Fresh controversy has reignited in the Madeleine McCann case after reports surfaced suggesting that Gonçalo Amaral’s long-debated theory may hold weight. Amaral, the former Portuguese detective who led the original investigation, has long claimed that the timeline of the McCanns’ checks on their children the night Madeleine vanished may not be accurate.
According to sources, recently re-examined witness statements and digital data have cast doubt on whether all of the reported checks actually happened as described. Investigators are said to be reviewing this new information carefully, though no official conclusions have been released.
Supporters of the McCann family insist they were diligent and followed a strict checking routine, while critics argue that inconsistencies in testimonies raise serious questions.
Could this development finally shift the direction of the case — or is it simply another round of speculation in a mystery that has haunted the public for nearly two decades?
Authorities have not confirmed whether these findings will lead to new interviews or a re-opening of certain parts of the investigation.
