Parents’ Worst Nightmare: The Story of Madeleine McCann

A Possible Sighting On TV?

In 2014 the Madeleine McCann case was brought back under the spotlight again after an image of a young girl bearing a strong resemblance to Maddie at a televised soccer game went viral. The image from the Europa League final match was shared by hundreds on social media who were hoping this might lead investigators to the missing girl, however others were quick to point out that the girl in the image appeared to be much younger than Maddie would have been at that time.

In the end police dismissed it as a lead, however Madeleine’s parents were grateful that people were still concerned for their daughters whereabouts, with a source close to the family telling the New Zealand Herald, “What is encouraging is that it shows everyone is still looking for Madeleine. That will give her family great strength.”
