Parents’ Worst Nightmare: The Story of Madeleine McCann

They Weren’t Alone on Their Vacations

On April 28th 2007 the family arrived in Portugal for a family vacation in the town of Praia de Luz. The McCann family went on vacation with seven other friends, all of the families brought their combined eight children. The other families included Fiona and David Payne and their two kids. Fiona and David were also physicians like the McCann’s. Fiona’s mother, Dianne Webster also came along.

Jane Tanner and Russell O’Brien and their two kids were also on the trip. Jane was a marketing manager and Russell is also a physician. Matthew and Rachel Olfield also joined in. Matthew was also a physician and Rachael is a lawyer and recruitment consultant. The two brought along their daughter as well.

These friendships would be tested by what happened next. And perhaps destroyed.
