Once you've got shot of the bot just keep minimising down on screen with your fingers and you'll get to Africa!  Then find your way to Portugal/PDL.

I'm not sure what this means. Is it saying that the Luz phone masts covered quite a significant area?

In 30 minutes, according to the Microsoft AutoRoute software, at an average of 70km/h, it is possible to make a round-trip journey between the village of Luz and the localities of: Raposeira, if travelling West; Bensafrim, if travelling North, and Odi?ere if going East.

That movement would have produced records only in the antennae that serve Praia da Luz, and thus the absence of any record.

Does that mean it was the only mast within about a 15 Km radius ?

I don't know, but if so it puts Bruekner's phone call into context. How do they know he was actually in Luz?

I've noticed that German police have been very coy about stating where the other phone was located - just in a different area, I believe.

I don't think police have ever said more than area of PDL

I've only had a quick look at the map.  I'm assuming the liitle orange triangles just outside Luz, either side, near the coast are masts?  I think the number and location are based on phone traffic too.  The Luz population is only crica 3.5k.

I don't believe cell site analysis is like GPS where the location can be pinpointed with accuracy.  Afaik all CSA is capable of doing is confirming a call was made/received through a tower.

CSA was used in part to try and convict the Omagh bomb suspects.  Numerous calls were made from the South to Omagh allegedly when the suspects were allegedly en route to plant the bomb but it didn't stand up.

It was successfully used in part to convict those held responsible for the Rettendon murders.

I can't see in this case how it could assist as CB was living in Luz at the time.

No the orange triangles are not phone masts.  It might be the red dots but again there are only two for PDL and these are situated on the inland main road EN125.

Thanks. I’d not read that before. You’d think there must be a way to retrieve deleted texts - though possibly not so far down the line.

 Mr Mitchell said: 'You had nine people in a bar without watches on, without mobile phones and absolute panic set in when they realised what had happened'.

That’s an interesting quote (though reported second hand). If they had no phones and no watches then how were any of them able to confirm the timings of the checks? I’m presuming someone can answer this for me!

Were they responsible for announcing the time for the checks?

I don’t wear a watch and I can usually tell what time it is to within a few minutes instinctively.   What has any of this got to do with phone masts or Madeleine’s disappearance?  Are,you all still trying to make it the McCanns wot dunnit?

No I was actually interested in phone masts and deleted texts. The link someone provided about the deleted texts also had the "no watches, no phones" quote attributed to the chap of Cambridge Analytica fame (CM).

Normally they would do checks between meals e.g. after they've had their starters they would perform a check before the main meal arrives - that makes sense (Russell and Matt left at 9:25pm after they finished their starters). The McCanns claim they checked every 30 minutes.

Matt said Kate left the table to check at 9:50pm

Gerry said it was exactly 10:03pm  @)(++(*

Maybe he asked the Oldfield's what time it was?

I don't want to wander off topic though I'm more interested in K and G's deleted texts,

Quite a wide range for the Luz masts, so hardly pin point accuracy

So could Gerry McCann, apparently. He was very precise; he knew when it was 22:03.
