New German suspect in Madeleine McCann mystery disappearance.

[ISpyWithMyEye]

Everyone had phones in 2007 but they weren’t smartphones they were just phones to communicate with each other and as the group were all together in a foreign country it’s unlikely they would have taken their phones with them to dinner IMO.

I have to disagree with you on that one, VS

I travelled extensively in 2007, and prior to that, and lived abroad too in the early noughties...I always, always kept my phone on me and everyone I knew did too.

The whole point of a mobile was to keep it on you in case of emergencies.

Which Tapas Staff statement says exactly when GM was at the table and at what time? That's the point. Some of them talk  about him being away (for up to half an hour) but no-one says he was definitely there at the precise time of the Smith sighting. Then as we are told by the spokesman, Clarence Mitchell, none of the friends had watches or phones.

The Smith sighting was at 10pm

Gerry was in the Tapas Bar then

Everyone knows that

I think we better do this on a different thread .

Yes please and thank you.

Many of the group did not know the alarm time and guessed. They assumed 10 was correct because the McCanns said they checked every 30 minutes so 10 = Kate's check. Gerry and Matt both wore watches. Matt said Kate left at 9:50 to check. Gerry said it was exactly 10:03. There is a reason for this difference in time which I don't need to expand on here but OG have it! They should know the timeline is the key to uncover what happened and how Madeleine disappeared!

So, straightaway, you've quashed the rumour that not one of the Tapas9 wore watches or had phones.

How on earth do people get away with spouting such crazy rumours? And some people believe it???

I don’t know the relevance regarding Matt saying Kate left at 9:50 and Gerry saying it was 10:03.

Without reading why, it could be a mistake; their watches were out of sync...anything. You’re talking 13 minutes, which is not significant when a group are all eating Tapas, drinking wine, chatting, laughing, and coming and going to check on their children.

Why do you think that’s significant?

[ISpyWithMyEye]

The whole group simultaneously checked the exact time at the moment Kate came running to the table.

.

I don’t believe that!

First thing you’d do is jump up and see what’s happened!

You wouldn’t all look at your watch!

Besides, you said earlier no-one had a watch or phone....

[ISpyWithMyEye]

Fair enough they might lie... my point is only that there isn't a cast iron alibi for GM within the statements of the bar staff.

I'd be interested in your red flag. Would you PM it? I would not share it.

Sorry, no

I don’t even know you...

[Eleanor]

TOPIC PLEASE.

[ISpyWithMyEye]

More likely for selling a live child.  If in fact he did.

I always think there’s something strange about people who can believe the weirdest things...

[ISpyWithMyEye]

"Nine professionals didn’t have their phone or watch on? C’mon..."

Yeah a it much eh?   it came from their very mouths via CM.
Apart from being on the wrong thread , there are plenty of threads dealing with what you seek.

Go and Read ALL the statements and files-watch ALL the parents/families interviews then get back to us with your over the top  accusations that people here are making it up.

Enjoy!

Sounds a load of BS

I guarantee they had their phones/watches...

As for the Diana conspiracy...that was rubbish too.

The driver was speeding and crashed.

Why do people so what to think there’s something more to things when they’re so obvious?

You think that the thought of selling children is weird?

Thank you for posting that, but you’ve posted reams....

I don’t have time to trawl all through that

Can you link the part where CM discusses the watches please?
