How Madeleine McCann's Parents Became Suspects in Her Disappearance
The one-off 90-minute drama uses real transcripts from the investigation as police turn their attention to Kate McCann three months after Madeleine vanished.
- Channel 5 debuts the 90-minute factual drama "Under Suspicion: Kate McCann" this evening, Wednesday, May 20, at 9pm, exploring the interrogation of Kate McCann based on real transcripts from three months after her daughter's 2007 disappearance.
- Three months after Madeleine McCann vanished from Praia da Luz, Portugal, in 2007, Portuguese police named her parents, Kate and Gerry McCann, as suspects, triggering intense questioning that the drama now dramatizes.
- Actress Laura Bayston portrays McCann, who endured 11 hours of interrogation. Bayston told Channel 5 the role was "truly horrific and an absolute punch in the guts to film" when depicting McCann answering "no comment" on her lawyer's advice.
- The teaser depicts officers giving McCann "48 hours to prove her innocence" after a "shift in the investigation." This dramatization revisits the intense public and police scrutiny the family faced as investigators initially pursued theories of parental involvement.
- Nearly 19 years after the disappearance, McCann and her husband continue to live in Leicestershire, while German authorities now identify Christian Brückner as the prime suspect in the 2007 abduction.
