Overview

  • The 18th anniversary vigil for Madeleine McCann will take place at 7pm on May 3, 2025, at the Rothley war memorial, with police providing security for her parents.
  • The McCanns skipped last year's vigil after Julia Wandel, one of two women accused of stalking the family, allegedly turned up uninvited at their home.
  • Wandel and Karen Spragg, both facing stalking charges, are set to stand trial in October 2025, with Kate and Gerry McCann expected to testify.
  • Madeleine’s parents shared a heartfelt message on the Find Madeleine Campaign Facebook page, reaffirming their commitment to ‘leave no stone unturned’ in their search.
  • Christian Brueckner, named as the prime suspect in Madeleine's disappearance in 2020, denies involvement and is due for release from prison in September 2025.
