Madeleine Mccann: The Hunt For The Prime Suspect
ITV, Thursday 23 July, 9pm
In early June, when we’d got used to the news only being about the COVID-19 crisis and pretty much nothing else, a story broke that shed shocking new light on the disappearance of three-year-old Madeleine Mccann from her parents’ holiday apartment in Portugal 13 years ago. Just when it looked like this mystery, which has dominated headlines for years, would remain unsolved forever, German authorities revealed they had a new prime suspect, a convicted sex offender known only as Christian B, who was living near the Mccanns’ apartment at the time. In this one-off doc, Julie Etchingham explores what we know about Christian B, and why it’s taken over a decade for him to be linked to the crime. HHHH Boyd Hilton
