Yes, did they specifically state what it was - i.e. between X & Y times ?
I'm suggesting that the time window is smaller than your 30 minutes, possibly nearer 15
Where is this 15 minutes then?
2135: MO returns to restaurant table, by which time main courses are arriving or being eaten. MO tells JT that Evie unwell.
2140: JT returns to 5D to take over care of Evie from RJO.
2145: RJO returns to table to eat main course leaving JT in 5D.
2155: RMO asked time at table. RJO's main course arrives.
2200: (approx): KM leaves table to check children in 5A.
http://www.mccannpjfiles.co.uk/PJ/TIME_LINE_3_MAY_07.htmIs it between 2145 and 2200 as in the group timeline? Those times are, of course, not guaranteed to be accurate; Russell's statement on 4th May differed widely;
At around 9.35/9.40, taking advantage of the lull [waiting pause] before being served with the first [main] course, the informant left the restaurant with Matthew to check the children. When he got there, his daughter **** was crying. He stayed in her bedroom with her. He supposes that Matthew checked his apartment. Matthew returned to the restaurant five minutes after leaving it. His partner came to take his place in ****'s bedroom around 15 minutes later after finishing dinner.
At around 9.55, he went back to the restaurant where his food had been waiting for 5 or 10 minutes. All the other adults had finished.
http://www.mccannpjfiles.co.uk/PJ/RUSSELL-OBRIEN.htmHere we have Matthew returning to the restaurant at 2140/45, Jane going back and Russell returning at 2155. Nothing can be deduced from the timeline because none of them could say with any accuracy what time anything happened.
