What do you think of the case of Madeleine McCann? Are they closer to finally solving this mystery?
I feel that the parents drugged the kids to keep them asleep so they could hang out with friends. Maddie overdosed and that's why the dogs 'hit' on both the room and the trunk. The twins didn't wake up when the cops arrived through all that hullabaloo. Ummm... Why didn't they wake up?
I don't believe they purposely killed that sweet little girl and this was an accident and they panicked.
I thought they had dismissed this creepy b****** as a suspect a while ago?? 🤔
I don't know... I always got the feeling that it was an operation, but if he was a burglar/pedo who happened to stumble across maddie during a typical break in and took advantage of the opportunity, that seems very possible.
I have a very hard time processing my feelings about this case. I recognize that if she was trafficked, she likely would have lived a hellish life, but it would leave room for hope that she's still alive. Though I don't know that she'd necessarily prefer that to be her reality, and I don't want to pray for that for her...
Ideally, I'd love for it to turn out that she was taken and given to a mother who could not conceive, and that she's been cherished and cared for during all of these years away from her family. Still a terrible situation, but the best anybody could hope for, so I think I'm just going to hang on to that until it's conclusively proven otherwise.
🤔😳 NOT SURE WAY TOO MANY PLAYERS AND WHY WOULD YOU LEAVE THE TWINS THERE IF ONE KID IS ALREADY MISSING¿?!¡
Something about the parents sounds out of place. 🤔 🇿🇦
I will never understand how parents can leave their children unattended in a unlocked hotel room in a foreign country( or any where for that matter). While they go dining and drinking with their friends.
Me too
I feel the same way. Like what the F**k .
I’m not being funny if that was the likes of you or me would have had children taken away from us why didn’t they throw a fit to be parents
My parents did it in the 70's but we were ages 5 thru 10 and we knew they were only a block away at the bar. My parents were alcoholics and our little town only had 90 people most were family or life long friends so it was normal and everyone did it. Then one day something happened and that all changed, doors were locked at night and parents were home with the kids at least one of them. If I had kids I would never leave them alone like that but different times i guess.
And never got charged for neglect.
Appalling that these educated doctors left three babies alone in a hotel room while they wined and dined. No babysitter! Parents of less social status would have been charged with child neglect at the very least. You don't just "look in on" two toddlers and a three year old child. You have someone with them tending to them.
Yes I Absolutely agree with you
They certainly could have afforded competent child care.
Also, leaving the door unlocked and even partially Open!!??
wasn't there a mother of African American descent who went to jail and got her kids taken for leaving them in a hotel so she could WORK?
Every 30 minutes, it's important to keep the facts straight. They weren't the only ones who didn't have a sitter, which doesn't make it Ok by any means. The price they are having to pay is awful, and I hope they finally get answers.
Don't ever leave your children alone. There are many of these people lurking around for an opportunity.
If they never did this then this probably wouldn’t have happened!
True....but irrelevant in this case....the parents did it
@@tamielizabethallaway2413 I always thought they did it too...
Esp in a foreign country
@@belindabutcher7925 honestly same. I just talked with my sister today about this case and I said to her that Iam curious if Maddy's silblings will ever speak out about all that in the future.
Didn't want to leave them with "strangers" so they left them alone with the doors unlocked instead. This will never add up.
Not if you can’t add up.
didnt they leave the kids with strangers all day? what diffrence would a couple of hours at night have made.
My son just turned 7 yesterday. Never ever I mean EVER would I put him to sleep and leave him at my own house let alone a hotel at a resort. Then on top of it they chose not to use the babysitting service that was available. Im completely baffled on why the parents did this and I guarantee they regret it to this day
I hope one day the truth comes out about little Maddie. However, the parents are responsible for putting their children in a risky situation.
They should be charged with neglect at the very least
They are the only ones responsible and are negligent and also are the only ones who knows where her body is. All the evidence is in plain sight but the body to this day and yet they blame a pedophile who happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time with the wrong record to have at a time of questioning. He was profiled because of his passed and much evidence was skipped over that they already had before then because authorities were frustrated and wanted to put an end to the case along with hoping he's the guy so that they can find a body. But tis not the case here. The parents made a mistake and panicked with thought of their lives are over if truth be told. They should have just come clean to begin with and they wouldn't have gained international media attention. Not there is no way out of what's to come eventually.
I find the pact of the 8 meaning their friends suspicious. One or more of them must know something. Wheather it takes 20,30 or 40yrs the truth always comes out in the end.
Thank you for not letting us forget about beautiful Madeleine
I travelled with my young son all over the world going on summer trips. Never, never, not for one minute do you leave your kids alone, especially overseas.
I literally cannot understand the logic of leaving such small children alone in an UNLOCKED location. Leaving them alone, without anyone who could get help if something went wrong is bad enough, but to not use the bare minimum of protection, a door lock? What, for convenience? All of those parents should have been charged with negligence.
And then after finding the window and doors open and Madeline missing the mum runs back to the restaurant leaving the other 2 babies behind!!!!
@@ClaireB34 Totally insane on her part!
@@ClaireB34 Seriously, why not just run to the door and scream at the top of your lungs, the others would have heard you, so would the resort staff.
look, you need a break from these high maintenance toddlers. you could take it in turns to go out and get drunk, they could have had a swingers set up and rostered different baby sitters each night. one night gerry goes out and kate the next night. get what i mean?
@@ClaireB34 she’s so dumb for that I’m sorry like what if anything that’s more reason to GRAB them and get the hell out of there
As most of the comments say, I have always been shocked these parents left the kids alone in a strange hotel room. If they had cameras in the rooms and audio listen devices, then going across the street for 30 minutes, maybe it is OK. Just sad they made such a bad mistake. That poor baby.
Agreed, it was hoursss long. Not just an hour of dinner. That’s insane. I don’t even leave my 6 year old son in the car to pay for gas
As a parent, there is nothing that anyone could ever say to me to justify the decisions that were made to leave those kids alone in a foreign country, in a strange motel room that was unlocked. What kind of parents choose to do this? Both of them doctors and well-educated. No one will ever be able to justify the choices they made that night.
@@susannetaylor9914agreed, BUT
Who says that they are doctors?
In any case, these past 3 years should clearly indicate that MOST doctors are liars, and money driven.
When my youngest daughter was the same age as the twins, she would sleep through her teenage sisters sporting events on a regular basis. She would sleep sitting on my lap on packed bleachers in a crowded gymnasium with people yelling and clapping, buzzers going off, and whistles blowing all around her. Even being passed from person to person if I had to go to the bathroom didn’t wake her. She slept through her sisters softball team winning a softball tournament while horns honked and people cheered and yelled right beside her at the top of their lungs. She was a super active child, she literally never stopped moving until she fell asleep and when she did, she was OUT! She was used to sleeping through noise because she had older siblings and because we didn’t tiptoe around while she was sleeping, she got used to sleeping through it.
I get what you are saying as your daughter sounds exactly like me… but I was eventually diagnosed with Narcolepsy in my 20’s. I am also a mother of twins so am more inclined to believe that no sane parent could or would ever confidently leave twin toddlers unsupervised for ANY amount of time ESPECIALLY in an unfamiliar environment (let alone a foreign country!) without first sedating them with drugs. When you think 🤔 about it, the parents had a lot to lose like let’s just say for example their medical license! If they lost their job titles: along with their reputation & income, they would also lose their identity & country club social status (there is a very real stereotyped white privileged British/UK🇬🇧 old boys club superiority mentality… so being part of the “upper class” is a BIG cultural deal (especially for a classic self-centred narcissistic jerk like the Dad whom like to look down on others and thinks very highly of himself!) in society, which I feel plays a very big part and is kinda a major overlooked motive for the parents to commit a cover up or unfortunately even murder!
My infant daughter slept through the bowling alley, and vacuum with out waking!
I could sleep though anything when I was a child. I still can. Unless it's crying. I think I developed being able to hear crying in my sleep when I became a mom. Now even when the dog whines, I wake up. But I can sleep at a metal concert with my back literally against the speaker. Weird.
@@kalimaxine same, my mums found me sound asleep in my room as a teen, TV blaring, lights on and headphones in with heavy metal music blasting away in my ears. I'm still like that now. I'll go to my best mates house and curl up to watch a movie on the bed and I'm out. He's up walking around, lights on and off , comp on, on the phone and I'm dead to the world. But the minute I became a mum to my 2 daughters the minute they cry I'm awake. Same as my pug, I'm like psychically connected to him even more then my kids haha if he gets off the bed or armchair and I'm asleep and he can't get back on he doesn't bark or make a noise, he just stares at me and I wake up lol my daughter was like he stares at you and u just wake up, its creepy. But I'll sleep through a movie turned up full volume or my girls screamin, laughing and running around the house when they have slumber parties or mates over. Yet my parents or my best friend will wake up if a fly farts in the next room. Thank God I don't have that problem cus that would suck
She's not Maddy. Or the other 2 children left alone in a strange hotel in a strange place... she's never been murdered.. do I really need to go on or are you getting it yet? 🙄
I really hope the case is closed. Just so Maddie can get rest ✨. Love the video, great content as always ✨
We hope so too, thank you!
Nothing will change from her perspective regardless of what happens with the case. I'm not sure what "rest" you're talking about. Are you just saying that you don't want to hear about her case anymore?
@@jumpinjohnnyruss How did you not pick up on what OP meant? They mean so she can rest in peace OBVIOUSLY.
@@jumpinjohnnyruss no I was talking about her spirit being at rest?
@@CrimeAllTheTime yeah I felt it was quite clear but oh well
This dude from Germany should be locked up permanently for all of his other crimes, but frankly it seems like a stretch to connect him with poor Madelyn's case. Unfortunately, the method or non method of checking on the kids by the parents just muddled the investigation so much more. Awfully sad and frustrating!
YES. Madeline aside, WTF AND WHY is that freak NOT behind bars.
@@-MaryPoppins- What freak are you talking about? The latest bogus suspect is Christian Breuckner & he is in prison for other offences. Personally I don't believe he raped that old lady, I don't believe one hair is enough to convict anyone & he is a paedophile so why would he rape an old lady? It would seem that all his other crimes even the paedophile ones are non violent.
@@-MaryPoppins- Because one of documentary said that it’s so easy for criminals who got of our jail to move around Europe and main destination is Portugal, where they can easily do whatever under radar.
Don't believe he is involved in this
Not do I, but he is serving time for the rape of a 70 year old Irishwoman who lived in the Algarve. It's in his nature.
I hope the Madelene McCann mystery get solved soon. Good and thorough recap...keep us posted....
Will do JW, and we hope so too!
@@TrueCrimeRecaps Would help if you got some of your statements correct though.
This case has haunted me for YEARS. That poor child. Thanks for recapping and updating us!!
Me and my family went on family holidays every year back then. Mostly places like Butlins or Pontins. I remember as a kid they used to have babysitting services which would be a member of staff popping into the chalet to check on you. I remember lying in bed and a woman's head popping round the door.
When I was older, id stay behind while the adults went out to babysit. At the time I resented it. Now I'm grateful I was there.
Now I have children, once they are in bed you stay with them. Sometimes its so tempting to pop out to the shop, you'll only be gone 5mins.. whats the harm. This story keeps me with them.
Thanks for the update. Last I heard not long ago, they had not yet pressed charges. So glad they finally took actions to get this sicko off the streets.
Breuckner is in prison for other offences but he will never be charged with abducting Madeleine because he didn't do it - no-one did!
@@ruthbashford3176He's a monster for sure, but he needs to watch his back.
They might Epstein him.
Epic episode Chris I loved it this kid definitely deserves justice.
Some parents are so dang stupid!!! I was an 18 year old mother when our first child was born and I NEVER left him alone. When are people going to Learn that children need constant supervision on trips, out anywhere, or in cars. Don’t leave your children!!!!
I can't understand why they would leave them alone when the resort offered babysitting arrangements.I could never have left my kids like that especially in a foreign country!
I was not expecting so many doggos to be in this video, they’re such a highlight. All these serious little pupper doggos helping to solve crimes. Good boys/girls
Love and support from Finland!🫶
And love to you Eveliina! Thanks so much!
I can't believe that she would be a young adult now
I can't help but believe that every parent of a missing child regrets doing or not doing something different to change the course of events or end results. As flawed human beings we are quick to judge and fixate on choices we wouldn't have made instead of the heinous actions of predators. This was and remains a nightmare. Thanks for the well covered recap of this story. Very complete and professional.
Well said Debbie. Fed up of holier than thou people, victim blaming the poor parents. They have to live with their choice that night. The real person to blame is this pos x
Oh please don’t believe this crap 💩 John podesta and his brother are involved in this case. Hi Hillary C.
Its common sense that you don't leave your babies alone with no supervision. These are two educated people who had enough money to hire a sitter from the resort. It was neglect and no doubt if it were a couple of lower social status, their other children would have been taken away from them. It's not like this couple didn't know better. It was meeting with their friends was more important than their children's safety.
they were plain neglectful! NO parent would leave their kids alone and not hire a babysitter? they were doctors they could have afforded it.
@@julietteoscaralphanovember2223 bla bla bla
It would be wonderful if they actually solve this case. I still think the parents should be ashamed - what they did was irresponsible and selfish.
They should have been charged with neglect at the very least. Instead they blamed it on 'tradition' that British parents leave their children, and that British parents drug their children to get them to sleep - which is an out and out lie. I am from the UK and the only person that I know that does this is - THE MCCANNS!!!!!
Pretty crazy that they left their kids all alone like that just so they could party.
Why would you assume they don't feel ashamed? Especially when they have said that they are?
@@chellesama8256 Don't always believe a person when they say something! I personally am disgusted that they tried to shift the blame to their culture - that British parents leave their children alone and they also drug their children. This is so far from the truth, and so insulting to British parents. It is against the law to leave a child alone for even a moment in the UK. They also lied to the police, they refused to co-operate, they hired a PR firm, to make sure they looked good..... there is a lot of dodgy things going on with the parents from the very beginning.
@@kenn1936(,an essay, sorry!) if someone says those parents shouldn't feel ashamed look for something 50// 75 metres away. A shopping mall would be good, because now you tell them okay your kids are down there, somewhere. But they can't see them, can't hear them. Can't even see doorways or windows, (*and none of them were locked* !! ) ....the children will be 'checked on'.... maybe... every half an hour...or hourly...or when someone remembers they have kids....and it will be an done by an adult who's been drinking alcohol for hours.
Do they still think leaving the children was safe? If so, don't ask them to babysit your kids!
Even without evil intruders it's all so unsafe, so risky and dangerous. But wait! There's more! The McCanns had options. Free of charge options.
If you can sit through a lengthy 'documentary', just total up the time the McCann children saw their parents on that day, which was a supposedly normal, average day.
The bath and bedtime story, if true, were the most time those children were with a parent. They dropped them at the childcare at about 8:30 am, the childcare people took them to lunch, Mc Canns then collected them about 5:30 iirc, for some kind of scrappy meal, bath etc.
Thank you for a very comprehensive summary of this case. What stuns me most about little Madeleine's parents is that they are still able to practice medicine dealing with members of the public when they clearly did not have the basic mentality, care and compassion to protect their own 3 children instead putting their basic needs first. They should have been charged with neglect and given time to reflect rather than garner over £12.5 million in public funding for the police investigation with a further £300,000 top-up likely to come soon, it has this week been revealed that Gerry and Kate McCann's privately administered fund now has an astonishing net worth of £773,629. Sadly it is highly unlikely any amount of money will bring justice for Madeleine.
Great job, always finding new information we haven’t heard yet. 2 thumbs up 👍👍
Amazing video once again , you are so concise and clear Chris! Love how I can get all the facts whilst getting ready for my day. You and Amy are my favourite! Hope Maddie gets her justice
This dude is sick they constantly keep letting monsters like this out of jail
Love your concise stories. Thanks again for the great videos. 💗💗💗
Thanks Sunny! We so appreciate you!
Sooooooo happy you did this case! Truly one that I continue to think about all of these years later. Thankful the police have continued to work it.
Thanks for the recap, only you can tell such a complex and intriguing case so well with ease
Thank you so much for the update!!! I love True Crime Recaps!! ♥️ Poor Maddie! It breaks my heart 💔
Thanks Sassy! Love your name!😘✨
@@TrueCrimeRecaps thank you! ☺️ I’m addicted to your channel! I’ve sent everyone I know here who appreciates true crime! The best on RUclips! ♥️
I couldn’t jump on the conspiracy bandwagon that her parents killed her. I don’t believe this to be true. However. I can’t help but feel frustration towards them for leaving such small children alone in a foreign country while they mingled with friends at a bar. The general mood here in the Uk after this happened in 2007, was if the parents had been working class folks from a council estate, they’d have had to answer child neglect charges upon their return . I still to this day feel like they got off with at least that much .
Their parents were involved very likely and this is not a conspiracy theory. Why did Kate say "They took her" if she just did not find her daughter? First thing is she would think she ran away through the unlocked door and search her all over the place, but she requested road blocks all over the contry. And the McCanns never shed a tear, they always acted sngry or confused. Parents who lreally ost their child to a predator are devasted, in tears and powerless.
@@Jauly I’ve gone through all those same thoughts . But in the end I genuinely believe they’re guilty as sin for dreadful neglect beyond a shadow of a doubt. I don’t think there’s enough genuine proof that they did something directly to her, but they should have been thrown in jail for what they DID do. They’re lucky the twins weren’t gone as well.
@@alexpd308I am convinced that one of them killed her.
A violent blow, that caused concussion and bleeding.
Why else would they go to such lengths to firstly cover it up, and secondly to safeguard their image?
@@stevefowler3398 I can see why people feel that way. I had my suspicions too. But I’m heavily leaning towards it being a predator that realised they were basically serving their kids up on a platter . They got away with gross negligence at the very least.
All the crimes that I never understood I come here to get a clear and precise recap!!!! Love you guys!!!
This story has always given me the chills. When this story came out my oldest son was a one year old. I couldn’t even fathom this happening or leaving my kids unattended in a resort room while I go out. Checking every thirty minutes is not enough. For being doctors they weren’t too smart to leave their kids. So sad. I hope they catch the monster that did this
This is the craziest story I have ever heard. How can parents leave the children unattended? I think the parents did something to her.
Thanks Chris and Amy. Love you guys.
Thank you Ms C. Your sentiments are echoed here by many.
I’d be doing a bit more research and watching the documentary “The Disappearance of Madeleine McCann” before claiming the parents did something. I was 19 when she went missing, and saw first hand how sensationalist tabloids here in Ireland and in the UK absolutely ruined them in the press. Very cruel.
@@HanaRose22 Oh, gods... you're thinking Maddie's parents had a 'nanny named Zanny'? I can't wrap my head around 'parents' leaving their kids alone while they go party. If we couldn't find a babysitter, we stayed home.✌️😺
Madelines father is in the red shoe club, research Maddy's fathers connections to the likes of Scott morrison (former prime ministers AU). It is a child trafficking network of elite paedophile. Maddy was sold, the podesta brothers were in the small area at the same time. There is even drawings of suspects that are absolutely those to brothers.
Maddy was sold by her family, the main suspect atm was the delivery person. He delivered Maddy to podesta
My parents left me alone all the time. Too stingy to pay for a babysitter! Less money for beer and whores if they did!
There shouldn't be a statue of limitations on child murder
Chris you and Amy are such great people, thank you for being a voice for so many victims who need there stories told!
Like your concise but thorough recap of this case and the hartley case.
I think, true crime recaps, is great, no nonsense and to the point.
How very sad! I don’t see that leaving my kids anywhere by themselves at that young of age, even if I can see them from 84 yards away! Although I don’t think the parents had anything to do with it, they are praying the price for the negligence that they had. I hate that police centered on the parents and did not move outward until it was probably way too late! Another wonderful recap! Take care and many blessings!
Have a wonderful night Amy and Chris.
You as well Jessica! Thanks for chiming in to let us know you are here with us.

@@TrueCrimeRecaps ty! You're very welcome. I love your content.
I am new to your channel and this is the first time I've seen it hosted by a man but also maybe it's the 3rd time I've only seen the show so far. I really like your delivery. There's no drama, none of the other stuff I see on most TC channels. Just straight facts . This is now my favorite channel. Thanks have a great day
This guy just seems like all too convient of a suspect, him getting charged like that last minute dosent help the appearance of things..I think they just found someone to pin it on who's already behind bars and that knowbody realy cares if hes falsely accused..hes likely gotten away with so many haneous acts that one wrong attribution to him dosent seem like a miscarriage of justice
Right! They’re grasping for straws now
Another illiterate.
@@sashamoore9691 I'd hardly call it grasping for straws. He's a violent pedophile living right across the way.
Spot on. Anything to try to distract from her parents. Who have never been able to exclude themselves as suspects.
The poor girl's parents were so careless and negligence by leaving their kids alone without a baby sitter.
You might want to send an email to them every month, just to remind them or maybe you could do a mass email campaign jist incase 15 years ago no one knew that.
12-28-07 I lost my 3 month old and mom when a drunk driver hit them going 85-95mph. I got offered an overtime shift so I had my mom pick my son up from daycare. It was snowing.
Do you know how bad it hurts when people actually blame me for their deaths, especially my son's. Ive been told I chose overtime over my son. Had I just said no, he'd still be alive. If I hadn't asked my mom to pick him up she'd still be alive.
Nothing hurts worse than being blamed and shamed for the death of your child.
@@vixxxenfoxxx3660 , you did nothing wrong or negligent. Trying to earn some extra money to provide for your family is a far cry from leaving a child alone, in a foreign country so that you could eat out. I had a miscarriage and got asked a million questions as to what I did. The guilt and grief at the loss of a child is unbearable. I wish you peace and blessings.
@@vixxxenfoxxx3660 no one is blaming you. i am sorry for your loss. the mccans were neglectful
Gerry Mc Cann was a scot so there's no way he would fork out for a baby sitter.

Thank guys ! Your appreciated fr.Canada
@Vern Sherris hi Vern what was it you trying to say .
@Vern Sherris hi Vern , I’m from Prince Edward Island , eastern Canada ,, and you Vern ?
Very interesting developments!
It still blows my mind that the parents left their young children unattended 🤦♀️
This is so wrong on so many levels.
What’s the point of going out with their “friends” only to get up every ten minutes. The lack of logical thinking by all the parents is absurd. Poor Maddy. I think the parents should at least be charged for neglect. You don’t leave your children unattended to go have dinner with people.
Thanks
I've followed this since the beginning! I have no idea how did this!¡
I’ve always been suspicious of the parents, that dog picking up scents of blood and death in the trunk of their car just seems like something we shouldn’t ignore. It also sounds pretty clearly like that blood belonged to her, but the sample just wasn’t large enough to fully verify that, only that it’s like 80% likely to be hers.
80% narrows the chances of it being hers to literally thousands of people.
Keep in mind that it was a hire car and the dogs were trained cadaver and blood dogs. It’s a stretch but still not beyond reasonable doubt that the car had been used in a previous situation that required the transportation of a body.
Just saying 🤷♂️
Madeline was killed by gerry on the 2nd of May madeline had been dead by the 3rd of May they had 24 hours to get there story staright
I still think the parents are the real culprit
If they were guilty, they wouldn't keep pressuring authorities and media to keep looking for her. They would want the story to die down.
@@priscillayoga4040 they are guilty that's a obvious part they lied many times we're is gerry blue tennis bag???
I had little kids around that time and I can tell you Calpol did NOT have any sedative within in it, it was just child paracetamol and used as a painkiller or fever reducer. Its SO mild you can use it on 3mth olds. FACT.
Nothing is FACT until it's proven to be and your word isn't PROOF.
@@Renee-rw7un Feel free to read the Calpol pack yourself! Millions of parents use it every day as a painkiller and fever reducer so mild it's from 3mths upwards.
Excellent!!
mr and mrs mccann nice peeps...made huge error...have paid price END OFF. GERMAN PINCHED HER.
Until a definitive answer in who did it, the parents should have been charged for reckless endangerment and any other charge for leaving minors unattended...you NEVER leave kids alone...period!!
I will never understand the reason that 2 doctors with plenty of money didn’t want to pay for a babysitter??? smh 🤬😩🤮💩
That's not the reason they left them in the room. Chris tells you the reason in the video.
Check out Peter Hyatt's work on this case as well as Richard D. Hall's. The truth will always prevail. This was clearly an accident both caused and covered up by the parents. Period.
Hi Angie, thank you for the suggestions. We will check em out!
Spot on. There are others with the same conclusion.
And if the McCann parents live to a ripe old age and die without being charged, will the truth have prevailed? If it takes until the heat-death of the universe for the truth to prevail, that doesn't really mean very much.
Also check out Sonia Poulton's take on this case.
The parents opted out of the daycare-type service because they didn't want to leave them with strangers. But they thought no supervision was a better choice? Personally, I still believe there is enough evidence that the parents are responsible for her death. But at the very least they should have faced negligence charges.
It was nothing to do with leaving the children with strangers - after all Maddie and the twins went to daycare during the DAY. The parents did not want to have to collect the children after their night out. The babysitting service was at the DayCare premisses and parents had to go collect their kids and take them back to their individual chalet/apartments. This was too much effort for them, as they wanted to put them to bed and go out, and not have the hassle of collecting tired and crying children after their night out!!!
@@kenn1936 That is so disgustingly lazy! Sadly, it's par for the course in this day and age. I didn't know they had services available. That makes it worse to me.✌️😺
@@kenn1936 the story states the mccans did not want to leave their kids with "strangers"
@@chelseagirl278 Well they could have taken along a babysitter like one of the couples did. Or left their children with the friend's babysitter, but that brings the back to having to collect the kids at night and get them settled down again.
They stated they didn't want to disrupt their sleeping schedule so instead they left them alone while they drank and ate. If this had been a lower income couple this would have been neglect. Imagine if you left your 3 kids under 4 alone while u went to the motel bar to drink until 1 am?
Should never leave kids unattended 🤬
Years ago our neighbors invited us over for dinner and we debated what to do with our two year old twins, but ultimately decided to take them.
At that time our thoughts weren’t about kidnapping but how scared they would be if they woke in the middle of the night as we weren’t there?
The thought of them wandering around in the dark for even five minutes nipped that idea in the butt!
Crazy to do it in a Country like Portugal as well.
Nothing to do with Portugal!
You just don't do it!
Nobody does!
Which is how we all know that they are lieing.
This is one of those cases that is super frustrating. When it sounds like the investigation was somewhat botched from the beginning you lose so much evidence and can easily miss the facts that can put someone away and save a young, beautiful child within hours. From an investigators POV once they heard that so many people we checking and monitoring the kids and the room on a regular basis this wouldn’t sound like she just wondered away. They may have been able to find evidence in that room and possibly set road blocks and bring in the dogs that night/day. It could have been solved and the monster responsible could have been behind bars all these years instead of still being lose on the streets grabbing more kids. So sad for that little girl and her family. 😣😢
But did they really have good technology back then to solve crimes? Let alone in Portugal?
Her parents utterly and completely failed Madeline. They should be locked up for good.
Not sure what you mean by FAIL....
She died in the appartment.
There was no break in!
There was no abduction!
The conclusion MUST be that one of them killed her.
And they both colluded to dispose of the corpse.
That is manslaughter at the very least.
Nothing to do with failing her.
After discovering the terrifying fact that her young child was missing she then leaves both of her other 2 young children alone to go alert her people. No, that does not add up. One would be so freaked that perhaps her child had been taken the very last thing you would do is to leave your remaining children alone.
You never know what you would do in that situation unless you’re in it tbh it sounds like she just wanted to get help immediately.
It’s almost like she knew it was staged, that there was no ‘abduction’, so there was no immediate threat to her other 2 children, isn’t it?
@@lornarettig3215 Yes. If you look into the case it seems to me that the people involved all worked together to get their stories straight as if they were covering their behinds. But they struggled and there remained some inconsistencies in their stories.
@@DiamondGirl333 Conspiracies are extremely difficult to keep secret. It's highly unlikely that your claims are accurate.
@@lizwadsworth9421 Perhaps
I like millions of other parents, can never understand why 3 children were left in a room in a resort while the parents were so far away from the kids! That on its own is warning bells to say WTF? Professional working parents like these 2, you would think, would have more brains to not leave children on their own in such a setting or any place for that matter! What i find strange is how he always grabs his wife's hand every time they were interviewed & how 2 educated people, can't get their story right from the word go? Plus why would they go home so soon after Maddie going missing? I know i couldn't leave a country knowing my daughter could be still be there alive or otherwise. This crime smelt rotten from the very beginning & i pray to God that they do solve it very soon.
They were drunk. That's why they couldn't keep their stories straight.
They legged it as soon as they were given official suspect status. That says it all. If they'd nothing to hide, why leave so quickly? They'd been given a rent free new apartment. Kate only worked 1 day a week. I'm sure their employers would have given them as much leave as they wanted.
@@sarahholland2600 They’re both doctors so technically they only get paid when they’re working. But I get your point. I think they were drunk and couldn’t remember details which is why their stories changed, but that’s my hunch only. It’s sickening regardless as this little girl is either dead or a sex slave.
@@sarahholland2600 because the parents knew the Portuguese police were trying to frame them. The lead detective was taken off the case a few weeks after they were made suspects.
How was this guy out of prison?
I don't understand why they left the doors unlocked. So friends could check on the kids as they check on their own kids? But why not just give them a key?
TBH the little ones sleeping through the search, being moved, ect, doesn't mean anything some kids, and adults, can sleep through almosy anything especially after a busy vacation day full of hard play and sunshine
The parents strange behaviour and neglect is very alarming. Indeed RIP little one
Details in the parents’ story changed over time, however, that is exactly how human “memory” operates (we recreate a memory each time we recall it). If they covered something up, they’d have rehearsed their story so that the details would not have been as subject to change.
The criminal psychology states exactly the opposite. They conclude if your story is changing over the time it's because you are lying. So some things will add up, some things would drop and timing and other minor details would change because it's very hard to remember a detailed lie. But that's not the case when it comes to truth.
But in this case it's possible the parents were so drunk they couldn't remember anything accurately. They've been drinking for 3 hours at that point and they were on vacation, so I'm guessing not a glass of wine
I never understood how parents can leave their children in an unattended room while they go out dining and drinking. This case has always bugged me. And to be honest I think the parents did something to her. IMO. I always have felt this way since I first heard about it. Thanks for the recaps Much love to you both.
Feeling something does not make it so.
@@goncaloamaral7846 That's why I said in my opinion .
@@Nicole_Jewell you’re not an evidence based person. You hope the parents are implicated which is a peculiar hope to have.
@@goncaloamaral7846 Evidence based , what evidence? There is none! And again I say it's my opinion I never said it was facts. Do you know what in my opinion means?
@@Nicole_Jewell I already explained it’s your hope and a very warped hope that you have.
This is the first time I herd this whole story put together ,in a way a person can understand , I herd the story , but not about the things that evil man did to other babies thank you Chris , God Bless you and your family , stay safe .
As far as I know this evil German never harmed children. He did harm adults though.
@@heleneocleary5888 Yes, he was a pedophile
This story has always made me so upset!
She’s such a baby still and was on vacation and no body knows what happened to her or even if she’s still alive! It’s such a overwhelming sadness I feel every time I hear about her story!
I pray she’s found alive but I also know if she is alive she’s been through hell and back by now!
Her family deserves answers no matter how bad they are.
🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽for her and her family! Lord please help her parents find out the truth.
I pray the monster they think that did this still goes to prison and spends his after life being tortured in HELL! He’s a true evil monster!
Same here. I gave my very last £20 to the find madeleine fund. Until recently I couldn't ever watch a doc on her as it was so traumatizing.
I beliwe maddie is in heaven but so many lies in this case...
Even IF she’s still alive and was found, she would be a 20 year old adult who’s gone through a ton of trauma that we don’t know about. She may have a different accent, won’t look the same, possibly been trafficked, and who knows what else. I really hope that this family gets the closure they need.
Thanks Chris. Disturbing case. Of course the parents were suspects the "system" they used to check on their kids was woefully inadequate. This poor girl was transported out of the area and killed by a sicko.
Obviously you don’t know anything about this story. You need to read the book written by the Portuguese investigator that was first assigned to the case. He said the parents behavior was so weird, in fact he said when everyone was out looking for her the first day, they didn’t leave their apartment. What parent would not be running around looking for their child. And she wrote a book, the mother, and Shamelessly wrote about how she couldn’t refuse sex to her husband while her daughter was missing. This is beyond disturbing. We didn’t need to know this garbage.
I don't think the parents harmed her, but I feel they were very negligent in leaving all 3 of their kids unattended. I think a pedophile observed their habit of leaving their kids alone in the evenings when they'd go to Dinner with their friends, and took Maddie. Sadly, I think she was killed shortly after her abduction, and I shudder to think of what that sweet child went thru, if that's the case...it truly breaks my heart. 😢
It seems very possible that the culprit was sitting like three tables away and observed their check-in patterns and pounced when he knew he had a window... no pun intended.
I think you know nothing about this case and perhaps need to face reality, the girl died in that apartment and the parents disposed of her body, it's already been solved by the portuguese detective Amaral, but they have been protected by friends in high places all these years, and unless someone can reignite this investigation and go after them until they break, the truth will never be realised by all.
I can't get passed the cadaver dogs hitting on the parents car trunk and room they stayed in. They can blame the pizza left in the trunk for a few days but we all know the dogs can tell the difference between spoiled pepperoni and a dead child.
For as long as she's been missing I hope they can solve this once and for all. If that guy did it I hope they arrest him and he gets put in jail. The parents need closure. Thanks Chris
He is I need jail in Germany for raping a 72 year old woman.
Please note, not all UK parents give Calpol to sedate children, nor do we leave our children unattended while they go out drinking (no matter how close). When on holiday when my children were tired we went back to the hotel room with them and did not leave them alone.
Why would ANY country have a statue of limitation for murder or child abduction?
Hey Chris and Amy! I’ve been hearing about this case since it happened!! Idk what happened to her. Other than someone took her. The last guy that checked in on the kids last before mom came to find her gone. Well, could he of opened the window(s) and the door to let someone in?? Hmmmm. I’ve never heard anyone say anything like that but could it of happened?? Or someone else left stuff open and more are in on it. It’s just sad. I hope we find her someday and soon.
❤️💜💚
If there is forensic evidence in this current suspect's van, as you suggest, it doesn't automatically prove he abducted Madeline. He might have been involved in some other way - such as being paid to dispose of evidence, or even a body.
There was no forensic evidence in the camper van or anywhere else that connected Breuckner to Madeleine.
Personally I think we’ve been looking at the culprits all along! Her parents!! Dogs found death in the apartment in there car!! It’s the parents ( I use that word loosely)
Exactly. Every time I start to think they might be the unluckiest people on Earth, I think of the cadaver dogs. Oh, and Kate McCann birthing multiple porkies as to why her clothes were covered in the scent of death. Ghastly pair.
Lorna, you certainly have a very dark way of thinking, almost as if you want them to be guilty. Sad
But the handlers admitted that those dogs can also 'hit' on remnants of a dirty nappy! Which was what was in the room AND car boot!
@@bkm2797 Miss me with your McCann simping, BKM. The evidence points to her parents having staged an abduction and having guilty knowledge of her death. I don’t ‘want’ them to be guilty; they have never been able to exclude themselves as suspects and they surely are guilty. That’s on them.
@@lornarettig3215 what's 'simping'? What that detective surmised has little credibility if I'm remembering correctly. The German pedophile has a lot more probability, and we will have to wait for the damning evidence the German police said will prove he took her. The McCains are innocent, there is absolutely nothing negative in their background as in Nada, my heart will continue to be with them through this horrific process, they deserve vindication.
This is so 😔 why would they leave there children unattended this is Crazy .
Thanks for this recap and clarification. They seem to have now found some evidence on the main suspect through the recent Portugal activity. Can't understand Why the parents left the 3 kids like that very negligent / naive?? But what is Also puzzling is i keep thinking of the cadaver dogs...And what they found.. These are brilliant and very credible. Something Else I just noted in your video was the note the parents wrote i had No idea they actually wrote about very young children and checking every 30 mins etc how naive?? Or was there more to this... I wonder...
I can't comprehend how her parents haven't been charge with gross neglect at the least. If they were anything but a wealthy white couple they would be charged with accessory to murder
Stands out a mile you are not a professional, the other trolls will like you though
@@goncaloamaral7846 Stands out a mile you're part of Team McCann. Why don't you give up? Your friends are never going to be charged although they're as guilty as sin! Everyone knows there was no abduction and Kate & Gerry hid her body and made out she'd been abducted.
These parents disgust me ! You do not leave young children alone. They didn't want to be bothered ! So sad. Great recap.
Its a discrace the way these kids were left alone you dont go to a restaurant and leave your kids alone why didnt they bring a baby sitter wit them that would be common sense
I think that the parents were, at least, negligent. Leaving three small kids unwatched, sleeping, vulnerable, in a strange country, with the door opened, and letting others check on them. That's so appalling!
The irresponsibility of all thess parents is incredible, incredible.
Apparently they found tapes in the possession of the suspect. The tapes prove that Maddie is dead. That’s all they said.
I feel that the parents drugged the kids to keep them asleep so they could hang out with friends. Maddie overdosed and that's why the dogs 'hit' on both the room and the trunk. The twins didn't wake up when the cops arrived through all that hullabaloo. Ummm... Why didn't they wake up?
I don't believe they purposely killed that sweet little girl and this was an accident and they panicked.
Very plausible.
That’s my theory too. Somehow she died from the medication. The parents were afraid to be blamed for an accidental death.
The problem is the kids were drug tested and the results showed they were drugged with that specific kind of medicine they brought.
I believe that too. The only question left tho is where the hell they put her body? I mean heck the police searched the whole god damn place for YEARS. No dead body can just vanish even if you drop it in the ocean it can re-appear suddenly. This case is so sad, I still from time to time wonder how Maddie's silblings feel about the world knowing their sister disappeared..
2 things, Calpol is ultra mild paracetamol a pain killer and reducer of fever, and had no sedative in it, I had small kids around that age at the time and its so mild you can use it on 3 mth olds! Plus they are bloody Drs so wouldnt od any kid! In order to OD it would have required many, many bottles of the stuff so thats ridic logic. The dogs hit on decay and the handlers admitted they often 'hit' on dirty nappies which were both in the room and the boot of the car. Fact.
The parents story is bizarre and frankly sounds like bullshit. That poor baby. I hope her little spirit is at peace.
No matter who killed the kid the parents are responsible also...
And responded they have.
Another great recap. I'm very familiar with this case. The Portuguese police butchered the investigation because they had tunnel vision, and only wanted to arrest the parents. Maddie's parents and their friends are all equally terrible to leave their children alone when they could have gotten proper childcare for them. But I don't think Maddie's parents have anything to do with her disappearance. Brueckner seems like a viable suspect. If it was him who took Madeleine, I hope they get him so that her family can finally have answers.
@Jaye R
Here the Police did NOT butchered the parents!
Their behavior led to this mistrust and it still lingers!
What kind of parents (and doctors!) do drugs and prefer to leave their kids alone instead of a nanny? And throughout the investigation do they testify erratically and inconsistently?
@@alexandraferia9397 your parents sound dreadful people that raised you to invent stories about grieving parents doing “drugs”. What kind of low life raised you??
Not all the friends actually did leave kids alone, there were friends who used the night sitting service and one of them was seen carrying his daughter after coming back from using the night sitter service
@@aye70aye no you’re wrong, All the tapas 7 left the children alone. One couple (David and Fiona Payne) had a baby monitor, but they ALL left their children alone. The person seen bringing their child home from the night crèche was Dr Julian Totman who was simply on holiday at the same resort and nothing to do with the tapas 7.
They did not butcher the investigation. In every missing child case, parents becomes the primary suspects. They left their children unattended and didn't even lock the doors. And their testimony changed every single time. There were huge inconsistencies. They even lied about where they were seated at the restaurant. So many lies and it's natural for the police to suspect them. And those cadaver dogs behaviour didn't help either.
I have been watching and hoping for a resolution from the beginning of this story. I pray that monster goes to jail forever and their can be some closure for her parents !
I pray her parents go to jail for being neglectful, self-absorbed parents who have never been able to exclude themselves as suspects and are 100% responsible for her death.

He's serial offender..... Murder?
How horrible, to know he was probably watching the family the whole time- watching the patterns routines, just laying wait to pounce! God bless all the children, so cruelly taken. May they have eternal peace ❤️🌈
The IDIOT parents didn't want to "leave the kids with strangers" so they left their kids ALONE?!? WTF is wrong with people?!? A stranger came anyway...NEVER leave your kids alone!!! Especially that age!!!
Ir definitely sounds like he is the guy.
💯
Usually crimes like this are not super sophisticated. It sounds like Brueckner is a habitual sex offender. It seems more likely that Brueckner may have done it vs. the parents who didn't have any obvious reason to hurt the child. I think the Portuguese police could have done a better job, too.
The parents had no 'obvious reason' to do it? Check your facts. By the way this 'recap' is rather short on facts and long on gossip.
I think we will hear more WAY more on this story, & I think in the end the parents will be involved in the full story? But we have to wait & see.🥺😭
