A second woman has come forward to claim that she is the missing Madeleine McCann, almost eighteen years since the child’s disappearance.
Second woman steps forward
Often regarded as the biggest missing-persons case in modern history, McCann’s vanishing from a hotel resort in Lagos, Portugal garnered worldwide attention in 2007. Near-on two decades later the case remains unsolved, though interest has never wained.
Then just three years old, Madeleine disappeared while on a family holiday. Despite a number of high profile searches, authorities have never been able to definitively say what happened to her.
The overriding theory is that the girl was abducted, with some clinging to hope that she may yet be alive today. Over the years, several young women have stepped forward to claim that they are the missing Madeleine, with one woman in particular, Polish-born Julia Wandelt, attracting attention in recent years.
