Parents’ Worst Nightmare: The Story of Madeleine McCann

A Parent’s Worst Nightmare

At around 9:30 PM, Kate was going to check on the kids, but Matthew Oldfield was going to check on his own kids and said he would check in on the McCann children as well. He noticed that the door was wide open but heard no noises so he thought everything was fine and didn’t look far enough to see if Madeleine was there.

Kate later checked on her own around 10 PM. She also noticed the kid’s bedroom was wide open. She tried to close the door but she could feel a draft and saw that the bedroom window was open. It was then that she noticed Madeleine was gone. Her comfort blanket and her Cuddle Cat remained behind but the precious girl was nowhere to be seen. Kate searched the apartment quickly, but could not find her and ran back to the restaurant screaming “Madeleine’s gone! Someone’s taken her!”
