Madeleine McCann investigation may come to an end later this year after more than a decade

The investigation into the disappearance of Madeleine McCann could soon come to a close after more than 11 years of searching. Madeleine went missing from her family's holiday apartment in 2007 when she was just three.

But Operation Grange, the inquiry into her disappearance, which launched four years after she went missing, could be closed later this year, according to The Sun.

A source told The Sun newspaper that funding for Operation Grange is due to end later this year. The source said: “There are currently no plans to take the inquiry any further. The end of the road for Operation Grange is now in sight. The team’s work is expected to be completed by autumn.”
