This something I do not understand.
The Tapas group made comments about how KMcC discussed she was concerned about MBM at the dinner table that night.
E.g.

'Alright. Do you recall on the Tuesday night, I believe, Madeleine crying or somebody from the McCANN's apartment crying''
Reply
'I thought that was Wednesday night. You see, I mean, I only knew about that because on Thursday night Kate had said, erm, as we were chatting at the table 'Oh', you know, 'I wonder', you know, 'what', 'what she cried about' or, you know, she'd asked Madeleine, erm, because I think Madeleine had said something 'Where were you mummy, me and Sean cried' and, you know, 'where were you' and that had obviously worried Kate and she couldn't get anything more out of Madeleine, Madeleine had sort of moved on and, you know, didn't say anything more than that and wouldn't say, you know, whether she'd heard anything or been woken up or whether she had just woken up herself'

'Yeah'.

'So that was on her mind'.

'Right. So Kate told you that that happened on the Wednesday''
Reply
'Well she told me about it on the Thursday'.

'Told you on the Thursday, yeah'.
Reply
'So, yeah, thinking now, I just was thinking it was the Wednesday night'.

'But you can't remember whether she said it was Wednesday night that it happened''
Reply
'No, I can't say that she said it was the night before'.

'Right'.
Reply
'But I know I heard about it on the Thursday night when we were sat, sat down'.

I do not really understand why KMcC did not immediately check on MBM when she saw the door open - given that she had discussed concerns with the Tapas group at the table.
I'm not reading a lot into it, but it appears incongruous given the concerns expressed earlier not to make a proper check as soon as the door was seen to be open. It is arguable that delegating a check to MO, when you had concerns, was not the most appropriate option if there were concerns.
This really is the saddest (from little Maddies point of view) to the strangest of situations ever in this whole sorry story. [I always try and look at these threads with Maddies view of things].
Madeleine was upset her parents left them alone, she pointed this out and yet, the selfish parents ignored her, and did the same thing the very next night. Now the parents knew the children were waking up during the night when they were out, What were they thinking..
I also find Kate telling this story to be strange- there is no beginning and no end to it? just a couple of brief words from Madeleine which came out of no where for no reason?
