It was all done in a panic Faithlilly, Gerry ran outside to see if the shutters could be lifted from outside the apartment, then he thought someone had come in through the window and taken Madeleine.
The fact that the twins slept through everything was something they were very concerned about afterwards, Kate was checking on the twins in between crying, screaming, hitting things and berating herself for leaving Madeleine, she was trained as an anaesthetist she would know what to look out for.
Dianne couldn't lift them from the outside and the police found them down, the window shut and they tested for prints. Why Kate was punching and kicking walls is unknown. Have you got any evidence of Gerry running outside to lift shutters? Err David certainly didn't mention it being in the apartment with the McCanns.

00:18:01 Reply "Err the, you know again I, it, it wasn't, it wasn't dark, it wasn't really, really dark but it you know my overall impression was the room was fairly dark. The, the children as I said before were still err fast asleep, which again you know we've discussed this you know over the months that Kate and Gerry you know, as all children wake up you know in the night and err you know with all the pandemonium and the shouting, breaking, that they were still you know, fast asleep, and err you know I wouldn't describe that I could see anything in the room like there'd been, you know, clothes thrown around the room or anything and disturbed and you know I, I noticed that the bed was empty that Madeleine was sleeping in. Other people have described that the bed was very neat and tidy but that isn't what, you know, I could confirm.'
1485 "What was the bed like that you can confirm''
Reply "I, I, you know, I, my note, visual note was she's not there, the twins are there, you know I just ran out and you know was wanting to, you know, run around like a headless chicken and try and do something you know to be helpful.'
00:19:23 1485 "How long do you think you were in that bedroom for''
Reply "Err as I say when I was there I wasn't actually, hadn't walked in to the whole part of the bedroom, if anything I'd just stepped in to the room just from the, err you know the doorway perhaps just beyond the doorway, but I hadn't you know gone right in to say like where the twins were or in between where the beds were. Err again it's, it's difficult, it's difficult to say because I could have well pop back more than once just, you know, you know with Gerry, you know moving, you know we were moving around so frequently, err I wasn't certainly there for any length of time, whether it'd be a minute, you know that would be something, or that I'd ever stayed at the maximum because there was just so much else.' .... ......
