It is almost seven years since a four-year-old girl named Madeleine McCann vanished from her bed in a Portuguese holiday resort. The case was an instant sensation - the British equivalent of America's Lindbergh kidnapping - and remains the subject of intense public interest.
The Portuguese police investigation moved within months from investigation of an apparent abduction to naming parents Gerry and Kate McCann as suspects - the chief investigator has publicly stated that they may have caused their own daughter's death. Later, however, the parents' status as suspects was removed and the case closed - unsolved.
Parents Gerry and Kate McCann, however, have never given up. They hired private detectives, and have kept the case in the public eye every way they could. As the result of speculation and rumour, though, many people still wonder whether the McCanns had something to do with their daughter's disappearance.
