Crying children figure quite a lot in the excoriating comments directed at Madeleine McCann's mother.
I wonder what action was taken to investigate the crying child reported to the GNR by someone called
Robert, acting in his role as a translator?
Seems no note was taken of of the date or time of the phone call ~ what action was taken ~ or what the outcome was.

snipThere many people at the scene but nobody particularly drew his attention.
When asked he said that he never saw Robert Murat in all the times he visited the scene.
He does remember however, that on a day he cannot recall, an individual who identified himself as Robert, saying that he was in P da L as a translator helping the PJ, phoned the Lagos post saying:
That some foreign women, who had already been interviewed by the police, had phoned him, telling him that there was a child crying in an apartment near to them.
