Was it a male or female that took madeline maccan?

Madeleine McCann was abducted in May 2007 when she was nearly four years old while on vacation with her family in Portugal. The investigation into her disappearance has not definitively identified her abductor, and various suspects have been named over the years, including both males and females. As of now, there is no conclusive evidence pointing to the gender of her abductor. The case remains unsolved.
