There’s a new Madeleine McCann documentary coming to Netflix. You can find out everything you need to know about it right here.
Next week will mark the 10th anniversary of the day Madeleine McCann went missing – a day her mother describes as “a horrible marker of stolen time”.
In the 10 years since May 3rd 2007, we’ve seen the most heavily reported missing person case in modern history descend into murky waters, blurring the line between fake and real.
We’ve seen distraught parents Kate and Gerry, from Rothley, England, stand before the world, holding up digitally altered images of their little girl, pleading with us: ‘This is what our daughter might look like today, have you seen her?’
We’ve seen fingers pointed, 8685 potential sightings recorded, and at last count, over seven million articles published.
And while the media spin out stories that feel reminiscent of those published on the disappearance of Azaria Chamberlain, we’ve forgotten about the two other children entangled in this sad, ugly mess:
Madeleine’s younger twin siblings, Sean and Amelie, who were sleeping just metres away in their cots when their sister was supposedly snatched. They’re now 12.
“We are bracing ourselves for the next couple of weeks,” mum Kate wrote on the official Find Madeleine Campaign Facebook page on Monday. “It’s likely to be stressful and painful and more so given the rehashing of old ‘stories’, misinformation, half-truths and downright lies which will be doing the rounds in the newspapers, social media and ‘special edition’ TV programmes.”
