Parents’ Worst Nightmare: The Story of Madeleine McCann

Hope Remains For Maddie

One senior investigator on the Madeleine McCann case believes that not only is the missing child alive, but that she’s being kept hidden somewhere “in plain sight.” Detective Dave Edgar strongly suspects that the girl, who would now be 14, is being held captive and is not even aware that people are searching for her. Edgar, who was hired by the McCanns for three years of the investigation, remains hopeful that the upcoming 10-year anniversary of Maddie’s disappearance could cause someone to come forward with new information.

“In my experience, they (perpetrators) always confide in someone else for whatever reason and that person needs to come forward and speak to the authorities. I would suggest that 10 years, while it seems a long time, would not feel like that to that person with information. What happened on that night would still be fresh in their mind…. We have seen in a number of cases recently where people have come forward and given evidence of events which took place many years ago,” Edgar relayed to Daily Express.
