... and he did that after 'spending a week on the ground investigating'
Makes you wonder why it's taken Scotland Yard three years and six million quid to come up with a very similiar, and equally risible theory
If they are telling the truth about the door position it means it's impossible for an abduction to take place unless there is lying going on about the door.
8.30 door ajar
9.05 door half-open (Gerry found that unusual) 1st discrepancy - 1. abductor moved it but Madeleine still in bed so is hiding in apartment 2. Madeleine woke up and moved it . Gerry puts door back to ajar
9.30 Matt finds door half-open 2nd discrepancy 1. abductor moved it a second time 2. Madeleine woke up again and moved it.
Kate checks and finds the door wide open 3rd discrepancy 1. Matt moved it but he said he didn't 2. abductor moved it a third time 3. Madeleine did a third time
Crazy isn't it? Imagine if that door was always half-open like Matt found it and people were mistaken on it's position or lied. That would easily explain the discrepancy of the door and would connect with the window being open. You have to consider simplicity being the key in this case otherwise how can you explain a door moving three times in an hour. It's impossible. Madeleine moved it 3 times - I don't think so. An abductor did - I don't think so. Staging has to be considered as a possibility because the discrepancy of the door and the window being open after Matt's check leads you there.
