I wonder who leaked their names to a Portuguese newspaper? It wasn't the PJ because they never spoke to them. So was it Leicestershire police or Metodo 3?

According to the article they did speak to the police, six weeks prior to the article in which they gave a formal statement.

Murat translated for them.

As the hours passed without any sighting of Madeleine, Mrs Wiltshire became increasingly concerned about the strangers she had seen the day before.

She said: "I didn't know if it was significant or not but I needed to tell the police in case it helped.

"I got a member of Mark Warner's staff to get a policeman to come and see me and told two officers about the men I had seen.

"I told them they were blond and one had curly hair. One was stockier than the other and they had obviously just opened the gate and walked up to the balcony.

"I showed the policemen the balcony and as I was explaining the circumstances, Robert Murat appeared and started translating for me."

Why is it you appear never to read the link provided and supply a contradiction instead?  Very sloppy.

They spoke to the UK police in November 2007. Whatever they said, no statements were passed on to the PJ.

More to the point - they spoke to the Portuguese police repeatedly in the 'golden hours' in the immediate aftermath of Madeleine abduction.

They had important identification information to convey to them.

They were totally ignored.

We saw two blokes on a balcony.

Not much you can do with that really is there.

There were two blokes on a balcony that afternoon; Matthew Oldfield and Russell O'Brien.

So they said. I wonder why the UK police didn't pass their statements to the PJ? Maybe they saw them as not relevant to the investigation?

Or maybe the PJ filed them in the waste paper basket as they were focused on building a case against the parents at the time?

I wonder why Metodo3 didn't immediately release the crucial details of their statements either?

Too busy trying to get them both to pin it on Murat instead.

Sisters Jayne Jensen and Annie Wiltshire say they are 100 per cent sure they saw Robert Murat nearby minutes after Madeleine McCann vanished.

A friend said last night: "Jayne and Annie know what they saw and that is that."

He didn't say that on the cross.

No, he said "I'm Brian & so's my wife"

Various statements taken by the UK police don't appear in the PJ files. Others appear much later than they were taken. I've seen no evidence that the PJ rejected paperwork sent to them by the UK police, but it does seem that the UK police decided what they passed to the PJ and what they didn't.

LOl.  What evidence of that would you expect to see?
