Leaving three children under four years-of-age alone in an unlocked apartment was the epitome of stupidity. As stated previously, some people leave their common sense at passport control when they go abroad.
The only entrance that the Mccanns were aware of, which was unlocked was the patio door .. and that was illuminated from the street light opposite and was overlooked by the tapas friends in the restaurant which was 50 metres away .... and was effectively the main rear garden to block 5
Even Amaral said that no perp. would go in by that route because it was lit, too close and in view of the group /parents.
As Brits unused to roller shutters, The Mccanns thought that if the shutter was down, then from the ouitside it was impossible to open it. That was patently wrong
We dont know if the bedroom window was left unlatched, or not. It might have been unlatched by a perp from inside, or outside.
AIMO
You know John, in innocence people can be stupid, which they realise afterwards. I well remember that someone on here once bragged about how they never had any crying problems with their babies cos they took them into bed with them all night if they cried. That is a NO NO in baby rearing circles.
How lucky they were that their babies were not smothered in the night.
Hindsight is wonderful.
We all make mistakes but are lucky and not criticized for ever after.
We ALL make mistakes but thank Gaod we are not criticized and destroyed for the rest of our lives
