How old would Madeleine McCann be now?

Madeleine McCann was born May 12, 2003, meaning she went missing when she was three-years-old, a little more than a week out from her fourth birthday.

Since her disappearance from the Ocean Club apartment, a former top cop has warned that security at the resort where the little girl went missing is still an issue.
Authorities are also hopeful that social media could help find Maddie, using her distinctive eyes to examine photographs on Facebook.

Parents Kate and Gerry released a heartbreaking Facebook message to missing daughter Madeleine on her 14th birthday in May, 2017.

They wrote alongside a touching photo of her as a three-year-old: “Happy 14th Birthday, Madeleine! We love you and we’re waiting for you and we’re never going to give up.”

Gifts and cards will be placed in Maddie’s pretty pink bedroom with starred ceiling which has become a shrine to her and remains unchanged since she vanished during a family holiday in Portugal in May 2007.

They will be among presents stacked up from ten years of birthdays and Christmases – occasions which Kate describes as difficult times because “that’s when you really feel her absence.”

They will pray for her on her birthday, and their 12-year-old twins Sean and Amelie will blow out candles on their big sister’s cake.

What age was she when she disappeared?

The young girl went missing on May 3, 2007, while on vacation with her family in Portugal.

Her parents, Gerry and Kate McCann, had left her sleeping with her siblings while they had dinner at the hotel’s restaurant – only realising about 10pm that she was gone.

The couple have since devoted their lives to finding the little girl – now left with the little girl’s “Cuddle Cat” as one of the last reminders of Maddie.

More than £11million has been poured into the search for her since with extra aid coming in to help find Maddie, who would now be a teenager.

What would she look like now?

Police released an image of what Madeleine McCann would look like at the age of nine.

With her distinctive right eye, the image shows the young girl’s face aged about six years from previous photographs.

Kate still spends precious moments each day in Madeleine’s bedroom which she reveals has “shocking pink walls and stars on the ceiling” and where her dolls and teddies are on display, along with a growing number of presents.

The mum said she could never ignore Madeleine’s birthday and the family “still celebrates her being part of our lives”.

She also told how in her mind’s eye how she jumps from seeing her eldest child as she was when she was kidnapped to envisaging her as she would be now.

Maddie had been due to attend De Lisle College in neighbouring Loughborough and the school is still holding a place for her.
