Marc cleared his throat and started recounting his finding of Madeline York.
"Madeline York went missing when she was 4 years old. Her family went on a vacation to Salamanca in Spain and she was kidnapped from the villa they were staying in."
"Her family was looking for her for fifteen years. They hired so many private investigators and provided a reward for anyone who can give any clues that would lead to her being found."
"They worked with Interpol, the anti child-traficking agencies, they spoke to many news outlets to beg anyone who saw or kept their daughter to return her to them. For over fifteen years, nothing happened but they never gave up."
Loriel held his breath when he heard Marc's explanation. This sounded logical. Maybe, the York family thought Elise was their missing daughter when they found her and decided to take her in.
"How did they find her?" Finally, he asked the question.
Yes, this just confirms it. Madeline is Elise.
PS: This part of the story is inspired by Madeleine McCann's disappearance. I feel so sorry for the family and I still hope that someday they will find Madeleine.
PPS: If you didn't know, Madeleine McCann is the most searched missing person in the world in the past 14 years. She disappeared in 2007 and as of the publication of this chapter hasn't been found. She should be 17 this year.
