The Sun appears to accept this claim as sacrosanct but the evidence tells a different story as Madeleine was heard to cry for over an hour on a previous night by the homeowner who resided permanently above the holiday apartment.
Even Amaral in his book does not name Mrs Fenn as the person who heard a child crying - and that's because she didn't name any child in her statement.
When she said she didn't want to upset the parents, that does not necessarily mean she was sure it was Madeleine - as it could just as easily mean she didn't want to upset the parents in case it wasn't Madeleine whom she heard.
Very similar to Jane Tanner - who although she told the police what she had seen, didn't want to tell Kate at that stage - in case it wasn't Madeleine who she'd seen being being carried away.
IOW neither of them wanted to add to the fear and anxiety already being experienced by Kate and Gerry at that time - in case they were wrong.
