It seems the mattress for Kate and Gerry came off a spare bed in the Paynes' apartment. According to Dianne:
" 4078 ”Yeah. So after the twins had been brought up did Fiona and Dave stay in the apartment with you?”
Reply ”Yeah well at that point Kate and Gerry came up as well and err because the Police had decided to close off the apartment, bit late in the day but you know, they came up and what we did we got the, there was mattresses on the spare beds in the room where Lily was sleeping so we got them and put them on the floor in the lounge beside the twins so that they could rest, if not sleep, err but by this time it must have been about half past four, five o’ clock in the morning.”
4078 ”And how were they by that time?”
Reply ”Err exhausted and obviously they didn’t sleep, I mean they were out again at the crack of dawn.”
4078 ”Had anybody else gone from the apartment to do any searching, from your apartment?”
Reply ”What, that night? Or…”
4078 ”Mm.”
Reply ”Well apart from the initial when, when the men were all err out searching I mean Dave was obviously one of them. I know there was a lot of err a lot of conversation going on about the fact that the Police, the Portuguese Police had not arrived err because I think the, err I don’t know if it was Russell and Dave that went down, only I think to reception and err I think they were also trying to get photographs of Madeleine printed and err I’m not sure if it was because of the, the delay in the Police arriving that they, I’m not sure who informed err Sky News of the event, you know a lot of that err I know Kate and Gerry spent a lot of time on the phone ringing people, they were just so, so beside themselves really.”
4078 ”Once they arrived at your apartment did they stay there a while or do you remember them leaving?”
Reply ”What, that night?”
4078 ”Mm.”
Reply ”Err I think, I think, I think they stayed there because it was very late or you know early, early morning and Kate wanted a priest, they couldn’t find a priest which, well I won’t, I won’t say what her language was but I’m, you know, Portugal’s a Catholic country and err no priest.”
4078 ”Mm. So the events in your mind of that night are you don’t have a concept of time checking because you were just sitting and waiting and wondering and feeling helpless.”
Reply ”Yeah, and I do know it was, it was very, you know, it was something like half past four or five o’ clock in the morning before we got to bed.”
4078 ”Is there anything that we haven’t already covered about the Thursday, and particularly the Thursday evening, that you think it’s important to mention?”
Reply ”Well I, I you know, my memory would have to be jogged I think for anything specific because I can’t, you know, eleven months down the line.”
4078 ”Yeah I know, yeah. I mean we have got your statement translated from Portuguese to English if, you’re welcome to, to hear parts of that, I can read parts out to you or let you have a look at it if it would help? It’s entirely up to you whether you want to do that.”
Reply ”Well, a lot of that I don’t, yeah I don’t remember but I think at the time I was interviewed err there was a lot of the things I wasn’t sure about and I made that quite clear.”
4078 ”Okay.”
Reply ”At you know, I was there on holiday, I don’t sit and watch people or look at my watch all the time so it’s very difficult.”"
