The Taxi driver reported the sighting as being on 3 May 2007. He was convinced that it was Kate in the taxi and that they would have been able to get back to PDL in time for the alarm to be raised. He also said that one of the men had fine spectacles like Murat and it should be checked to see if Kate was away from the Ocean Club at this time.

Probably because at that time on the 4th K and G may well have been alibied by someone independent like the PJ or similar, whereas on the 3rd, we only have their word for what they were doing at that time. Weren't they late getitng to the restaurant also?
Gerry was supposed to be playing tennis at 6.00 p.m. on 3rd. I'm not sure what time the tennis match finished but if him and K didn't go to the Tapas until 8.30 p.m. that leaves some considerable time inbetween. The only alibis they have i.e. Kate bathing the kids when they all looked angelic in their pjs, are their Tapas friends.

"He (Mr Castela) did not place any importance on his clients until two days later when the media took up the case, "Then I spoke to my son who is an officer with the GNR and he decided to put me in contact with the PJ. I told them exactly what I have just said and the inspector asked me if I knew if the hotel had surveillance cameras. I told him that in theory, yes. Out of curiosity, two days later, I returned to the hotel and asked them if the PJ had contacted them. They told me no. I tried to find out if they had surveillance cameras but they told me that they had been out of order for two years."
The PJ confirmed having been contacted by the taxi driver and his witness statement taken at the time. But these claims (from Mr Castela) had been rejected after verification.
Im sure there is something in the PJ files about this as I came across once searching for something else

The question is, if it's true, who was the girl they were with? After all, someone died in that apartment. So if the girl they were with was Madeleine - who died in 5A?

A taxi driver who could help solve the mystery of Madeleine McCann’s disappearance has been ignored by Portuguese police, it was revealed today.
Speaking from his home in Vila Real de Santo Antonio, he added: "Only when I heard about Madeleine going missing and seeing her picture on the TV did I contact the police as the little girl in the back of my taxi had that same distinct mark in her eye as Madeleine does."
Ah well that old chestnut![]()
Mr McCann, 43, said: “I think the most important thing is that a lot of the investigation opportunities are in Portugal.
Well Imagine that![]()
His wife, 44, added: “It’s certainly the best way that we’re going to find Madeleine, and who took her. If people want to find Madeleine, and want to find the person who took her, then we need the case to be re-opened.”
She is clever isn't she![]()
The officer leading Scotland Yard’s review of the original investigation into Madeleine’s disappearance spoke last week of his belief that the case can still be solved and said there is evidence she could still be alive.
Detective Chief Inspector Andy Redwood said the Metropolitan Police would like the case to be re-opened, but stressed that the decision was one for Portugal.
Mr McCann said: “The only way everyone will be able to move on is for the case to be solved, and that is for Madeleine to be found and the perpetrators brought to justice. Until then it’s not going to go away. It can’t go away.”

At the pages 801 and the following, an information was worked relative to a sighting done by a professional taxi driver.
{Followed by this which I'm not sure is related)
Also relative to the individuals who do this type of professional work and who have their headquarters in Praia da Luz, page 818, we talked with them but nothing of relevant for the process was determined.

ETA: False alarm, it seems unrelated, proper page is 807
