Where was Gerry immediately after Kate found Madeleine gone at 10pm?

Gerry's statement
The third check was made by Kate at around 22:00. He does not know how long it was before Kate returned, but he does remember that shortly before she returned he was thinking of going to see what was going on, as it seemed a long time and he thought that one of children might have woken up.

That seems to be at odds with the statements of other Tapas members, who said she was not away for very long.
Perhaps it just felt like a very long time to Gerry.

She searched the Apartment, so obviously not as fast as usual getting back.

No certain people are not telling the truth more like. I wonder who  >@@(*&)

What do you mean 'as usual' - she had never been before.

Longer than it would usually/normally take to check the children.....By whoever

In the hour and a half they were at the tapas restaurant they bettered the half hourly check so common in hotels and holiday camps at the time.

8.30/35 they arrived
9,00 Matt did an auditory check at the window (same as holiday camps did)
9.05  Gerry did a visual check
9.30/35 Matt did a visual check but he didn't enter the room to check Madeleine.  Madeleines bed was round the corner.
10.00 Kate found Madeleine missing and raised the alarm

10.00 Kate found Madeleine missing and raised the alarm

..........except for the apartment being unlocked and open to the street, of course...........which meant that unlike the "holiday camp" whose service you feel they "bettered", Matt could have been "auditory checking" an apartment minus Madeleine.

Madeleine was actually seen by her checkers only once during the evening she went missing from an unlocked apartment and yet you persist in touting her care as somehow "better" in comparison with secured premises in enclosed sites.

Read the files and get back to me when you find Gerry's whereabouts from 10 to 10.10. You won't find Smithman if you're working from an incorrect timeline. Luckily SY have said that the Timeline is Crucial.

I don't think anyone is safe even in an enclosed site with security nowadays

Possibly not but much less safe if left unattended for long periods of time in an unlocked one.

That`s beside the point as to the alleged superiority of the McCann childcare service and the number of times Madeleine was actually seen on the night she disappeared from her unlocked apartment.

Agreed. I don't know what Gerry is going on about. Probably trying to waste up more precious time being at the alibi oops sorry tapas bar - every second counts. From her book:

"I ran into the kitchen, throwing open all the cupboard doors, into our bedroom, searching the wardrobes, in and out of the bathroom, all within about fifteen seconds, before hurtling out through the patio doors and down towards Gerry and our friends."

And there we have it, from the horse's mouth, so to speak.

I agree and I would never leave children alone in a house, holiday home or Butlins. It was wrong and that's what Kate was shouting about when Mrs Fenn heard her "We should have been here", "we let her down" she was screaming.
They know that they have done wrong.
Why they did? I do not know, but I do know they must be suffering for it now.
                I hope this is a lesson to any parents who are thinking its alright to leave their children to go and join
 their friends to socialise.

Did she say that ? I've not heard that before.
