Summary

While on holiday with her parents, British 3 year old Madeline McCann disappeared from her bedroom on the night of may 3rd, 2007. The search that ensued has been noted as one of the largest ever, and 8 years later, answers are still as illusive as ever. Was Madeline abducted? Was there an accident? Was her body found in 2013? Is she still alive? These questions have plagued every empathetic soul for years, and will likely continue to do so for years to come.

Hey guys, welcome to another super exciting episode of Thinking Sideways, the podcast.

0:27.8

I'm Devon joined as always by Joe and Steve and we're going to tackle another unsolved mystery.

0:35.8

Cool. Super unhappy about it. Yeah. And I'm just saying I'm apologizing in advance.

0:40.9

You know, there's been a whole lot of talk about John Bonet Ramsey. That's how you say that right.

0:44.7

Yeah. John Bonet, John Bonet. I think it's been a John Bonet Ramsey lately.

0:49.8

And I think it's mostly because of that AMA that happened.

0:53.6

But we're not ready to tackle that one if ever. I mean, probably we will at some point.

0:58.1

But it's huge and we want to, you know, get some experts and do really do it right.

1:04.1

More, more a la Jeff Davis eight sort of situation. But instead, I will bring you something equally tragic.

1:12.6

Yay. Well, not. That is honestly, I think a little more interesting than the John Bonet Ramsey mystery.

1:20.1

It is a strange little tale. It's strange. It's really strange. We're going to talk about the

1:24.6

disappearance of Mal and McCann and a few points of order before I start. One is that this is one of

1:29.9

those stories that Steve hates that deals with missing little kids. So if that's not your cup of tea,

1:34.6

cup of tea, this is one to skip. So I can skip this. No, you cannot. Oh, come on. I don't want to help.

1:44.6

Nope. You got it. This is part of the deal, Steve. Fine. We do the ones I don't want to do.

1:50.4

Fine. I'll help, but I'm not going to like it. Yeah. I know you won't. It's okay. We've got to solve

1:54.9

this one, guys. Yeah. Let me just take it to family. Also, this was a recommendation from Yo-Hon, right?

2:02.6

Yo-Hon, right? Yeah. Well, I think last year, late last year, I called dibs on it. I'm sorry.

2:07.8

It's taken me so long. Sorry. Thanks, Yo-Hon. Okay. You guys ready? Sure. Sadly.

2:14.2

Steve is not. No. Cool. Sorry. Madeline McCann was born in May of 2003 to Kate and Jerry McCann.
