Gerry said that Kate had told him the window was open when she entered the apartment....nice bit of deniability there. Tierney saw the window open several minutes after the alarm was raised. Strangely Tanner, Oldfield and O’Brien failed to see an open window on their various checks.
Oh dear, do we have to go over this yet again?
It was windy, the trees surrounding the place were fondy and rather like a willow as they moved in the breeze, and as Tanner, Oldfield and O'Brien passed by along the road they would be looking ahead. No reason to look thru waving branches at a place in near darkness.
They would reach the drive in entrance to the car park and be looking at the place which everyone had to start walking along to get to their flats. This walled pathway started in the centre of the big block which IIRC is called block 5. As they reached the drive in entrance their eyes would be focused on the start of the pathway
At this stage, Madeleines window was way out of their periferal vision and in darkness as the moon had not yet risen. The street lights, which were poor, had their lamps within the heads of the trees, so little light from them.
As they walked across the carpark closer to the pathway entrance Madeleines window went further and further into their periferal vision.
With no chance of seeing it at all once they were on the approach pathway. Totally out of sight.
No chance of seeing Madeleines window for any part of the walk unless they, for some specific reason, were specially interested in it and swivelled their heads, or eyes.
Please just drop all this nonsense about Jane, Matt and Rob not seeing her window was open ... and accept the scientific fact that people cannot see outside their periferal vision.
FGS give The McCanns a break. Instead of bullying them continually with inane ideas that are scientifically shown to be wrong.
