And who on earth said Madeleine was abducted at 8.30
Where did I say that someone said maddie was abducted at 8,30 I wish you would get things right when replying.
It was a point I made that you would think if there was an abductor around at 8 pm on a mobile why did he hang around for another hour and a half.
Why did he not just go in at 8.30 when the mccs left were he would have known he had plenty of time before checking started.
Why would he hang around then decide to go in right in the middle of all the checking?

1) We all know about the watchers as seen by several witnesses. The abduction group were aware that 4 groups of friends had to travel from their apartments to the Tapas restaurant. None of the abduction group would want to be seen by any of the friends, so they would keep clear until every one had left and reached the restaurant. IIRC The Paynes were very late and then Matt, who had set out to try and chivvy up The Paynes, saw them en route.
Seems he decided that he was almost there, so he went to check his daughters' and Madeleines windows for noise (Like they used to do at Butlins). By the time Matt got back to the restaurant it was almost time to do the 9pm checks
2) Darkness was coming, but at 8.30 pm it would have been far too light to risk showing themselves.
All IMO, but it all fits.
Simples, Kizzy, when you think about it.
