There was one occasion, on Thursday, 3rd of May 2007, around 10H30 in the morning, where she cried at the launch of the yellow safety boat in the ocean where all the children were sailing. She was scared and fearful and cried on my lap “I am scared, I am scared.”

Madeleine never mentioned that she had cried in the absence of her parents
nor did she tell me anything of significance relating to feeling sad or something relevant that would cause me to worry.

--She replies that
since that date and until Thursday, the 03rd of May, 2007, she was with Madeleine every day, but is unable to specify if she was present on the Sunday morning.

--She further refers that
during the time lapse that Madeleine remained under her care, at no time did the little girl seem sad or unsatisfied, having produced no comments whatsoever about being angry, sad about anyone or discontented at anything. SAILING?

--Since the beginning, when she received the little girl, it appeared to her that her parents were affable and showed their interest in her well being, as they cared to inquire what Madeleine did and even accompanied some of the child’s outdoors activities.



14 of April, 2008

 I met Gerry more often as he would drop Madeleine off with greater frequency than Kate.

(Note: Gerry dropped off and picked Madeleine up mostly at the beginnning of the week , Kate did the same later in the week - a comparable amout of times )



 I visited the family in their home at their invitation to see how they were getting along in November of 2007.



On Thursday the 3rd of May 2007, I remember Gerry having accompanied Madeleine to the club between 9h15 and 9h20 in the morning. (9.10 GM) I do not remember who came to pick her up for lunch (12.25 KM)  but after she returned in the afternoon (2.50 KM) for a dive/swim. These activities were realized with the other children. On this day I remember that we sailed and
I saw friends of the McCanns on the beach, David and Jane.

NOTE: (Fiona? Jane playing tennis and watching the mini tennis at 10.30am according to Russell - Jane claims they were both at the beach and saw Madeleine and Ella at kids club sailing)


Around 14h45 Madeleine returned to the Minis Club on top of the reception but I do not remember who accompanied her.(2.50 KM)


This afternoon we went swimming. Kate went to get Madeleine from the Tapas Bar area and according to what I remember she was wearing sporting clothes and I assumed that she was practicing some form of athletics. It was around 15h25/18h00. (5.25-600?)  I think that Gerry was playing tennis.

(NOTE: Went refers to someone 'going' as opposed to 'arriving' Translation maybe?)


Gerry claims to have been at high tea and saw the twins and Madeleine arrive at 4.45pm and 5.00pm

Catriona did not see him  and presumed he was playing tennis. (why?)

Kate said he had continued playing with Julian after 4.45pm but he was there when she returned  from her jog on the beach



I did not see Kate or Gerry that night. The next time I saw them was on Saturday at breakfast,
as on Friday I spent most of the morning with the Portuguese police giving a statement.

NOTE: Catriona statement above was on Sunday

On Saturday I was next to the tapas Bar zone when Gerry and Kate appeared. They were still agitated and anxious for news.



There are several occasions to question Catriona's statement but considering she met with the McCanns the day before her statement and again in Rothley in November, prior to the Rogatories leaves the possibility that details were discussed.

It does not CONFIRM there was anything untoward discussed but it MAY have
