this nauseating rumor to which the girl’s father had to respond

Regarding the case of disappearance of little Maddie McCann, rumors, there were many. But this one is particularly nauseating. And for good reason, the father of the little girl who disappeared on May 3, 2007 in Praia da Luz in Portugal, when she was only 4 years old and was on vacation with the family, had to face terrible words that accused of not not be the real father from Maddie. Indeed, Gerry McCann was forced to issue an official statement insisting that Madeleine McCann is indeed his natural daughter. The cardiologist, at the time, had thus responded to his attacks in order to counter “the lies and the absolute fabrication” from the Portuguese press. According to 24 HoursMaddie McCann, who was conceived through IVF, is believed to be the daughter of his wife, Kate McCann, and a anonymous sperm donor. The newspaper had notably affirmed that the parentage of the four-year-old girl was not proven because his DNA could not be confused with that of his brother and sister, the twins Sean and Amelie.

The sperm donor story was firmly dismissed as “unwarranted speculationunfounded and totally inaccurateby family spokesman Clarence Mitchell. In an intense statement agreed to by the couple and their attorneys, it was said: “For the record, Gerry McCann is her daughter’s biological father Magdalene. An article published in the newspaper 24 Horas suggesting the contrary is nothing less than lies. It is indeed an absolute fabrication“.

The death thesis

In a book published just after his dismissal in July 2008, the former head of the Portuguese police investigation assures that Madeleine McCann reportedly dead in an accident in his hotel room and that his parents staged his disappearance to cover up this tragedy. As pointed out by the Huffington Postthe policeman was sued for defamation by Gerry and Kate McCann, Maddie’s parents. He was sentenced in 2015 to pay 500,000 euros in damages to the couple, then finally acquitted on appeal in 2017. Still according to the Huffington Postin 2020, this time it was the German investigators who assured that they had “evidence“that Madeleine McCann would be dead.”These are evidence or hard facts available to us, and not mere indications“, said a spokesperson for the public prosecutor’s office in Brunswick, Germany, while specifying that it is not a question of “forensic evidence (such as the body)“. Nearly 16 years later, the girl’s disappearance is still causing a stir.
