Gerald was seen and spoken to by Neil Berry and Raj Malu. They heard him calling for Madeleine when they were sitting on Neil's balcony, not far from the McCann's apartment. They both went down to talk to Gerald and helped in the search. http://www.mccannpjfiles.co.uk/PJ/BRIGADE-OF-INFORMATION.htm

Presumably that information was in the files when the OFFICIAL INQUIRY FILES and DOCUMENTS - P.J. BRIGADE OF INFORMATION ANALYSIS was collated?
If not ... where did it come from?
Pages 1-11 of that report were produced by the PJ's DCCB in September 2007. Pages 12-14 were produced by Operation Task in August 2007.
http://www.mccannpjfiles.co.uk/PJ/OUSTROS_APENSOS_2_SET_SEP07.htmThe quote about Balu and Berry was on page 14, as was a quote about Valerie Kerr. None of their statements are in the PJ files, but the UK police had them, read them and quoted them in August 2007.
The PJ asked Balu in the rog questions;
How did you get to know that a child was missing ?
With regard to the question as to how I became aware a child had gone missing and my involvement in the searches;
After 22:00 we were still sitting on the veranda in the Berry apartment. We heard noises downstairs and afterwards found out that a child had disappeared.
http://www.mccannpjfiles.co.uk/PJ/RAJ_BALU.htmThe same question was asked of Berry;
When exactly did you realise that a child was missing ? Where were you then and who were you with ?
From 22.00 onwards all the events that took place were already described in my previous statement of 7th May 2007 and i cannot add any further information, other than that which was already added.
http://www.mccannpjfiles.co.uk/PJ/NEIL_BERRY.htmThe question is, did the PJ see those original statements? If so, why ask a question which had already been answered according to the Operation Task report?
