It’s been more than 10 years since the disappearance of 3-year-old Madeleine McCann and the world is still baffled. The UK toddler vanished from her family’s hotel room while on vacation in Portugal, and her loved ones have been searching for answers ever since.

The case led to a global manhunt, which is still an ongoing investigation that has cost £11.6 million total.  Media fallout and initial suspicion from local police on the case led to a backlash against the McCanns, who were cleared of “arguido” (aka suspect) about a year after Madeleine’s disappearance, according to the Telegraph. That didn’t stop UK press from painting the couple as negligent at best and criminal at worst.

New information has trickled in as late as 2017. Though it’s known as one of the most heavily reported missing-person cases in modern history, Madeleine McCann: An ID Murder Mystery will offer new perspectives on a story that continues to baffle law enforcement in at least two different countries.

The two-part mini-series features exclusive interviews from members of law enforcement, the family’s legal team, and some of the journalists who’ve covered this unusual case from the beginning.
