The receptionist, Helder;
He knows about the situation that happened at the Ocean Club concerning the disappearance of a little given that on the day in question (03/05/2007) he was on duty and was contacted by a member of staff from the Tapas Restaurant between 09.30 and 22.00 who informed him that the daughter of some guests who were dining there had disappeared.

The times are all a muddle. I may also have slipped slightly from the topic, but it was necessary to answer the question regarding times.
Vitor Manuel dos Santos
With regard to the date of the disappearance on 3rd May 2007, he remembers that at 22.00/22.15 he received a phone call from the reception, from receptionist Helder, who told him that John Hill was extremely agitated as a child had disappeared and that the GNR had been contacted but had not arrived yet. He added (the receptionist) that he had phoned the GNR post several times and that he had been told that they would arrive when they could but that they were investigating a theft in Odiaxere. The receptionist asked the witness whether he should contact the PSP, to which the witness replied no as this area belongs to the GNR.
Given the circumstances, the witness thought it best to go to the resort to find out more about the situation.
When he arrived at the scene about 10 to 15 minutes later, he immediately went to the reception where the GNR were present, taking a statement from the girl’s father.
According to VS-
22.00 -22.15 he was called by JHelder
….
The timing above is wrong by at least 35 mins ?
J helder told him that he had called the police several times before calling him which means that it was after 22.50 that J Helder called him ?
JHelder told him of a theft in odiaxere holding up the police?
According to J helder-
Helder Jorge Samaio Luis
Occupation: Receptionist Ocean Club
Has worked at the Ocean Club for almost a year and a half and works as a Receptionist at the main Ocean Club Reception. He doesn’t work fixed hours but he always works on the 16.00 to 24.00 shift.
All his work takes place at the main reception.
He knows about the situation that happened at the Ocean Club concerning the disappearance of a little given that on the day in question (03/05/2007) he was on duty and was contacted by a member of staff from the Tapas Restaurant between 09.30 and 22.00 who informed him that the daughter of some guests who were dining there had disappeared.
That he immediately contacted the GNR in Lagos, shortly after this the child’s father and John Hill arrived at the reception and he phoned the GNR again.
He then contacted the head of reception Vítor Santos and informed him of the situation.
He remained at the OC reception until 24.00 when he was replaced by a colleague Mr Eliseu.
He then left the OC and went home.
According to John Hill and several others -
He J hill arrived at OC around 22.33
According to GNR-
The patrol had a call while in Odiaxere and left immediately for OC
The GNR statements said the patrol was in Odiaxere
The receptionist statement never mentioned Odiaxere
So where did VS come up with the story of a theft? Maybe the GNR?
Why was his timing out by so much?
J Hill arrived at OC around 22.33
VS was called by the receptionist when Gerry and J hill were in reception or around or just after according to Helder..
Directly after Hill and Gerry arrived, Helder called the police again….that would have been the last call recorded around 22.50 then he called VS
So the first call was after J Hill arrived at 22.33 -(22.40) and the second after J hill arrived in reception 22.50 He then called VS
