In May 2007 a three‑year‑old vanished from a holiday apartment on Portugal’s Algarve coast, sparking an international missing‑child hunt. The episode examines the initial police response, crime‑scene contamination, forensic findings—including an inconclusive male DNA sample—and the flood of tips and media pressure that shaped the investigation. It also covers later efforts such as Operation Grange, advanced DNA analysis, suspect leads, and the broader lessons for cross‑border cooperation and evidence handling.
