I'm new to the case but have recently listened to some youtube vids/documentaries and read some of KM's book.
P. 91/92 of KM's book she states when GM did his 9.05 check he noticed the door further ajar than he left it. As such he first entered the bedroom he shared with KM to see if MM had entered their bed as she was prone to do if she woke in the small hours. She wasn't there. GM proceeded to the children's room where he found MM exactly as he had last seen her. He then had a proud parent moment thinking how beautiful she looked.
KM did her check at 10pm. As she entered 5a via the patio (she makes a point of telling us this is how GM and MO also entered) she paused for a few seconds to listen and all was silent. She also noticed the door to the children's room was also open wider than GM left if (how would she know how GM left it at 8.30pm when he did the check before they left?) she assumed this was how Matt left it. She then went and gently began to pull it to (why bother unless she suffers OCD) and suddenly it slammed shut as if caught by a draught (when it was in her hand!?). A little surprised she turned to see if she left the patio doors open and let in a breeze. Retracing her steps she confirmed she hadn't. Returning to the children's room, she opened the door a little and as she did she glanced over at MM's bed. She couldn't quite make her out in the dark. She looked at it for what was probably only a few seconds, though it felt much longer. She didn't switch the light on straight away through force of habit taking care to avoid waking the children at all costs. When she realised MM wasn't there...
And the diagram in her book P63 shows the children's bedroom door opening the wrong way hence MO was unable to observe MM when he did his check.
- If GM had a proud parent moment thinking how beautiful MM looked how come KM struggled to even determine whether or not MM was in the bed!?
My initial thoughts on this case are that the whole parent checking thing needs putting under the microscope. Were they checking as frequently as they said? Were they actually entering the apartment as they claim or one or both simply walking round the front and listening at the children's window? If GM was doing the latter this means MM's disappearance could have taken place from any time between 8.30pm and 10.00pm!?
If GM was checking every 30 mins from Sun eve to Thu eve why the proud parent moment on the last check which he felt the need to share with the world and its dog!?
