18 Years Missing: Madeleine Mccann’s Family Releases Poignant Note As Her 22nd Birthday Nears

On the 18th anniversary of Madeleine McCann’s abduction, her parents, Kate and Gerry McCann, shared an emotional message on their official “Find Madeleine” Facebook page. Reflecting on the years since her disappearance in Portugal on May 3, 2007, they thanked supporters for their unwavering dedication. They also honored Madeleine’s upcoming 22nd birthday and expressed their ongoing commitment to finding her.


Their letter included a tribute to all missing children, particularly those displaced by war in Ukraine and Gaza, and acknowledged the work of charities like “Missing People.” The McCanns reaffirmed their determination to leave no stone unturned in their search for Madeleine. They also planned to attend a prayer vigil in their hometown of Rothley.

Despite no new significant leads, the McCanns continue their search for answers, with German authorities identifying convicted rapist Christian Brückner as the main suspect. However, he has not been charged. The anniversary comes alongside the troubling news of a woman, Julia Wandel, who falsely claimed to be Madeleine, prompting increased police attention at the upcoming vigil.
