Why was Yvonne Martin's offer of help dismissed so readily?

Who said he only traveled a few metres after leaving Gerry?  What time did he say he left Gerry?

Isn’t it the case that Jez went home ?

Isn’t it the case that Jez went home ?

yes, he returned home just before 9.30 pm, according to his wife.

yes, he returned home just before 9.30 pm, according to his wife.

So where was he for 10 to 15 minutes ?

[jassi]

Did he perhaps meet with Gerry rather later than he thought ?

It was the Tapas timeline.

He was a cheapskate then.
A Churchmans No1 lasted for 15 minutes.

You've posted this or something similar before and it goes nowhere near answering my two questions.

Yvonne Martin's narrative of her motivation is immaterial to both.

• Yvonne Martin was an English individual.  Any qualification she claimed to possess was an English one and unless you can provide evidence to the contrary neither qualified her to practice outwith boundaries and protocols in England and she most certainly had no jurisdiction to practice on foreign soil.
  
  My question to you was ...
  "How was she to do that given that she had no jurisdiction in Portugal?"
  
• My second question to you was ...
  "In what way do you think that was helping? (distressed parents)
  
  You haven't half jumped the gun on that one.
  They didn't need an interfering busybody delving into their privacy with reference to England!  They were in a Portuguese jurisdiction where a non Portuguese speaker hanger on would only have been extra baggage.
  
  It was absolutely none of her business whether or not there was some sort of custody dispute going on with fictional and a measure of her professional incompetence can surely be gauged from the harm and distress caused by her unwarranted intrusion into events which were none of her concern

For information ...

Poison pen letter ...
noun ... an anonymous letter that is libellous, abusive, or malicious.
Bearing in mind that Sally Bercow is testimony to innuendo being libellous.

Anonymous tip offs to the police cannot be libellous.

Back in England (or UK) where Yvonne has the jurisdiction what would the process be?  Could a social worker just step in?

No.  There is a process.  No Social Worker would ever just turn up at the start of an investigation.  Why would or should they?

Jez himself has claimed in his rogatory statement that it is possible that his chat with Gerry could have happened as early as 8.45

Q. Relative to the time I met Gerry McCann on the Thursday night of May 3, 2007;
As stated in my original deposition, I believe that I left the apartment around 20h30. I calculate that I met Gerry on the road between 20h45 and 21h15. I am aware of the importance of this hour and am also aware that the media announced our meeting time as 21h05. Even if this were correct, I have no idea from where such information originated. It is not possible to give you a more exact time.

Therefore it appears Jez does not rule out a much earlier chat with Gerry than Gerry claimed.

If the police had suspicions that the missing child is missing due to some actions of the parents surely someone would be concerned for the safety of the other kids.  Urgency seems important too IMO.  The parents are rightly suspects and have to be eliminated, so if that is the case what about the other kids.

Some ten hours after the event and overnight, when The McCanns hadn't even been interviewed?

Doesn't that make the need for Jez to provide an alibi even more essential.  If Jez talked to Gerry at 20h45 and then went home but arrived there 21.30 he then has a full 45 minutes he is not accounted for.

Yvonne could have interviewed Jez and Bridget after the McCanns had she been allowed to stay.
