It was established that the frontdoor key was left on the kitchen worktop while the parents dined at the tapas restaurant which contradicted Gerry McCann's initial claim that he entered the apartment using the front door. Did either parent ever claim to have security locked the front door using the key or was it left so that it could still be opened from the inside without the key?
As for the patio door, there are no reports on record stating that it was stiff or hard to open.
What might be too stiff for a small 3 -4 y.o. might be simplicity itself for an adult.
At 80 and having been quite serriously ill, I am now unable to open many things that all of you can. I cant open screw tops and also cannot open 2 litre bottle of milk much of the time. I even find peeling oranges virtually too much.
Madeleine was little, her push on the patio door was delivered tpp low down .... and unless an extremely smooth running door, would tend to jam it rather than facilitate the sliding action.
Kate and Gerry are the only ones who would have any idea if Madeleine could open the front door. I have my doubts ... they believe she couldn't
..... and where were Madeleines finger prints ?
