Madeleine McCann: Disappeared: Part 2 – Jim Gamble Breaks Down Operation Grange

In Part 2 of Madeleine McCann: Disappeared, True Criminals takes you deeper into one of the most infamous missing persons cases of the 21st century. Hosts Martin Brunt and Helen Fospero speak with Jim Gamble, former head of the Child Exploitation and Online Protection Centre (CEOP) and the architect of the 2010 review that led to Operation Grange—the official UK investigation into Madeleine McCann’s disappearance. In this exclusive interview, Gamble reveals why he never considered Kate and Gerry McCann suspects, highlights the early missteps that compromised the case, and explores the lasting damage caused by media speculation and online misinformation. He also discusses the current investigation into Christian Brueckner, the main suspect, and outlines what still needs to happen to bring the case closer to resolution. Seventeen years on, the disappearance of Madeleine McCann continues to spark global fascination, frustration, and heartbreak. This episode offers rare behind-the-scenes insight from one of the UK’s leading experts in child protection and missing persons cases. For fans of Netflix - The Disappearance of Madeleine McCann, The Missing, and Crime Junkie, this is essential true crime listening. #MadeleineMcCann #OperationGrange #JimGamble #CEOP #TrueCrimePodcast #UKTrueCrime #ChildAbduction #MissingPersons #MartinBrunt #HelenFospero #TrueCriminals #DisappearanceOfMadeleineMcCann #CrimeInvestigation #NetflixDocumentary #UnsolvedMystery ..............................................................
