The sitting room curtains

However, what I'd like to know is did Bundleman supposedly leave from this route?

And how was this entrance blinds/door found when Kate Mc went to check and found Madeleine missing?

From experience of carrying my daughter in the way that bundleman supposedly did, I can barely manage to turn the light switch off let alone open doors or fiddle with curtains. Its extremely difficult to do anything with your hands in that position. But maybe that's just me.

This topic just serves to prove that the 'evidence' and witness statements are seriously flawed.
The Tapas 7 weren't in on the real story at all imo, they must initially have been told what to say. All the shutters were closed would highlight the one shutter that wasn't. Until it became clear that didn't work. RM clearly forgot what lie she had to tell, I think she is the only one to be so specific about the patio doors.
I'd have to check, but I think the patio doors all opened on the 4th or the 5th of May, before that they were closed.

Not only does abductor battle with closed curtains on his way in, he also closes them on his way out. Oh and he also closes the two gates and the patio doors.  You would think he had all the time in the world.

The window shutters of the McCann’s apartments were closed. The patio door that they used to enter the apartment also had its shutter closed. In order to enter they had to raise the shutter.

At about 21.00 they were all seated at the restaurant. At 21.05 Gerry went to check on his children and returned minutes later. Jane also went to heck on her children before returning.

Bumping this thread as never realised that Rachel and others had to lift the shutters on the patio doors to enter the apartment? 

There were no shutters? 

Did she mean curtains?
Or was it a slip of the tongue?

My concern was that why was it spoken about "shutters" 
when there was non? 

I do stand to be corrected if they are the same type of shutters.

even more so that her mother suggested that they leave the doors unlocked for her to get out, should she wake, and meet them at the Tapas bar.

It would be cold ( or was it warm ? ) 

She would be more likely to sob her heart out than bravely set out into the street she was an almost 4 year old for god's sake ! 

Which just goes to show what utter bilge both Kate and MWT talk

Verdi wrote:The purpose of a shutter is not only to control the interior temperature but as security.  They are operated from the interior, you can't open or close from the exterior, any more than you can a window - the mere notion is ridiculous.  If there story is to be believe, the patio widow/door shutter would have been left open to facilitate the parents and their friends checking the children via the open patio door. 

What is clear is that the McCanns and their friends needed an opportunist abductor to explain Madeleine's disappearance.  They kicked off by claiming the shutter to the children's bedroom had been jemmied open and the window was open - according to Kate McCann and her swooshing curtain tale.  This ripping yarn they spread far and wide via their friends and family and contacts back at Blighty.

There was no evidence of forced entry into apartment 5a so they had to invent another version - the unlocked patio door!  Why Kate McCann continues to this day cultivating the open shutter/window swooshing curtain nonsense is another matter altogether.  Either she's been set up as the sacrificial lamb or it's a cunning plan for the future when their defence can claim diminished responsibility, should the proverbial hit the fan, or she really is mentally unstable so is allowed to ramble on without restraint.

The whole story is such nonsense it's not even worthy of attention.  I've known parents to leave their children in a hotel room whilst they go to dinner for an hour or so and I've known parents who use a night childcare service whist they go off for a bit of adult time.  Never ever have I come across a parent that would leave three children under the age of four years, alone at night in a strange environment, an apartment with an unlocked door!  You wouldn't do it at home let alone on holiday!

For security of your precious children and your personal belongings, you would shut/lock the patio door, lower the shutter, check all windows are closed and shutters down throughout the apartment and you would leave by the main door and lock it!

Geeez!

Gerry broke the shutter mechanism to the door/window in their bedroom.
