Slarti's Simple Solution.

[Alfred R Jones]

I've always found this statement especially interesting :

-------  STARIKOVA VITORINO (Russian citizen, with the telephone No "96635 ####) - kitchen assistant:
- Said that, yesterday, one individual, purportedly the father of the missing, left the dinner table where a group of friends (in number 8 or 9), for about 30 minutes. After having returned, a woman whom she believed to be his wife, also left the table, there having passed a few moments, all the guests left the table in question, except one elderly lady, who told her [Svetlana's] colleagues that that child had disappeared.
- During the time that she was working yesterday (between 14:30 and 23:00) she did not see any individual with blonde "rastas".

Left the table at what time?

Your posts are as clear as mud.  Answer yes or no: was there a 3-5 minute window of opportunity when there was no member of the Tapas Group in the immediate vicinity of Apt 5 a at any point between 8.30pm and 10pm?

Xcuse me, Miss....Sir,  Yes there was.

Is it? Manufacturing an alibi requires cooperation from others - are you suggesting he had it?

I'm suggesting it's not beyond the realms of possibility.

And yet despite the fact you think it possible Gerry colluded with others to manufacture an alibi (laughable premise that it is on its own!) you also  claim witnesses (including members of the tapas group) say he was absent from the table for 30 minutes, so NO ALBI.  So - what went wrong?  How did he allow himself to be seen absenting himself for 30 whole minutes with no one to give him a (manufactured) alibi (unless you count Jez Wilkins alibi or was that manufactured too?)

I did not claim witnesses said he was absent, I posted a statement from an eye witness who said in that statement that 'the father' was missing for 30 minutes so please do not put words into my mouth.

It didn't happen that way. Matt saw shutters closed around 9. Who opened them if you believe the McCanns version? My theory will be proven right if this case is solved.

what is the difference, pray tell?

why are you simply unable to give a straigh answer?  Don't tell me how it happened, unless you were there?

Perhaps you could have another go at answering this Faithlilly?

When you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable..............

All other possibilities have been investigated. They have found nothing because there's nothing there to find.

The fact that you repeatedly refuse to answer my question tells me that there WAS a 3-5 minute opportunity for an abductor to strike, thank you

That couldn't happen with 3 door moves and a later open window. Two had to be involved at different times.

Do you have physical proof of all the different angles the door was supposedly at?

A door doesn't move from ajar to half-open then back to ajar then back to half-open then to fully open by itself.

Who said it kept moving? The man with the selective memory? He forgot all about it at first, then remembered it. He never noticed Russell's meal being sent back, he never heard the jokes about Jane 'relieving' him, never noticed Russell returning. Not a very reliable witness imo.

Nothing was said in the first statement except;

as everything was calm, the shutters were closed and the door to the bedroom was ajar as usual. "After that Matt returned to the restaurant."

By the 10th May he has remembered a moving door which he found strange;

bedroom door was not ajar as he had left it but half-way open, which he thought strange,

After MATHEW arrived and before KATE left, he does not recall if anyone else was absent, although it was very probable that such had happened.
