Those are the FACTS, and also in a situation where they couldnt see or hear them, but alledgedly played musical chairs all night checking, and according to gerry he made NO VISUAL CHECKS ever apart from his last night 9 pm or so check, so anything could have happend to them and theyd be none the wiser
Stupid comment Red
They only arrived at the restaurant at about 8.30-8.35. He made his check at about 9.05 and visually checked. Matt visually checked, (but didn't enter the room so missed Madeleine,) at about 9.30, having made a listening check at 9pm. Kate made a visual check at !0.00pm to find Madeleine gone
Why are you wumming, over and over the same stuff.
The checks were made at better than half hour intervals and were much better than the then commonplace listening checks made by strangers at hotels all around the world.
Since Madeleine went missing, hotels generally are no longer offering this service, but millions of people must have availed themselves of such service for deecades, probably centuries ... and all over the world
