It’s Kate McCann’s turn to check on the children. She is on vacation with her family and some friends at the Ocean Club in Praia da Luz, Portugal.

Her three children are asleep in the apartment they’re staying at, while she’s eating dinner at the resort’s restaurant with her husband and family friends.

Other members of the group have children too, so the adults have formed a system where they each check on all the kids every half hour or so.

It’s close to the restaurant, and Kate and other members of the group have been taking turns checking on the children throughout the evening.

Diners at the restaurant hear a scream, followed by Kate frantically searching for her missing daughter, Madeleine McCann.

At 10:00pm, Madeleine is reported missing.

Resort staff, guests, and the police scour the complex until sunrise, to no avail.
