Madeleine McCann case: The child, known as Maddie, went missing during a family vacation in Portugal in 2007 and her body has never been found despite several investigations.
The parents of Madeleine McCann, a three-year-old British girl whose disappearance sparked horror 15 years ago, have lost their privacy case at Europe's top rights court against a Portuguese police inspector.
The child, known as Maddie, went missing during a family vacation in Portugal in 2007 and her body has never been found despite several investigations, which led last year to a convicted sex offender in Germany.
Police initially suspected that Maddie might have died accidentally and that her parents, Gerald McCann and Kate Healy, hid the body and staged an abduction.
In 2008, those claims were reiterated in a book by the Portuguese police inspector who initially led the case, Goncalo Amaral, prompting the parents to sue for libel.
