'The Disappearance of Madeleine McCann,' the eight-part documentary on Netflix which chronicles the 2007 disappearance of Madeleine McCann and the investigation since, has claimed that Portuguese detectives believed the girl's parents, Kate and Gerry, had killed Madeleine with an overdose of Calpol.

Madeleine disappeared on the evening of May 3, 2007, from her bed in a holiday apartment in Praia da Luz, a resort in the Algarve region of Portugal. She had been left there with her twin siblings by her parents, who had gone out for dinner, and there is still little clue to her whereabouts almost 12 years later.
