Breaking news: Tourists at the resort Madeleine McCann went missing were shocked when they saw a skeleton in the bushes next to apartment 5A, DNA results immediately gave the answer to the case after 18 years
The world’s most infamous missing child case has taken a dramatic and chilling turn after tourists at the Ocean Club resort in Praia da Luz, Portugal — the very place where Madeleine McCann vanished in 2007 — made a horrifying discovery just meters from apartment 5A.
According to reports, a group of holidaymakers exploring the grounds near the overgrown garden area stumbled upon what looked like skeletal remains partially buried under thick bushes.
“At first we thought it was an animal… then we saw the small skull and we just froze,” one shocked tourist said.
Portuguese authorities immediately sealed off the site, with forensic teams working through the night to carefully recover the remains. Within hours, DNA testing was carried out under police supervision — and the initial results have stunned investigators.
Sources close to the investigation revealed that the DNA profile matched a key figure linked to the Madeleine McCann case, someone previously dismissed from suspicion nearly 18 years ago.
While officials have not yet released the full identity, insiders confirmed that the discovery could provide the “most significant breakthrough in the McCann investigation since 2007.”
Detectives are now re-examining old witness statements and security records, particularly focusing on individuals who had access to the resort’s garden areas at the time of Madeleine’s disappearance.
A senior investigator was quoted saying:
“This discovery could finally provide the missing piece of the puzzle. After 18 years, we may be closer than ever to knowing the truth about what happened to Madeleine.”
The McCann family has reportedly been notified of the shocking development and are awaiting official confirmation from British police liaisons in Portugal.
Tonight, Britain is left holding its breath, as the question that has haunted the nation for nearly two decades may finally be answered.
