New German suspect in Madeleine McCann mystery disappearance.

Hypothetically: If Madeleine wasn’t told by her parents that they will be dining close-by at the Resort’s restaurant and won’t be physically in the apartment apart from checking on them, could the following be significant?: Madeleine did not know her parents’ friends that well or any other person/s becoming an acquaintance perhaps. Given that she did wake up, finding her parents ‘missing’ as perceived by her not knowing that they were not in the apartment and an unfamiliar person present in the apartment, what would she do?

I think that is absolutely a possibility that the presence of Matt Oldfield or Russell O'Brien checking on the kids could have panicked Madeleine.

This is a valid point and worthy of consideration.
Of course, if she woke up, she would almost certainly panic being roused by a relative stranger in the half-light.
Most competent adults would know this.

During the daytime IMO is seriously different than at night.

Hypothetically run out into the road into a path of a car,disposed of and the rest is history as they say.
Mitchell in Oct 2007 had this to say  "There was no evidence of a break-in," said Mr Mitchell.
That rules out any intruder imo,dna was reported to have ruled out tractorman by the same token no mention of  CB's being found in 5a,there was no abduction from 5a imo.

Kate thought Madeleine could be hiding somewhere in the apartment.  So as a parent she must have had her doubts about how Madeleine  handled the visits by the friends and the opening of the window by someone else.

Kate thought she might be hiding in the apartment? She didn't even check behind the curtains that were jammed by the bed and the couch.

How do you know?  Did she tell you this?  You don't think she might have noticed if her daughter had wedged herself between the bed and window, or that Madeleine might have said something or made some noise as her mother frantically searched?

She told Oprah she checked the wardrobes in the children's room in case Madeleine was cowering in there. She searched for 15 seconds in all.

Vertigo Swirls post DiD  present very good reasoning as to why Kate didn't have to check behind the curtains.
Such a pity it was moderated so extremely.
Still wondering why?
Eleanor and I both thought it was a very good post

That's a recommendation?

Can you explain a little further what you mean.

Which was my point. Surprising to find the curtains hadn't been moved at all. Wouldn't that be one of the first places to check, despite the potential space constraints?
Who here, as a mother, would not check the by the curtains, pull the couch or bed back 'just in case'?

I suppose you would not have bothered to check the side of the bed and not move the curtains at all?
I'm not a mother, but I would have torn them from their moorings; I would have moved every piece of furniture.
Call it what you like.
