(Dianne Webster) clarifies that the practice was for each couple to check their own children, it not being usual for anyone to check the children of other couples.
- The question asked, she thinks that up to the date of the disappearance it had never happened that anyone had entered the apartment of another couple in order to check their offspring.


But Matthew Oldfield offered to do it in front of everyone. In front of the Dianne Webster too.

Yes he was going with Russell and Kate was getting up. So he said you stay I'm going anyway so I will do the check.

Smithman carrying a child in his arms checked his watch after passing the Smith family and the time was 10:03. Both are still unidentified 10 years later.

I agree, but she could easily open the door (this is why the O'Briens locked it) and the corridor had some permanent light.

the front door had this pull up lock, where the doors lock if you pull them from outside. It is questionable if Madeleine could open this type of lock.
But the shutter with the pull up cord on the side she would definitely not be able to open this, it is even hard for an adult.

Pity they never done DNA test on the shutter cord. That could have explained everything. Well, too late..

The only possible exit for Madeleine was through the patio door and she wouldn't have closed the patio door behind her and even got down those steps. An abductor would have to carry her down those steps and then straight into the street without being seen. But he wouldn't have went back in the apartment to open windows and shutters.

I bet he regretted saying that later.

Definitely but I believe he's an innocent victim who's been caught up in the middle of this. MO never had any finger prints found on the window unless he brought out his gloves. Can't see it at all as there's no motive.

Well, if we are to trust the Portuguese search dogs Madeleine went out through the main doors and most probably walking. Barefoot and holding hands of her abductor???

Could that not equally be Madeleine coming into 5A after  a period at the creche?

no, because these dogs don't work like that. they work from the last place she was seen at.

And if we are to trust all of the info given in statements and files.. someone was in that apartment for a long period of time and that person took Madeleine out through the front door and to the car park.

this is saying, if nobody lied.

Well the cadaver dog found her scent at the bottom of the steps in the flower bed, not at the front door.

5A was the last place she was seen, so they would start from there. Can dogs determine which direction a scent is traveling in?

but the search dogs which were used on the May 4th followed her scent to the car park. Two dogs on the 4th and then two dogs on the 8th, all went the same way.


I am not sure about the scent in the flower bed, is it in files? was it tested for her DNA?

The last time Madeleine was seen alive was at 5.30pm when Kate picked her up from the creche. David Payne claims that he saw her at 6.30pm. We don't know what happened after that time.

But Portuguese police used the search dogs quite on time, and these dogs are quite good, I read somewhere they are the second in the world, after the Canadian rescue dogs but not sure where I heard this.

These dogs search for live people and they found her live track. This would be her freshest track, meaning the last.

Well they may have picked the last scent of her when she was alive and outside at 5.30pm.
