On the evening of May 3, 2007, three-year-old Madeleine McCann vanished from her family’s holiday apartment in Praia da Luz, a resort town in Portugal’s Algarve region. Madeleine, along with her younger twin siblings, had been left sleeping in the apartment while her parents, Kate and Gerry McCann, dined with friends at a nearby tapas restaurant. The McCanns took turns checking on the children throughout the evening, but when Kate returned around 10 pm, she discovered Madeleine was missing. The initial investigation by the Portuguese police faced criticism for alleged mishandling of evidence and lack of swift action.

Deciding on which zodiac signs are the most dangerous is not an easy task as there could be many ways of determining what is considered dangerous. Dangerous of course could be a very subjective idea. Your own sign could also weigh heavily in making this list as certain signs, as we know, tend to be more compatible with some than others. So, what am I going to make these predictions based on?
