On the night of May 3, 2007, Kate and Gerry McCann left their three kids in bed when they went out to dinner. They were on vacation in the Portuguese coastal town of Praia da Luz with a group of friends and had established a nightly routine: while their children slept in the rented apartments, the adults would have dinner at a tapas restaurant inside the resort, 180 feet away.
The adults took turns checking up on the children every 30 or so minutes. But when Kate went into her children's room around 10 p.m., she found Madeleine's blanket and favorite stuffed animal in the spot on her bed where her daughter should have been — with Madeleine nowhere to be found.
The Disappearance of Madeleine McCann is available to stream on Netflix.
