Madeleine McCann’s parents ‘distressed’ by new Netflix series

It's nearly 12 years since the toddler disappeared

Madeleine McCann's parents have been left 'distressed' by the newly released Netflix documentary series focusing on the disappearance of their daughter. The Disappearance of Madeleine McCann charts events before and after the three-year-old when missing without a trace from a holiday apartment in the Algarve in 2007. Her parents Kate and Gerry have had no input into the making of the series and, as highlighted in a report by the Telegraph, turned down the opportunity to watch it in advance. The same report also indicates that the couple's legal representatives are expected to carefully examine it for any allegations made about them. In the official trailer for the eight-part series, snippets of quotes detail the case as "the worst things a human being could see" and "statistically likely to be [committed by] someone with close proximity to the child" while one person notes that "one shocking element was the sheer number of sexual predators in the area at the time". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tBnarCTOiCY Police were given another £150,000 to continue their investigations in November with Operation Grange so far costing around £12 million. The Disappearance of Madeleine McCann was released on Netflix on March 15.
