On the 19th anniversary of Madeleine McCann’s disappearance, her parents express their ongoing quest for “justice.” Kate and Gerry McCann shared a heartfelt update on the Official Find Madeleine Campaign Facebook page, reaffirming their unwavering determination to never cease the search for their missing daughter.
Madeleine went missing at the age of three from a holiday apartment in Praia da Luz, Portugal, on May 3, 2007. She would have turned 22 by now. Despite extensive investigations by authorities in the UK and Europe, no concrete leads have been discovered, and no one has been held accountable for her vanishing.
In their latest statement, the McCann family reflects on the 19-year journey, emphasizing their continuous efforts to locate Madeleine, seek justice, and enhance global safety. They express gratitude for the immense support received from friends, family, strangers, and law enforcement agencies.
Signed by “Kate, Gerry, and family,” the message resonates with a plethora of well-wishers hoping for Madeleine’s safe return. Notably, prime suspect Christian Brueckner, a convicted rapist, has been released from prison in Germany without facing charges related to Madeleine’s case.
Recently, additional funding was allocated to sustain the investigation into Madeleine’s disappearance. Operation Grange, comprising a small team of dedicated officers, has been granted £86,000 for the upcoming fiscal year. The total expenditure on the missing persons inquiry has now reached approximately £13.3 million since its inception in 2011.
In a significant development, DC Mark Draycott from Operation Grange testified at Brueckner’s trial in 2024, shedding light on a crucial lead implicating him in the case. However, due to insufficient evidence, prosecutors have stated a lack of grounds for indicting Brueckner in connection to Madeleine McCann’s disappearance.
