Strange Witness Statements

[Benice]

So a myth started about dumping a fridge before the McCann's were made arguidos in September. Strange so what date did the myth start? I thought it would be June/July time.

"Err the, I know that again, you know Kate and Gerry had had problems err with I think it was the blinds in their flat and the fridge and they’d had people in err you know into the flat, you know which obviously retrospectively was a concern as well. Err yeah that, you know who were those people, had they been checked out." (David Payne 11 April 2008)

I think DP may have got mixed up with the washing machine - which did need attention.

DP has a way with mixing up words  >@@(*&)

”There was nothing of that size that you could hide a, a tennis racquet in or anything like that."

1 – Page 287 (Marked: 1 & 2) An undated and unsigned hand-written note, very difficult to read but appearing to be written by a police officer from Aljezur, stating that on 4 (or 9) May around 06:00am (s)he found an ‘elastica para o cabelo’ (hair elastic?), abandoned/lost on the floor of (what could be) the back of the parents’ bedroom.

6 – Page 299 (Marked: 14) An undated, hand-written note that a bag was found by firemen in ‘Matos Morenos?’ in Funchal (Funchal Ridge, Lagos?) at 15:00.

8 – Page 302 (Marked: 20)” A hand-written note on GNR notepaper says that an Englishman (HW) found something (undisclosed) in the garden immediately adjacent to apartment 4A (building not indicated) at “11 16 45 Mai 07″. Whether the ’45′ belongs to the time or the date is not clear.

The building is G4. Between building G5 and G4 is a footpath, I think this item was found in the garden or shrubs on the G4 side of that path?

[AnneGuedes]

Here is the passage between G5 (left) and G4 (right)

[Aiofe]

At least three independent witnesses have shown that the tapas group lied about the 15 minute checks.

Their evidence is beyond reproach.

They may have shown that there were errors in the accounts. Proving them to be lies would take some doing!

So this item was in the garden of apartment 4A (which is in block G4), but we don't know what it is

They received the hire car on Sun 27 May. Have we a time?

27 May Diary: "I went for a walk to the beach with Sean and Amelie. Frozen. Beach—slippery, wet feet."

Early night? - Last ping at 20:52

28 May... First ping of the day at 10:07 (Later than normal)

SAT 2 JUNE - Diary: I can't remember today (which is now yesterday!).

"Lagos Norte" (20:11:08). Returning to Praia da Luz, where it activated antenna "Praia da Luz Centre" at 22:46:11.

A big discrepancy to check. 2 1/2 hour gap from Lagos to PDL. This is very interesting!

with Michael Wright as additional driver thought he wasnt in Portugal at the time
 >@@(*&)

as per his roggie interview

Can you put people as additional drivers just like that? i didnt know that.....Sorry pathfinder, trangressing, carry on

[AnneGuedes]

At the time I travelled with Anne-Marie on 8 June, Kate and Gerry had rented a vehicle. It had seven seats, I judged [thought] it to be a Renault Espace. Gerry suggested that I be added to the insured driver's list so that I could drive it while they were in Morocco, but I judged [thought] that to be unnecessary as they would only be gone for a few days. When I was in Portugal on 12 July I was picked up by Kate who was driving the Renault Espace.

It was on our trip to Portugal on 22 August that Gerry suggested that I was added to the contract as an additional driver and I accepted. Gerry and I went to Lagos and I was included in the contract as additional driver.

I drove the car regularly in August and September, doing the shopping at the supermarket, taking the house and garden rubbish to the recycling area in PdL and also taking the twins to creche and to the beach, and trips to the airport. I was also a passenger in the car at various times, mainly in June and July when Gerry and Sandy drove.

Thanks to you both for the great info. SAT 2 JUNE has got me interested on both the 2.5 hour ping gap and the diary entry I can't remember today. What places north of Lagos at 30 minutes drive?
