in Portugal back in 2007. The couple posted their message on the Official Find Madeleine Campaign page, expressing their ongoing commitment to finding their daughter, despite having no significant updates to share.
In their message, they thanked supporters and charities that help search for missing children. They also noted that Madeleine’s 22nd birthday is coming up this month. The McCanns wrote, "No matter how near or far she is, she continues to be right here with us, every day, but especially on her special day. We continue to ‘celebrate’ her as the very beautiful and unique person she is. We miss her."
Madeleine’s case is one of the most well-known missing person cases in British history. She disappeared from her family’s holiday flat in Praia da Luz while her parents dined with friends nearby. Since then, the investigation has cost over £13 million, with the Metropolitan Police leading the efforts.
Recently, there has been renewed interest in the case due to Christian B, a German man who is considered the prime suspect in Madeleine’s disappearance. However, a German prosecutor stated that he will not face charges in the case for the foreseeable future. This has left many wondering about the future of the investigation.
As the anniversary approaches, the McCanns remain hopeful and determined to find answers about their daughter’s fate.
