Cant believe some of this thread, just some observations, dont want any answers to any questions....
There have been lots of threads on this, all going round in in circles, nothing anyone can agree on much, but these are the facts
Mrs Fenn made a statement (ignore Ferrymans accusations of it being doctored, this is not bloody Hillsborough, and also his attempts to make out she didnt say half the thngs she did LOL basing his evidence on "snippet out of context alledged quotes from a rag", wont go into his weasel off topic lies about the dna about madeleines parentage)
She was sure the crying was coming from the flat directly below.
There is no evidence she was hard of hearing, indeed, she may have had a hearing aid if one wants to "speculate"
The child could not have been the Paynes as they had a baby monitor! Flat directly to right of Mrs Fenn
Obrien and Tanner lived three doors to the right of Mrs Fenn on the lower ground below her level
Ignoring issues of whether his (Obriens while he was at home that night) ill child was crying for over an hour and he may have fallen asleep as suggested and not heard them or couldnt stop the crying,(and Lace made a point if Obrien was home his ill daughter would be crying daddy daddy as Mrs Fenn said) would that distance really be realistic? Compared to Mrs Fenn being SURE it was from directly below?
Flat to the right of Mrs Fenn and on the l ower level, the Oldfields, next door to Mccanns, well if it was their kids, then that means they werent checked all that time! Same goes for if it was Madeleine obviously

Now, how far does anyone want to stretch, "it was from the flat directly below" To say perhaps three, four, five or more flats away? Or a few on top and to the side? Acoustics vary that much in distance? Someone crying at a distance of 30 metres sounds exactly the same as somene cryng a few metres? or someones patio door directly below you sound the same as one 3 flats away?
As for not interviewing Mrs Fenn for months, no ones knows the answer, we can speculate, maybe that reports of crying children were not suspicious in themselves. I also find the suggestion that the PJ after taking Mrs Fenns statement should have gone and interviewed all the occupants of all the other flats in the block just to ask was it your kid by any chance that was cryng on Tuesday night totally ludicrous!
