How old would Madeleine McCann be now and what would she look like?
MADELEINE MCCANN disappeared in 2007 sparking one of the biggest missing person hunts in modern history.
The daughter of Kate and Gerry McCann vanished when she was just three years old and has never been found - though her family have vowed they are "never going to give up" the search for her.
How old would Madeleine McCann be now?
As of February 2024 Madeleine McCann would be 20 years old.
She was born May 12, 2003, and went missing just nine days before her fourth birthday.
Madeleine's parents regularly give updates on the website FindMadeleine.com about the latest in the search for their daughter.
They gave an update on Madeleine's 20th birthday on May 12, 2023.
The message read: "Happy birthday Madeleine! We love you and we're waiting for you.
"We're never going to give up."
The couple, who also share twins Sean and Amelie, posted a photo of Madeleine that was taken on the Portugal holiday Madeleine vanished from alongside the birthday message.
They captioned the picture: "She's still missing, still missed and we are never going to give up trying to find her."
What would Madeleine McCann look like now?
Police released an image of what Madeleine would look like at the age of nine back in 2012.
The image showed the young girl's face aged about six years from previous photographs and featured her distinctive right eye.
Madeleine has a black smudge in her eye known as coloboma.
It is a rare condition people are born with which happens when part of the tissue that makes up the eye is missing.
Ex-NHS worker Simone Malik then drew up a sketch of what she believed Madeleine would look like at 18 years old in 2021.
At the time, Malik shared her hopes that her picture would help in the search for Madeleine.
She explained how she put the sketch together saying: "I know as a super recogniser that is her face, that's her nose."
Malik added: "Usually, children are like their mother or their father, or a bit of both, but neither does her mother or father have the wide nose and square tip.
"I decided to do a bit more digging, and as I did some digging, I found a very interesting fact: somebody with exactly that nose in her family.
"And it's actually Philomena McCann who is Gerry McCann's sister."
What age was Madeleine McCann when she disappeared?
Madeleine was three years old when she went missing from her family's holiday flat in Portugal in 2007.
Her parents had left her sleeping with her siblings while they had dinner at a nearby restaurant and realised at about 10pm that she was gone.
The couple have since devoted their lives to finding the little girl.
Extensive searches for Madeleine have been carried out by both UK and Portuguese police and more than £13 million has been poured into the investigation into her disappearance.
Could Madeleine McCann still be alive?
No conclusive proof has been found that Madeleine is either dead or alive despite the huge investigations into her whereabouts.
Police launched a new search for her body in May 2023 - the first major operation of its kind in nine years.
German cops had named Christian Brueckner as the prime suspect in Madeleine's disappearance in 2022 and began searching a remote Algarve reservoir he is believed to have visited the following year.
The area is approximately a 45-minute drive from the Ocean Club holiday resort of Praia da Luz where Madeleine disappeared from.
Brueckner is serving a prison sentence for the rape of a 72-year-old woman in 2005 and is believed to have a total of 17 convictions against him, including burglary.
The German-born predator appeared in court in February 2024 as he faced claims that he raped three women and twice sexually molested children in Portugal.
He has denied any involvement in Madeleine's disappearance and it is not known what police uncovered during their search of the Algarve reservoir.
