The McCann family went on vacation, along with seven other adults and their children to Praia De Luz, Portugal. The resort in which they were staying at was described as a "boring concrete jungle infested with snobbish locals".
The families all stayed in the same apartment complex. It was a three story building with the McCann staying in the ground floor room, 5A. Madeleine slept in the bed nearest to the window while her two year old twin siblings slept in travelling cots.
In May 3, 2007 at approximately 8.30pm Madeleine and her younger siblings were put to bed. The adults left their children in the hotel and went to the resort's tapas bar 155 feet from the hotel. It was so close that every so often the adults would take turns checking on the kids.
At 9.05pm, Gerry McCann checked on the children. He noticed the door had been open wider than it had been when he left. At 9.15pm, a friend of the McCann's Matthew Oldfield checked the McCann apartment and saw the twins sleeping but didn't remember if he saw Madeline.

Madeleine's bed was next to the cottage where the twins were sleeping so there's no way he could have seen the twins without seeing her.
Also at 9.15pm, a McCann friend named Jane Turner went to check on her children and noticed a man walking with a child in his arms. At 10.00pm, an Irish family vacationing in the resort saw a man carrying a child in the beach.
Also at 10.00pm, Kate McCann went to check on her children. Madeleine was no longer in bed. Kate ran back to the tapas bar, leaving her twins in their cots and yelled "THEY'VE TAKEN MADELEINE".
There's been a very theories regarding this situation: An intruder, a driver, murdered and sold.
The first theory an intruder, Kate McCann said when she arrived at the apartment at 10pm she knew a crime had been committed because Madeleine was put to sleep with her favourite stuffed animal named Cuddlecat which had been moved out of Madeleine's reach.
She didn't think Madeleine had just wandered off without her favourite stuffed animal so she believed it was an abduction. Burglaries and robberies had increased in the area a month prior to their visit to the resort.
It was suspected that a burglar came in through the patio door in which the parents had used to check on the kids and where Madeleine was sleeping nearest to. The burglar came in to rob the place and Madeleine woke up so he took her and the man on the beach was a suspect.
It's also suspected that Madeleine may have been abducted by a gang of pedophiles. A couple years prior to her disappearance, a 10 year old girl was sexually assaulted by a pedophile gang in the same apartment complex the McCanns were staying in.
On top of that, the day prior to Madeleine's disappearance two men were seen around the resort pretending to be charity workers and going door to door to get guests to donate. They were spotted many times at the day of the disappearance between 3.30pm and 5.30pm.

Finally it's been speculated that two blonde man abducted Madeleine as there was seen at the resort and spoke in Dutch. They were staying in the room above the McCanns and were believed to be looking for a child to give to a wealthy family.
The man on the beach would have been the biggest clue. If he did take her, there could have been a fishing boat or a privately owned boat he took her onto and would have been the last anyone would have seen of Madeleine.
The second theory a driver, it was suggested that Madeleine woke up and went to find her parents. She wondered out the patio door and into the streets of the resorts there she was struck and possible abducted but her prints would have been spotted or the one of the adults would have seen her.
The third theory is murder, it was believed that Madeleine was murdered by her own parents. Firstly her Mon said they took Madeline almost like she knew something and the McCanns weren't searching for Madeleine.
They searched the apartment, tapas bar and beach and went to sleep. They didn't search until 6 the next morning. Kate reported Madeleine missing around 10pm but refused to answer the questions of authorities and was told she was damaging the case.
Kate and Gerry McCann tried suing the detective in charge of their daughter's case. The police decided to recreate the crime scene and the parents of Madeleine didn't attend despite being asked to.
Gerry claimed he didn't leave the tapas bar for 5 minutes but a friend of his claimed Kate was moaning about him being gone for a long time for a football game making his alibi weak. The Irish family which spotted a man at the beach were 80% certain that it was Gerry.
The McCanns also lied to their friends at home in the UK. They told them the window was shattered and Madeleine was taken through the window but the lawyer reported no such thing.
A couple days after the disappearance, a friend of the McCanns told the police that she witnessed Gerry and David Payne talk very sexually and make sexual gestures about Madeleine.
The day after the disappearance, an England CPS employee named Yvonne Martin offered Kate her services. Kate said Madeleine was kidnapped by a couple despite there being no evidence.
Yvonne was present at the resort as she was vacationing. She was speaking to the family when David Payne whispered in Gerry's war and to her surprise her services were no longer needed and she filed a report to have the family investigated.
She claimed that David was wearing the same clothes as the man from the beach. A fund of donations was set up to help find Madeleine and the family used it to pay their mortgage.
On May 29th, weeks after Madeleine's disappearance her parents left their other two children in the apartment where she was kidnapped with a nanny as they traveled to Europe for a tour.
During that tour, Kate described Madeleine in the past tense almost as if she's dead despite there being no evidence and kept her favourite doll as it contained her scent.
17 days before police brought canines to the crime scene. Kate washed the doll further destroying evidence that could lead them to the culprit and tarnished her alibi.
The police had one dog which detected blood on Madeline's toys, behind the apartment couch, the patio door, the wardrobe, the rental car key and the car itself.

The cadaver found the scent of death in the wardrobe, the patio, behind the couch, the steps leading down the patio, the bedroom, the back garden, two pieces of Kate's clothing and one of Madeleine's T-shirt and even the doll.
And out of every car in the parking garage, the dogs only alerted one which was the McCann's rental car. They found a scent of blood and death on the trunk.
There's a theory that Madeleine was a pawn to her parents for trafficking. In her mother's book she talks about her genitals. In a deleted video, her father is her twirl and do all kinds of stuff saying Ahh yes and smile for daddy.
Her parents were told not to share photos of her daughter to the media as it will show her eye deformity therefore scary the kidnappers to kill her. Gerry was caught saying this would be a good marketing ploy.
A famous chef named Sir Clement Freud lived close to the resort. It wouldn't be a big deal if he wasn't a pedophile. Two months after Madeleine's disappearance, her parents were invited to his house and were invited again but couldn't attend as they were suspects.
Sum it up: her parents are believed to be prime suspects in her disappearance out of all the goons that surrounded that resort. It was theorized that they planned her disappearance and her possible death wasn't part of the plan.
