Despite Kate's theatrics, her & Gerry knowing Madeleine had just been dragged out of the window by paedos, neither of them, in the first 41 minutes, ran down to reception to call the police & report the abduction. Gerry told the other men to split up & search then he went off somewhere, & Kate stayed inside the apartment punching walls.

The Police were called then they were called a second time.  What do you mean Kate's theatrics?  Her child was missing have some empathy I don't think you are capable of empathy.  It has never happened to you so you don't care.

Rachel is more than a little gullible, bless her.

'On realising Madeleine had not been found in the first ten minutes, how did Kate react''
Reply 'She was really upset, she was hysterical, really distressed, crying and screaming, there's no way she could have acted that, or anyone could have in fact, I don't think, not even an actress'.

Rachael statement -

----- About 21H55/22H00 KATE got up from the table and went alone to her apartment in order to see her children. Five to ten minutes later, she returned the table, crying, visibly shaken, saying that Madeleine had disappeared. Immediately, all of the group, except DIANE, stood up heading for the apartments, and the witness went to see if her daughter was well. Soon after, the men of the group started to do a search around the apartments in an attempt to find the child, at which time the KATE said that the window blinds of MADELEINE's bedroom were open and, as such, she had been taken by someone.

She has Kate searching the apartment for 5 to 10 minutes. That's not what Kate herself claimed.

4078    ?After Evie had been poorly, do you know any, have you any idea what time that was? Presumably it?s, you say that you assume Russell got back to the table (inaudible).?

 Reply    ?Well I mean Russell, by the time Russell had got back to the table err he?d err they?d err they?d cooked another steak for him, it didn?t take very long and he literally I suppose just had about two bites of it when err Kate came running, so that must have been about, I don?t know, getting on for ten o? clock I would imagine because, well just working out the time that we had our starters and our main course and we were all finished our main course, it was only Russell err that had his to eat. We would have been waiting normally for him to finish that and order desert.?

Dianne couldn't be certain of the time only 'getting on for'10pm but it was soon after Russell got his steak, which was also said by Fiona. Russell wasn't certain of the time himself but he got back to the table about 9:45 approx, his steak came, he had a few bites then Kate came screaming. With Matts initial evidence also that Kate left the table around 9:50 it is pretty clear, to me at least, that the alarm was raised before 10pm.
