Even giving or taking ten minutes each way on every single statement hardly allows sufficient time for a man to leave the dining table, change his clothes, retrieve a corpse from it's hiding place, walk beyond the distance of the Smiths sighting, find another suitable hiding place, return to the his apartment, change back into his earlier clothes and return to the table several minutes before his wife gets up to go to the apartment. Not only that, but it requires for those seated at the table during his protracted absence whilst supposedly hiding a body to all forget to mention this protracted absence just before the alarm was raised.
So, in short I would say that unless you believe all the Tapas group are very forgetful indeed or covering up, it's pretty irrefutable.
The last time Maddie was seen in public was around 5.30pm. The disappearance was announced after 10pm so by my calculations that gives a window of 4½ hours in which only David Payne, Matthew Oldfield and Maddie's parents allegedly visited the apartment. Curiously, Payne's recollection of that event is somewhat different to Kate McCanns. More false memory syndrome?
Even stranger is that Oldfield failed to see Maddie when he visited the apartment around 9.30pm yet her bed was right beside the bedroom door. In his first police statement he said he merely listened at the door of apartment 5a but later said he had gone in and noticed that the room seemed lighter than the others, as if the shutters had been opened. He cannot be certain whether Madeleine was there.
Probably because she wasn't!!
