Madeleine disappeared in May 2007 while vacationing with her family in Portugal, sparking an international search and ongoing legal battles. Her parents,

Kate and Gerry McCann, recently marked 17 years since her disappearance, expressing their continued hope for answers. Meanwhile, a former prison cellmate has testified that Brückner once boasted about abducting a child in Portugal, though his lawyer has dismissed these claims as contradictory.
