On 3rd May the checks on Madeleine were every 30 minutes. 9.05p.m. 9.30p.m. and 10.00pm (approximately.
The checks on JT's children were every 15 minutes. 9.15p.m. 9.30p.m. and 9.45p.m. (approx)
IIRC according to Amaral - in one interview - everyone at the table checked on Madeleine on 3rd May.
(If anyone can find that interview it would be appreciated - I haven't been able to find it)
Were you sleeping when you wrote this bit?
"You are quoting times as if they are completely accurate. The fact that the times given in statements are almost always preceded by the word 'around' means they are simply best guesses.
IMO it's not possible therefore to come to any firm conclusions based on the times given - because some or all of them could be wrong. Especially so IMO when there was no reason for anybody to make a point of remembering the times of mundane movements which were of no significance at all while they making them.
Also different people can have vastly differing perceptions of time and distance.

So which is it to be? Let us look at this in detail.
These people made a decision to leave their children alone every night so they could wine and dine BEFORE they went on holiday. Did they have a schedule at the table? did they keep a record of visits in their head. It would seem the answer to these questions would be NO.
So, from that we can safely deduce that it was a flippant, irregular listening at the door system they had in place. Which if an abductor really did take Madeleine from her bed, then the blame lies with these adults.
No amout of ifs' whens and buts is going to change that. And Amaral saying anything about the time linein an interview would have been quoting what he was told was a 'timeline'.
The most interesting thing about THE timeline was/still is... JT seeing GM and an 'abductor' at a certain time. also Kate knowing what time it was when she checked at 10...
