The Tapas 9 statements aren't confirmed by anyone outside their group. In fact the statements of uninvolved people disagree with the group's story. You have chosen to believe the group's story as factual. That doesn't mean it is.
PS Who's Martin oh knowledgeable one?
NONE of any of the individuals statements are confirmed by anyone else.
Whatever made you think they should be?
Each statement is taken separately: didn’t you know that?
You’ll always have contradictions in peoples statements; not because they’re necessarily lying, but because people forgot certain things/times/occurrences, or some people simply make mistakes. But when a bundle is put together it forms a picture that should add up. And like it or not (and you don’t like it) the FACT remains that what was said about the evening and timings was correct.
Where YOU come seriously unstuck, is by claiming (despite not being there) that they all left the Tapas Bar at 9:40pm.
They did not.
Besides the majority of people giving the correct times, the mere fact that Kate and Gerry arrived at the Tapas Bar at 8:30pm — and between then and when Kate came running back saying Maddie had been taken — Kate’s child-check was the THIRD one.
They’d agreed to do half hourly checks.
Gerry did his at 9PM
That was when Jane Tanner saw him about 10 minutes later as she was doing hers and saw Gerry chatting to a neighbour outside the apartment.
Gerry then RETURNED to the Tapas Bar.
At 9:30PM it was Kate’s turn to check, but as their friend was checking on HIS children at the same time, and his apartment was next door to theirs, he offered to check in for Kate and Gerry. Which friends do.
He then returned about 9:40PM.
So you tell me how, according to you, the whole table jumped up and ran out BEFORE Kate went to do HER check at 10PM?!
