Parents’ Worst Nightmare: The Story of Madeleine McCann

McCann’s Suing Portuguese Detective?

Kate and Gerry McCann have been at odds with Portuguese detective Goncalo Amaral over his beliefs about the disappearance of their daughter Madeleine. He has written several books and even made a documentary that presumes to tell the truth about what happened to her. Amaral was the detective who was initially investigating Madeleine disappearance back in 2007.

The McCann’s have labeled his claims as “nonsense.” Amaral believes that Madeleine was killed, probably accidentally, in the apartment and was never abducted. He furthers believes that the McCann’s actually created the abduction as a distraction from her death. The McCann’s have always denied all allegations of wrongdoing. The McCann’s attempted to sue Amaral various times over both his books and his documentary, however they lost their case in the Portuguese Supreme Court.
