One of UK’s most notorious child missing cases is approaching its 19th year mark with the toddler yet to be found.

Madeleine McCann was the 3-year-old English girl who went missing during a family vacation in a resort in Portugal and almost two decades later, the case is still a mystery.

A former Metropolitan Police detective has given up any hope for the child’s recovery, who would be in her 20’s now.

Retired Detective Chief Inspector Mike Neville has opened up about the case saying the child’s research should have ended long ago in this digital age.

Speaking to Daily Express, he said “In this day and age, you can't help but be caught in images.”

“So, if you and I were out for a beer, and we have a selfie, we'll catch the people in the background, won't we?”

Mike also questioned the girl’s parents’ neglect and rejection of help offered by him.

Madeleine was sleeping with her siblings in their resort room while her parents had gone out for dinner on the ill-fated night, when they came back, their daughter had vanished.
