Exclusive news on clues in Madeleine McCann case: Satellite images from May 2007 revealed, a car left the resort at the exact time she went missing — police reveal the identity of the car owner, shocking her parents
Eighteen years after the disappearance of Madeleine McCann, investigators have uncovered a new and shocking lead — thanks to satellite images that were overlooked for nearly two decades.
According to exclusive police sources, recently re-examined satellite footage from May 3, 2007 shows a single vehicle leaving the Ocean Club resort area at the precise time Madeleine was last seen.
“It was a small car, headlights dimmed, moving away from the complex just minutes after the window of opportunity in which she vanished,” one insider revealed.
Authorities have now traced the car’s registration to an individual whose name has never before been linked to the case. The revelation reportedly left Kate and Gerry McCann in shock when police briefed them earlier this week.
While investigators have not made the identity public, senior officers confirmed that the registered owner was someone close enough to the family to know their movements on the night in question.
The discovery has raised urgent new questions: Was this person secretly watching the McCanns? Why did they leave at such a critical time? And how did this crucial evidence remain buried for so long?
Forensic teams are now pressing to locate the vehicle, believed to have changed hands several times since 2007. Police have also requested that international agencies re-analyze traffic and satellite data from the surrounding area.
Families of missing children across Britain are calling the new lead “a glimmer of hope” that the case may finally be cracked.
As one source close to the investigation put it: “If this car is the missing piece, then someone has been hiding in plain sight for 18 years.”
