Crimewatch Reconstruction.
https://youtu.be/OZ8jmdWlB8Y?t=7468:30pm The McCanns pull the bedroom door too & leave for the tapas restaurant.
9:05pm Gerry enters the apartment & notices the bedroom door was open further than he'd left it.
Madeleine is laying where he'd left her, he stands & observes how beautiful she is & spends roughly 10 minutes inside the apartment watching football or something. He returns the door to it's original position.
9:10/15pmGerry meets Jez Wilkins outside & chats for no more than 5 mins (according to Jez)
Jane walks past unnoticed.
9:30pmMatt enters 5a, the door is now wide enough open that he can see the twins breathing in their cots, & there's no breeze blowing or flapping curtains. (although this inconvenience was scrubbed from history in the Crimewatch reconstruction)
10:00pmKate enters, notices the door is wider open than she'd left it, pulls the door too & the wind slams it shut, she looks in & can't tell if some flat bedclothes are Madeleine or not. The window & shutters are now open.
You all know the rest.
Question is, could an abductor have been in the apartment all that time?
If so, he must have been in there before Gerry's check, so how did he know Gerry was coming enabling him to hide in time?
Where did he hide?
IMO, he must have been in the apartment during Matt's check because the window & shutters weren't open.
So why did he spend the best part of an hour in the apartment & what was he doing all that time?
I'd be interested to hear from members the explanations?
