Top cop says story around Madeleine McCann's disappearance doesn't add up, questions the 'open window' theory

The search for Madeleine McCann, who disappeared in May 2007, continues and is set to soon enter its twelfth year.
UPDATED MAR 7, 2019

A former superintendent at the Nottinghamshire Police who was previously involved in the investigation into the 2007 disappearance of Madeleine McCann has ruled out a popular theory which suggests that the abductor carried the girl out from the hotel room's window.

According to the Nottingham Post, former Nottinghamshire officer Peter McLeod appeared on the second episode 'Maddie,' a podcast hosted by Australian journalist Mark Saunokonoko — which explores intricacies of what has been described as "the most heavily reported missing-person case in modern history" — to debunk the possibility Madeleine could have been taken out through the window.
