This episode brings you up-to-date on the latest information about the disappearance of Madeleine McCann. In 2011, Operation Grange was instituted by Scotland Yard to help solve the disappearance of Madeleine McCann. They translated and reviewed more than 100,000 documents associated with the case. At that point, they held out hope that Madeleine was still alive The McCanns also believed and have always held out that she is alive. They pinned their hope on cases like Jaycee Dugard, an 11 year-old who was abducted by a pedophile, Phillip Garrido and his wife. She escaped 18 years later after having been held in a backyard shed and having given birth to 2 children. The other famous case that gave the McCanns hope was the Elizabeth Smart abduction by a pedophile, David Mitchell and his wife. Elizabeth was found and released 9 months after her capture. These 2 girls who returned home alive gave the McCanns hope. The astonishing element of this case is the amount of money that has been spent. To date, almost $20 million has gone toward the Madeleine McCann investigation. This has raised resentment from many parents who have not benefited from this same treatment. Over the years, there have been many leads that all ended up as false. Currently, there are a couple of live leads that the police are actively following. One is Martin Ney, a German pedophile who is currently in jail for the murder of 3 prepubescent boys. He appears to match sketches of the abductor seen by the Martin family and Jane Tanner. Another person associated with Ney is also a person of interest. Both are suspected to be part of a pedophile sex ring. Currently, the McCanns have entered a legal action with the Court of Human Rights in France to overturn a decision in favor of Goncalo Amaral, the Portuguese inspector who wrote a scathing book accusing the McCanns of being involved in the coverup of their daughter's accidental death. As of March of 2020, there are still dozens of active leads in the case, although no one has been charged in the case. It is still an open case
