McCanns' Interrogation Dramatized in New Docudrama

On May 1st, a new DACU drama on Channel 5 called Suspect, the McCann's dives into Kate McCann's

intense interrogation by Portuguese police back in.

The Madeline case, Madeline banished at three years old from the family's holiday spot

in Portugal's Algarve back in May 2007, while her parents dined nearby.

She'd be 22 now, but the search drags on.

The 90-minute special, airing later this year, stars killing Eve Actress, Laura based

in as Kate, and spotlights that grilling two months after the disappearance in July 2007.

Kate faced 11 hours of questions before cops named her and husband Jerry, formal suspects,

or Arguida status, which got lifted a year later.

Public opinion flipped hard against the McCann's after leaks of shaky evidence hit the press,

turning a parent's worst nightmare into a fight for their freedom.

The show pulls from real police files and testimony to unpack those tense 48 hours that nearly

derailed the whole hunt.

Fast forward, UK cops just got 86,000 pounds for next year's probe, down from 108,000,

with the total bill hitting 13.3 million since 2011.

Prime suspect Christian Bruchner, a convicted rapist, walked free last September without

charges tied to Madeline.

Meanwhile, a Polish woman who claimed to be the missing girl got hit with a six-month

sentence for harassing the McCanns, though cleared of stalking.

The family hopes for real tips to keep the search alive.
