Silvia's statement
http://www.mccannpjfiles.co.uk/PJ/SILVIA_BATISTA.htm"She understood also that since the very beginning either Gerry or the others insisted on stating that Madeleine had been snatched, all using the word "abducted" instead of missing, and all showing much interest in informing the press of the situation.
She also recalls entering in the room where Madeleine should be sleeping and remembers now that the door was closed. The room was dark. The blinds were down, some light entering through their holes. The windows were closed and the curtains slightly open. Gerry, who followed her and the elements of the GNR, said he did close the window because of the babies sleeping in the room, a fact she confirms.
Gerry said that when he discovered the disappearance of Madeleine he noticed that the window and the blinds were open and the curtains fluttering.
She recalls that the beds which were in the middle of the room and used by the babies
were aligned and therefore found it strange that someone had taken Madeleine from the bed where she would be sleeping and had gone to the window because there was no space to pass.
She opened the wardrobes of that room in order to confirm that Madeleine wasn't eventually hiding there."
Do you think that Kate and Fiona had not checked the wardrobes by that stage? That is really odd behaviour.
If she slept in that room on Wednesday night she had made her way to the bed under the window so had experience of the level of light in there.
Well true but she wasn't in checking mode but going from one room to the other. Perception changes depending on the task at hand.
