Parents’ Worst Nightmare: The Story of Madeleine McCann

Mistakes In The Investigation

It was later revealed that tons of mistakes were made during the early investigation. Police at the border and at sea were not given proper notification of Madeleine for many hours. No door to door searches were made, roadblocks weren’t put up until the next morning.

The road company called Euroscut which monitors the local roads said they weren’t approached for information. Interpol didn’t issue a global missing person alert for five days. Also, people who were staying at the resort were not interviewed and the crime scene was not secured, nor were the surroundings directly outside of the apartment and many people trampled the area likely also destroying evidence.
