Madeleine McCann vanished while on holiday in Portugal with her family in May 2007. Her parents, Kate and Gerry, were at one time considered formal suspects by the Portuguese police. More than a decade on, this cold case continues to attract headlines from the world's media and Netflix. Theories about what happened range from an abductor snatching her to someone known to the family being involved in Maddie's disappearance. In 2019, Nine released a true crime podcast investigating the case.
Maddie is a multi-episode investigation of the evidence that could make you question everything you thought you knew about the Madeleine McCann case.
