At what time were the police called after Madeleine's disappearance?

[John]

At what time was the first telephone call made to police?

There appears to be some dubiety among members as to when the first telephone calls were made to police and who made them.

This thread affords everyone an opportunity to seek out this information and settle this question once and for all.

Below is the route which the police first responders had to take, a distance of 14Km.



541

You're right there's no evidence the place was cleaned and they only disturbed the crime scene closing the window and the shutters. But it is untrue that the GNR took nearly an hour to arrive because they were tied up somewhere else. The GNR Lagos post was contacted by phone at 22h41 (or 43), first call registered, it's a fact. Officers on patrol arrived less than 20 minutes later.

That's completely false Anne.  The Ocean Club  telephoned the police immediately they placed their missing child plan into operation around 10.15pm.   If you read the GNR statements and in particular the one by the officer in charge that night you will find that they received several calls but were unable to send a patrol as the only one was already tied up with another call.  The patrol got to Praia da Luz as fast as they could after being alerted and arrived at 11pm.

Amaral didn't even arrive until midnight so explain that too please??

Sorry, Angelo, but I insist this is not true. Please consult in the PJfiles the register of phone calls received on that night by the GNR. The missing child plan is an OC intern operation that has nothing to do with the police. If there's a document from the GNR alleging they were busy and couldn't come, please send the link.

And the inspector Gonçalo Amaral didn't arrive at all !

The call to GNR is registered at 22:41 and they arrived 10 minutes later. The PJ was not called until at least after 10min past midnightm when the GNR started to suspect that was not just a case of a wandering child.

(and no, I will not direct you to the files, you know were they are, move your fingers and get there)

Luz really does have a problem with supporting her assertions with cites!

But you are so good at supporting unsupported arguments, why should I differ?!
But my arguments always lead to documents accessible to all, I just don't always have the time  (and sometimes the will) to put the links on.

But I'll try, in the future, dear Debuker

First authorities called:
lets start with media reports http://www.mccannfiles.com/id121.html,

now official reports:

http://www.mccannfiles.com/id258.html, go over all those depositions and come back to talk to me.

You will find that I always provide cites.

Angelo, Amaral didn't arrive, at all. He never went near the apartment, till the McCann's had left Portugal.  >@@(*&)

[Angelo222]

And the inspector Gonçalo Amaral didn't arrive at all !

Sorry Anne and DCI.  I got that wrong.  I should have said the PJ arrived at around midnight.  Amaral stayed in bed.

Fantastic, Dr. Amaral has a double and I didn't know. Throughout the second half of May 2007 I saw someone that looked and talked just like Dr. Amaral in the OC.

Ah ah ah!  How cute!

and I'm the one that doesn't provide links. But you were probably in the man's bedroom to see that he remained in bed.

Sorry, Angelo, but you got the bed wrong as well. GA didn't sleep a wink ! A little lost girl, nobody in Portugal, knowing that, goes to bed.
