It's been seven years since Madeline McCann vanished while vacationing with her family in Portugal. Seven harrowing years. Since reopening the investigation three years ago, police are finally on the brink of making arrests in connection with the case.
According to an article in Yahoo, Madeleine—known in the press as Maddy—was nearly four when she disappeared in May, 2007, from the rented apartment while her parents ate at a nearby restaurant.
They were cleared as suspects, yet the case had no real leads. Until now. Burglars were apparently active in and around the apartment block. Three of whom are currently sought by Scotland Yard after a high number of calls were made the night of Maddy's disappearance.
The McCanns have campaigned long and hard to keep Maddy's face in the news. Incredibly, they have never given up hope of finding their daughter. And rightly so—because though rare, it does happen.
''There is no clear, definitive proof that Madeleine McCann is dead, so on that basis I still genuinely believe that there is a possibility that she is alive,'' said Metropolitan Police Detective Chief Inspector Andy Redwood.
Let's pray he's right.
