Despite Madeleine McCann disappearing in Portugal in 2007 at just age 3, parents Kate and Gerry McCann understandably cling onto any inkling of hope that she may still be out there alive.
Their firstborn vanished from their holiday apartment in Pria Da Luz on May 3, 2007.
They were dining at a nearby restaurant with three other couples and at 10pm discovered that their daughter was no longer there, The Mirror reported.
