Did the moving door have any relevance to Madeleine's disappearance?

[Redblossom]

Because (perhaps...) he's the only witness to the patio door being unlocked?

OBrien reckons he checked in the Mccanns kids on Sunday night via the patio doors.....said doors being locked according  to Gerry....that night....anyway....if he (Matt) went inside to do a "visual" check he failed to so ..what is also strange is that accordingto his wife he wondered where Madeleine slept and even went to look for her in her parents room...but didnt stick his head round the kids room....in any case, if Matt did go into 5a on that night it was out of his way, rather than just listening for noise at the window next to his from outside....

The search was split into 3 zones radiating out from Praia Da Luz in a northward direction. The first zone extended 3km to the EN125 road at Espiche. W?hin this zone, sectors were drawn using the natural boundaries that exist and included the entire village. Officers were briefed and debriefed before and after deployments and records of activity collected. Each sector was repeatedly searched on 3 separate occasions over the 7 days using officers conducting line searches and supported by air scenting dogs.

air scenting dogs, yes, the GNR has a lot of them... none is called Rex and none is called Zarus..

Mr O'Brien also said that the same Sunday he checked Mr Oldfield's child... and Mr Oldfield was sick at home..

They certainly did seem to get confused over which day was which.

Reply "Yeah"

4078 "Or the poolside door?"

Reply "Yeah".

Reply "When I offered to go and, erm, go and look".

Thanks very much Anne. That is where Gerry said he was talking to Jez?

IMO The GNR dogs search was one of the most professional phases of this ce rase.

The dogs, the handlers, the reports. All done to a highly professional level.

And these dogs did find Madeleines scent.

To a car park across the road to Ocean Club reception.

Pity the car park was never looked at further. People living around the car park never asked if they saw anything unusual that night.

Ok.

The entrance of this public car park is in front of the Tapas reception. Mr McCann and Mr W were talking higher in the street. Rex, at the bottom of the alley path crossed the street and turned right following for some meters the G6 wall down to the car park.

Have we got any images to show the direction the dogs took from 5A please? Thanks.

All 4 dogs went the same route

It was at the car park, next to the lamp post the dogs lost the track.
