After announcing a new time line as breaking news, we discover that they're not certain but behave and deduce and focus exactly as if they were. Are they kidding ?
They could be certain, since they identified a possible innocent father.
They exhibit pyjamas obviously different from those described by Ms Tanner and all they say is that they're quite similar. Are they kidding ?
They avoid the question of the route SYman took from the creche, al-right, but instead of saying if SYman crossed GMartins where Tannerman did, they say it was close to the McCann flat. Are they kidding ?
The mystery of the moving door is certainly interesting.
At about 20.30 the couple left to have dinner in the restaurant.
At about 21.05 – 21.15 Gerald went to the bedroom to see the children, he saw the bedroom door was half way open which he found strange as he thought he had left it pushed to, however he entered and saw the children and saw that the window as well as the shutter were closed.
At about 21.20, their friend Jane passed by the apartment (along the corridor of the main entrance) she saw an individual carrying a child who passed descending the road, however she did not recognise this individual, nor the child, only having noticed that the individual appeared to be aged between 30 or 40, had dark hair and light coloured trousers.
At about 21.30 their friend Mat entered the apartment by the back door (patio door) he did not enter the bedroom and only saw the twins sleeping, he did not notice anything strange.
At the same place, at about 22.00 Kate discovered the facts and the consequent disappearance of her daughter Madeleine, at this moment the window being wide open as well as the curtains and the shutter.

This the fresher statement of all.
For me the swinging door is the most revealing part of their testimonies - it will be hard for people to forget the notorious "woshhhh" of the curtains by Mrs. McCann on Oprah's sofa.
All these years we've been yelled at by the abduction defenders that Ms. Tanner had seen the abductor, so there was a monster that had taken the child. To prove it the McCann father and mother provided statements that the door had not been as they had left it and even that the father, retrospectively, maybe had been in the apartment with a paper thin abductor hiding behind the children's room door.
Now, the swinging door is just the wind, because after all Tanner's abductor was probably just an innocent, six and a half years hidden father, making a circuit around the building with a child held in upfronted arms - probably training his biceps.
But SY says so, and we have to believe it.
