Seems woke and wandered back in favour again.

So opening a window and then the shutter would draw more attention than peaking out the door,glad that's sorted.

The door is in a recess ... so not as simple as peeking out really cos all you would be looking at is a blank wall obscuring your vision.
Whereas peeking out of the window affords a view of the street entrance to the apartments and anyone coming or going.

Far better to duck back in a recess than make a noise with a shutter.
Which would be the more obvious,shutter and window open,enabling some one to stick their head out,or sneak out the door and peak around the recess.

IMO, a child abductor would never contemplate abducting a child from a bedroom containing two other children given that they would probably scream the place down thus attracting attention.  Better the lone child, much easier to control the situation.

I really think this is poor logic, sorry. 

[Vertigo Swirl]

You know of any other child abductors who have grabbed the child and legged it out through the bedroom window without leaving a forensic trace?

Yes.

[Brietta]

Raising the shutters was noisy. It would attract the attention of anyone nearby who was out of sight of Jimmy and his mate, not to mention the risk of wakening three children.

It was the previous occupant of G5A, Paul Gordon, who mentioned the noisy shutters. #

No it wouldn't ... Gerry did it and no-one heard.  A retired policeman was filmed doing it ... didn't see anyone rushing to intervene.  A security guard saw it had been interfered with during his rounds ... but neither saw or heard anything.

Snip
- Back at 5A of the Ocean Club, on 26 September someone forced up the external blinds of the front bedroom to an oblique angle. There appeared to be no attempt to force open the window. The security guard stated between 21:00 and 21:05 he had done the 'rounds' of the block, then walked down to the supermarket and back again whereupon he found the damage which he called in immediately. https://www.mccannpjfiles.co.uk/PJ/DCCB_LETTER.htm

And did the child’s father and his best friend give the police two completely different versions of when they seen them alive?

Yawn.

[Vertigo Swirl]

Is that a no they never then?

no, it’s a yawn, at your tedious repetition.

[Vertigo Swirl]

And you think your supposed belief that Madeleine was abducted is original do you?

I don’t keep harping on about the same thing day in, day out.

[barrier]

I know you don’t, you try your best avoid the juicy stuff.

There is nothing tedious about Gerry’s two versions of the last time he claims to have seen his child alive, IMO. You’re just going to have to get used to me harping on about it until they get their hands on Jimmy I’m afraid.

Not planning on leaving any time soon then.

It’s very silly IMO.  Nobody else does it, so why do you have to?  Do you think you’re the only person who’s noticed the discrepancy?

So expanding upon this decision to apparently leave the patio door open; I wonder if Kate knew. Did Gerry make that decision to save his legs? What mother would concur with that decision? I don't know of any.
Unless it never happened, of course.

[Vertigo Swirl]

It looks like I’m the only one prepared to harp on day after day about its importance to the story we have been fed about Madeleine’s disappearance. Gerry didn’t tell crime-watch viewers about that, did he? And Kate forgot to clear it up in her book, didn’t she?

That just leaves me.

Good luck to you but please be aware that every time you reply to one of my posts by bringing it up again Iwill yawn.

No, because they were later closed, then raised again twice and the twins slept on. Abductors wouldn't have expected shildren to do that though., so imo it was a risk they wouldn't have taken.

One minute there are claims the shutters are noisy then there are claims the twins slept through them being raised twice.   Well maybe the twins were sedated but Madeleine was not.  Whatever happened to the twins is no certainty the same happened to Madeleine.

Are we talking about the view from the window in the kids room?  I doubt that it allowed such an over all view.  Have you seen a photo taken from within the room to demonstrate that view?

Wait wait, where does all this come from?  AFAIK Kate knew all along.  Gerry and Kate left by the patio door.
