It’s been 12 years, to the month, since Madeleine McCann vanished.
The McCann family were on a holiday in Portugal, when Kate and Gerry McCann left their three kids in their holiday apartment while they dined at a restaurant just 83 metres away.
When Madeleine’s mother came to check on her three children, one was missing. Their three-year-old daughter, Maddie, had disappeared, and there’s been no credible sighting of her since.
Photos of the wide-eyed little girl have circulated in the media for years, making her one of the most recognisable missing children in the world.
In March this year, Netflix released an eight-part documentary The Disappearance of Madeleine McCann, reigniting discussion and theories about what exactly happened to the little girl on the evening of May 3, 2007.
From a sex-trafficking theory to conjecture that her parents know exactly what happened, it would seem that all possibilities have been considered and explored.

But what is the likelihood that the three-year-old wandered off?
There has been a line of inquiry that Madeleine McCann woke from her sleep during the night, wandered off looking for her parents, and drowned in the nearby ocean or was hit by a car.
Jim Gamble was the most senior child protection police officer when Madeleine disappeared in 2007, and was involved in the search for the three-year-old initially.
