Where is the proof Madeleine was alive on Thursday evening?

I compiled these images to show how the perception of employees regarding Madeleine's personality is very different to what we have heard was reality.

Also, how similar she was in appearance to the other tapas children.

We KNOW she was mistaken by Miguel Mattias at the Paraiso as he was convinced it was Madeleine dancing with her father and we know that Madeleine was not there as per the CCTV pics so he saw one of the OTHER tapas children.

One of the cooks claimed to have seen Madeleine every day at the creche next to the tapas but that was for the younger children...Madeleine went to the other creche near reception.

I cannot find ONE credible witness statement that proves Madeleine was alive after Sunday.

Maybe these images etc show how easy it was for the witnesses to be mistaken

Jane Tanner referred to Ella as shy.

00.45 4078 “Madeleine, how much of Madeleine did you see?”
Reply “Not that much really because only really because she didn’t come to breakfast, so
we saw the other children at breakfast and their lunch, but because they tended to
have breakfast and lunch separately, the only time I really saw her was at, erm, after
high tea when we were playing in the play area, was the main times that I probably
saw her during the week”.
4078 “And how would you describe Madeleine?”
Reply “Very, she was very lively, a very lively, happy, a happy little girl really. Because,
probably a bit [color=red]of, we were almost a bit worried how Exxxx and Madeleine would get
on, because Exxxx’s quite shy and and sensitive and Madeleine’s very, erm, I don’t know
whether you can call a child vivacious, but, you know, sort of very, erm, outgoing
and. But, I mean, they did, they got on and they had a whale of a time.

Cecilia Paula Dias Firmino do Carmo PR Millenium Saw Madeleine at breakfast Mistaken identity? - saw MBM at breakfast when she worked on Tue, Wed & thurs, but does not specify exactly when seen (Note: conflicting evidence on where breakfast was taken by the family, and when) - Probably mistaken identity as McCanns did not go to breakfast during the week when she was working [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] Cecilia Paula Dias Firmino do Carmo Date/Time: 2007/05/06 22H00 Occupation: Public Relations Place of Work: Millenium restaurant, OC. When asked, she says that she knows the parents, the siblings and Madeleine. She received them for breakfast on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, she does not know whether they went for breakfast on Sunday or Monday, as these were her days off. She says that breakfast was served between 08.00 and 10.00 and that the McCanns would arrive between 08.00 and 09.00. She says that the McCanns appeared to be a normal family and that the relation between the members of the family was very good. Madeleine appeared to be very attached to her father and was always clinging on to him. Given her public relations function she was always very nice to the guests and would get involved with the children, saying that Madeleine was very shy and did not respond to her. She says that the only contact she had with guests was at the entrance to the Millenium restaurant, she did not have a view of the tables or the Buffet area.

In spite of having already observed many photos of Madeleine he claims that he could not state with any certainty that he had seen her at any moment, the same goes for whom he now knows to be her twin siblings. The specifics of his work do not leave him with much time to focus his attention on the children that were around, although as he has stated previously he worked with children of Madeleine’s approximate age for almost four years. Since Madeleine’s disappearance, I have seen her picture many times in the media, but I cannot honestly affirm that I remember seeing her in person before the disappearance from the Ocean Club. There were many children and I never paid much attention to any of them.

She only noticed Madeleine and not her father, and nothing seemed abnormal or unusual. ? She is not sure whether during the morning Madeleine’s group had outdoor activities, mainly at the pool; she does remember that around 1230 Madelew’s (sic) father went to fetch her for lunch. (Kate picked up Madeleine) When questioned, she states that on Wednesday May 2, her group and Madeleine’s group went to the beach, but she is not sure if Madeleine was in the group or not, and does not remember having seen anybody specifically taking direct and close-up photographs of the children. She remembers that during the afternoon of May 3 Madeleine was at the Mini Club, but she does not remember at what time she arrived, and if on that day Madeleine accompanied the other children at 1645 as was customary. She is also not sure whether her parents joined her during the snack, as was customary.

Elisa Dias Romao - saw MBM every lunchtime, worked Tue, Wed & Thurs Non Specific Elisa Dias Romao - saw MBM every lunchtime, worked Tue, Wed & Thurs - Confusing statement but claims this -On this same day at around 17H30, she remembers that she left the reception to collect her earnings and she does not remember having seen Madeleine or her parents enter or in the interior of the TAPAS. [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] Regarding the group linked to the couple and the missing child and her two siblings, she only became aware afterwards that Madeleine’s siblings were twins. The witness remembers seeing them in the Garden Club, near the pool and the Tapas restaurant. They appeared a normal family, as did the entire group. She did not notice any strange or suspicious details. When questioned, the witness clarifies that she worked at the Garden Club reception on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays, at a time covering the lunch hour. She remembers seeing the couple with their children as they had to pass the reception to leave the area. She next saw them head in the direction of the apartment where the witness believes they had lunch. She believes that they left always between 12H30 and 13H00. Around 14H00 the couple would return around 14H00, in fact, most of the couples would return their children to the crèche around this time. She does not know if the three McCann children were together given their different ages. When questioned, the witness states that the parents would spend the majority of the time inside the Garden Club, in activities such as playing tennis, as they were a group of four couples (the reservation was always made for 9 adults). They would only all meet together for dinner. The couple would only leave the Garden Club after the children’s tea, which was served by the nannies in that area around 17H00/18H00. It was only after this period that they would leave with the children in the direction of their respective apartments. Questioned, states that she was left with the notion that the four couples always took their children when they went out or that they (the children) never left the area without their parents. Her normal working day was from 09.00 – 17.00 and therefore she was never present when the group was dining. Her working day was normal that day and she did not see anything of interest to the investigation. On this same day at around 17H30, she remembers that she left the reception to collect her earnings and she does not remember having seen Madeleine or her parents enter or in the interior of the TAPAS.

No 'credible' sightings of Madeleine does not prove she wasn't there but they do not prove she WAS

Another fascinating collation of details HiDeHo.

The likeness in the last pic has always interested me and the sunglasses make them look even more alike.

There isn't any for Thursday.

Or Wednesday, Tuesday, Monday, or weekend for that matter.

And may one say, that apart from the main nine witnesses who would obviously say that they can collectively prove that Madeleine was there, and that she has definitely has been abducted; the forensics officers would not be able to back them up and stand shoulder to shoulder with the Tapas 9 on this. Because they could not find any indisputable proof that Madeleine had ever set foot into apartment 5A. It must not have been on any clothes, shoes, nor the bedding she slept in on the May 3rd.

Indeed, it has been alleged that the only way the parents could produce anything at all with Madeleine's DNA on, was for Gerald McCann to trek back to their Rothley home to recover a pillowcase. Which he managed to do at the same time as his wallet was stolen by an evil perverted monster. However, the evil perverted monster thief made sure that the wallet was eventually returned to McCann.

By some circuitous route no doubt, but one is always ready to give credit where credit is due. Therefore one will say that this was very nice and goodly of the evil perverted monster thief. And if anybody ever finds out who this evil perverted monster thief is, please would you explain how very lucky they are to have got off with this.

Team McCann could very easily have sent people to hunt them down and flush them out from wherever they were hiding, and possibly have had him locked up for many years. They have the power to track and hunt people down for repeating what the PJ have said on websites, or for simply being on holiday in Praia Da Luz at the same time as they were! So getting away wth nabbing a McCann wallet is pretty damned good in my estimation.

Peas in a pod, YNG. They are like peas in a pod.

O'Donnell found all the little girls to be pink and pretty and quite indistiguishable from one another. Not that she and Wilkins had the greatest powers of observation of course.

The teeth are quite remarkably alike, if only because it is extremely rare to find childrens' teeth so similar whilst looking at every child's teeth in the world. Never mind in a very small group of people who know each other.

Judge, I differ from you slightly, regarding Sunday.

I do believe that the cleaners daughter saw her outside the apartment on the way up to the Paynes for lunch.


I would consider this reasonable proof that Madeleine did not sleep in her bed Thursday and possibly Wednesday night also (cleaner made bed on Wednesday morning)

Goncalo Amaral interview

What about Maddie's bed?

It carries no signs that anyone was in it. Nor does the chair or the bed under the window. And there are no imprints from strangers

Aye, was justing thinking the very same...uncanny likeness

If you saw all, or any, of these three tapas children in and around the Ocean Club (as well as other blonde haired grls)

ONE of the last people to see missing Madeleine McCann has told how she danced with her dad on the seafront just hours before she disappeared.

Restaurant owner Miguel Matias, who has not spoken out until now, said the McCann family seemed like a perfectly normal family.

Kate and Gerry spent an hour at restaurant Paraiso on the beach of Praia da Luz with their holiday friends and children, who ate their dinner there.

Dad Gerry played with Madeleine in the sand in front of the balcony, pushing her on a swing before calling her over for food and an ice-cream.

Mr Matias said: "It was a perfectly normal, relaxed, happy, family scene. The little girl was even dancing on the esplanade with her dad to the sound of music that was playing.

Madeleine wasn't there...It was one of the other tapas children he saw.

It is allowed m'dear

And one can quite easily see why you would say this. Have you ever thought of working for Leicester police or any other police force who is having difficulty in understanding why Amaral has felt forced to write a book to tell us the truth, or why Tony Bennett continues to batte on in the face of all kinds of sick and perverse threats and intimidation?

40 years ago, my ex did a 'Be a Private Detective' course by mail.

He did all the 'following' of 'suspects....I did the exam.

He passed.

Odd how everyone he followed was heading for the pub though... [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

Maybe I could start my own agency

(know anyone looking for PI with credentials in someone else's name?)[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

very un'cann'y resemblance if you pardon the pun! Very easily mixed up for sure.....unless the staff had one to one communication with any of the children you would not be able to easily distinguish them from one another unless a specific incident happened, ie. one of them fell over, cut themselves or was crying excessively, you would pass them off for one another easily.

and this is the problem and would explain why so many different photos were released, instead of one good one taken that week.
