1. S.Hubbard, K Mccann, A.Cowley, for example see http://joana-morais.blogspot.com/2009/05/mccanns-pressure-and-harass-ocean-club.html , this was genuine investigation re the tapas bookings.
2. Yes that's right, the clinic is number 12.
Voice Over: What she saw, what she knows, and what could have this employee of the Ocean Club said to raise such an interest by the McCanns? 'Francisca', a fictitious name, was persistently approached at the end of the last year by the ‘spearhead’ of the couple in Portugal. Susan Hubbard, the wife of the Anglican Father [Haynes], in Praia da Luz, went various times to the tourist complex, to the house and even left notes in the mail box. She was determined to put her [the employee] in contact with Kate.
‘Francisca’ – She told me: ‘Kate wants to make contact with you, because she wants to make you questions, etc...’. And I said: ‘What questions? Because there’s a detail, at the time I was on my break. I had three days off, do you understand it?’ So, what I have seen, what I have not seen, who was there, who was not, I don’t know.
Voice Over:
This witness might be key in the investigation, since she lives near to the church –
the place where the former coordinator of the investigation suspects that Madeleine’s body passed through. The worker for the position she occupied, controlled a great part of the conversations and faces that appeared in Praia da Luz during the long months of the investigation. The insistency of Susan, so that ‘Francisca’ gave her personal email address arouse suspicions.
‘Francisca’ – She wanted to get in my ‘site’, to see who I was talking to or who I was in contact.
Voice Over: The contact with Kate happened a month later, via SMS.
In the texted messages, Madeleine’s mother, warned that family members would go to Praia da Luz in the following days, and
that she would be contacted personally. The approach was made, not by the mother nor by Gerry’s sister, but
by Arthur Bailey [fictional name?],
a detective hired by the family,
who was once an inspector of the Scotland Yard.
‘Francisca’ –
He made me some questions, what were my impressions, lots of things…
Journalist – And do you believe that they were suspecting that you…
‘Francisca’ – That I knew more than what I was saying.. That was my impression…
Journalist – …That you were working as an informer to someone?
‘Francisca’ – Exactly.
Voice Over: From the talks that she had with her colleagues ‘Francisca’ believes that she was the only Ocean Club employee target of the private detectives and of the couple. She doesn’t have doubts that Madeleine is dead and she hopes to explain why to Gonçalo Amaral, now that the former inspector is committed in reopening the process.
