Slarti's Simple Solution.

[pathfinder73]

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.

They said it kept moving if you believe them 

[Alfred R Jones]

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.

did it ever occur to you that one person's ajar is another person's half-open?

Impossible ajar is ajar half-open is half-open. Have you seen their reconstruction with Gerry, Matt and Jane?

OK answer me this at what precise angle does a door go from being ajar to being half open and then to being fully open?  You seem to believe these are precise terms that would certainly have been used precisely by the witnesses, who all agreed on the precise definitions of the words.

That is irrelevant if it never moved. Matt said it was half-open and Gerry said it moved to half-open. Go figure.

"The question asked, he clarifies not having told MBM's parents the facts of having found the door half-open." MO
 

"He followed the normal route up to the rear door, which being open he only had to move [slide] it, that being the way in which he entered [was entering] the lounge, he noted that the children's bedroom door was not ajar as he had left it but half-way open, which he thought strange." GM

"She noticed that the door to her children's bedroom was completely open." KM

This door thing is a monumental obsession for you isn't it?

You start your investigation at the crime scene. No evidence of an abductor only strange door moves and an open window.

[Alice Purjorick]

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

I would have thought you could have worked out whether or not there was time slot and its duration.
To say it exists because another poster refuses to answer a question is rather stretching credulity wouldn't you say ?

[Brietta]

Which at the time meant absolutely nothing to the people involved.  The positioning of the door was retrospective when each gave an account of the scene as it had been at the time of their visit.

That is the sort of information an investigation considers from collating various eye witness testimonies in which individuals give an account of what they have seen.

But doesn't your theory say there were no door moves pathfinder?
Back to Slarti theory does the supposed abductor go out through the lounge door or the hall door?

It has to be the hall door.  The Abductor wouldn't risk being seen carry a child in that street, and so close to The Ocean Club, Tapas Restaurant.
Getting in by the patio door when he was alone would have been very much easier.

If he goes in the patio door and out the wooden door that means the window is still shut
The theory is wrong because there is a reliable witness statement stating the window was found open.

There are several reasons for why the abductor would have opened the window.

Ah, MANTRA time.

The invisible man reappears.

I think you and I both know that there was a window of opportunity, I just wanted Pathfinder to be grown up enough to admit it, but obviously I was expecting too much.
