at about 07H00 she turned on the television and watched an English news channel (BBC or SKY NEWS) where she saw an appeal to British citizens on holiday in the Algarve to offer all possible support to a British couple who were on holiday in Praia da Luz and whose daughter, a child, had disappeared on May 03, 2007.

I asked ...
When Yvonne Martin hot footed down the coast to give her unsolicited assistance how did she know that assistance was required?
Len Port described the hive of activity that morning with the Portuguese police and their dogs searching for what I believe was still considered to be a child who woke and had wandered from her bed.
Without benefit of hindsight why did Yvonne Martin decide decide to fly solo and conduct what amounted to a criminal investigation before the police had decided what procedures to follow?
http://miscarriageofjustice.co/index.php?topic=10418.msg502937#msg502937She certainly did not get her information from Sky News who did not broadcast it until 7:48 am on the 4th May.
Nor did they broadcast an appeal "to British citizens on holiday in the Algarve to offer all possible support to a British couple who were on holiday in Praia da Luz and whose daughter, a child, had disappeared on May 03 2007.
Why on earth would they make the assumption the Portuguese authorities, the British authorities, the holiday resort, friends, locals and visitors would neglect to supply all the support necessary?
An appeal to keep an eye open by all means but that stage that just didn't happen either the news report noting, "We're just hearing that a search is underway for a 3-year-old British girl who's gone missing in the Algarve area of Portugal; and she went missing last night. Hundreds of people have been searching for the girl; and that search continuing this morning."
Yvonne Martin certainly didn't get her information from SKY at 7.00am... so when exactly did the BBC broadcast the breaking news on May the 4th and what does their transcript say that precipitated Yvonne's ride to the rescue?
