The World Responds - The Disappearance of Madeleine McCann

In May 2007, Madeleine McCann vanished — and within days, the world did something it had never done for a missing child. A 24-hour media camp outside the family's villa. A standalone "Madeleine" tab on Sky News. Fifty-eight million website hits in two days. Prime ministers, popes, and football stars weighing in.

In this episode, we break down how the McCanns turned grief into one of the most effective missing-person campaigns ever built: a fund that raised millions, posters in twenty-eight languages, balloons released in fifty countries on the fiftieth day — and the political machine that lent them a government spokesman.

But the same spotlight that kept Madeleine's face in the headlines also carried a shadow. From a Berlin press conference where a journalist asked the unaskable, to the Portuguese tabloids running a very different story, the counter-narrative was already growing.
