Who is that witness? The waiter who served them is a credible witness to what was going on that night! He said David and Matt were searching that area.
Gerry has never said he was searching the pool area.
The very same witness said this -
I would normally see them during the day if I went to the complex for a swim, or when they were going to get their children for lunch in the zone next to the Tapas. Nothing in their behaviour called my attention. They dined in the restaurant every night from Sunday until Thursday when Madeleine disappeared. The table was booked then for 19H30 to 20H00. It was nine adults in total, four couples and an older woman who was also with them. I always found them educated, good clients. They appeared to get along well amongst each other and each time I served the table they would comment on the food. It was a happy group who would often laugh during dinner. There was a man who particularly stood out from the rest of the group as she spoke a lot and told many jokes. At this time, I did not know who he was, but later found out it was Madeleine McCanns father. Frequently, when I served the table I noticed that one or two elements of the group had left the restaurant. I could not imagine where they had gone to. After seeing the news stories, I figured that they had gone to check on their children. On some occasions, I also saw some infant monitors on the same table but never related this to the facts.
So he is saying that Gerry stood out from the crowd as he spoke a lot and told many jokes. You say he wouldn't have recognised him searching around the pool? He realised afterwards he was Madeleine's father, I don't think he would say that if he wasn't sure. Just because Gerry doesn't mention he searched around the pool doesn't mean he didn't he was seen. The nanny said he looked under cars too, did he mention that?
