Madeleine McCann may have fallen down a storm drain after leaving Portuguese resort, new documentary claims
Netflix documentary 'The Disappearance of Madeleine McCann' has claimed that the three-year-old could have fallen down a storm drain after sh was reported missing from her Portugal apartment in 2007.
Before police mined sinister alternatives such as abduction and murder, those involved early on in the case considered the theory to be a highly likely possibility.
Authorities left no stone unturned back in 2014, opening manholes and combing stormwater drains in the region's underground sewage system to look for remains of the toddler, The Sun reports.
On May 3, 2007, Maddie was on holiday with her parents and family friends at a resort in Praia da Luz, when she unexpectedly disappeared from her bed. Gerry and Kate McCann, her parents, were having dinner at the hotel's restaurant at the time and had left her sleeping with her siblings. They realized that she was missing at about 10 pm.
