Are you married or have you ever been married?
Gerry and Kate were supposedly married, so it was Kate who saw it as a crime scene but her husband didn't think so, it was her husband who closed the window and it was her husband who lowered the shutters and then went around the outside and her husband found they could be lifted from the outside.
Gerry obviously misread the situation and stuffed it up IMO. OK he can make up excuses about the draughts on the children sleeping in the cots etc. but he is only human.
Amy Tierney saw the window open and the shutters raised, and I don't think GNR Officer Roque ever had a chance to talk to her that night.
But Roque must have been sufficiently convinced it could be an abduction he issued the "yellow alert" as someone called it, or is it a "Yellow Notice".
