TIMELINES, CHECKING ,PHOTOGRAPHS AND THE EVENTS OF 3RD MAY

This is a good time I think to create a source for every interview made by Madeleine's parents in which they refer to the events of the 3rd May.

Please give the source for each interview. I will start it off below.

On this occasion the distance is 50 m but 70 m on foot, never seen so much insistence on this distance, which sounds a lot longer in imperial: 164 feet is 50 meter and 70 meter is a very respectable 229.7 feet.
Bit of a slog after all.

Thank you Candyfloss, but I thought it would be interesting to see interviews because they are instantly accessible AND IN THEIR OWN WORDS-useful for anyone browsing this site....

Regarding MM and the 6pm tennis match on 3/5/07

GM 10/5/07 witness statement - 'After her arrival (for tea), MADELEINE dined, having finished at 17H30. After 17H30 they went to the apartment, the deponent having entered by the main door, which he did not lock while he was inside the residence. KATE and the children entered by the back door, after this had been opened from the inside by the deponent. They bathed the children, the deponent having left at 18H00 for a tennis game only for men, which was attended by: DAN, the tennis instructor; JULIAN, with whom he had played tennis several times; and CURTIS, with whom he had also played before. During the afternoon of that day, the rest of the group, including the children, were at the beach, having returned at 18H30, the time at which he saw DAVID PAYNE next to the tennis court. DAVID went to visit KATE and the children and returned close to 19H00, trying to convince the deponent to continue to play tennis, which he refused, as he had already been plying for about an hour [ ] At around 19H00, he made his way to the apartment, finding KATE and the children playing on the sofa.

I don't know which tennis match is included in the reconstruction, because iirc, KM said she ran to the apartment for her camera if it was during Madeleine's mini tennis lesson and so KM would not have been playing then. And regarding the tennis on the 3rd May, wasn't MM at the creche during GM and KM's match in the afternoon? And I don't think MM was present at the 6pm men's tennis either.

What I think is interesting is she qualifies the picture with the last four words " "that sort of pictures". Does this mean there are more pictures and maybe why the discrepancy over who took the picture?

Rachael Oldfield : Question“The third of May, are you able to summarise the days activities”?

Reply “Yeah, the day was actually, it was different to the others because, well it was warmer weather wise, erm we went to the Millennium for breakfast as usual,....

....erm we did that every day, Gerry and Kate didn’t, it was just too far for them to go with the twins, so they didn’t ever go for breakfast up there,

I think apart from the first morning, erm so Matt, Grace and I went up to the Millennium, there was nobody else there from our group, erm and just as we were finishing and leaving, Russell arrived with Ella and Evie, erm Jane, because their tennis lesson had been cancelled the day before,

Jane was in the, stayed back at the Ocean Club to start her lesson, cos that started at nine, erm and so I took Grace to the crèche and Matt stayed with Russell, erm and they took Ella, I think they took Ella down to her crèche and then the, Matt wanted to go down to the beach and go sailing, erm so I took Grace to crèche and then erm Matt and I were having a tennis lesson at eleven o’clock,...

....and so basically it just, you know I just sat by the pool and read my book, sort of waiting for the tennis lesson and Kate, Kate was there and we sat together and had you know, chatted a bit, erm and then I think Diane might have been there as well, remember chatting to Kate cos we were talking about schools and that sort of thing,....

....erm and holidays, erm and then I think it must have been at about ten thirty, Madeleine and Ella and their sort of group came to have a tennis lesson as part of their crèche activities,....

......erm and Kate didn’t have her camera and Jane was there then as well and Jane took some photos of both Madeleine and Ella, that’s one, that poster of Madeleine with the tennis balls, that sort of pictures”.
