http://www.mccannfiles.com/id296.htmlA third witness said the turning point of the investigation came following a tearful call from Mrs McCann who, after a dream, told police where to search for her daughter's body. Police Inspector Ricardo Paiva, who acted as a liason between the McCanns and Portuguese police in the days following their daughter's disappearance told the court he had received the phone call in late July 2007. "Kate called me, she was alone as Gerry was away and she was crying," he said. "She said she had dreamt that Madeleine was on a hill and that we should search for her there. "She gave the impression that she thought she was dead – it was a turning point for us." The senior detective said the land was searched but nothing was found. "That is when we decided to send the specialist dogs in. British police informed us about how they could detect the scent of death." He admitted that the police had been suspicious of the McCanns from the start of the investigation. "They disobeyed our request to keep quiet about the details of their daughter's disappearance while we conducted our investigation. Instead they turned it into a media circus and that gave rise to some suspicions." ------------------------------------------------------------------ July 26th 2007 Gerry overshoots PdL to Vila do Bispo (7 miles west of PdL at 7.05pm (approx 90 min drive from Faro Airport and 21 minute drive from PdL)During Gerry's trip to Washington, Kate had phoned Inspector Ricardo Paiva about her dream of Madeleine on hill Is it possible he/they drove to Vila do Bispo to check a specific area for signs of disturbance immediately after he returned to Portugal? http://www.viladobispouncovered.com/-Vila do Bispo is a small town 22km to the west of Lagos and the centre of the municipality which includes towns such as Sagres, Budens and Raposeira
-Vila do Bispo is only a short distance from the coast - the nearest beach on the western atlantic coast is Praia do Castelejo (a favourite
with surfers) and the beaches at Sagres are only about 8km. Between Sagres and Burgau, along the southern coastline, are many more quiet beaches which are well worth finding if you want to 'get away' from it all.
-There are beaches that hardly anyone visits along this part of the south coast

Kates Diary
TUESDAY, JULY 17: Finding it very difficult to talk to people from home, unless they are directly involved. It is difficult to show an interest in other people's lives and children at the moment. I know it sounds horrible, selfish and egocentric, but at the moment I can only think about Madeleine. I don't want to hear about anyone having babies or getting pregnant (mainly because it was all so very difficult for us). I'm worried about turning into a bitter, angry woman, that would be horrible. Please God bring Madeleine back and let this nightmare end.
Please don't let our lives be destroyed by this. Please don't let them hurt Madeleine.
Earlier today I found Amelie in our room looking at photos of Madeleine and she said: "I miss my sister. Where's my sister?"
I couldn't believe it. I didn't realise Amelie's vocabulary and use of words was so good. I just said: "I miss her too. We'll find her soon." What a little sweetheart!
She then turned her attention to something else.
We took turns jumping into the water with the kids, which was great fun. After a DVD and a story it was the twins' bedtime which didn't take too long tonight. Madeleine, we are all with you darling.
Keep strong, be patient, we'll keep on going till we find you. I love you so much. We hope and pray we'll see you soon.
Goodnight, my darling. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.
July 17th... First ping of the day, in Lagos, at 09:55. Next at 10:27 back in Luz. Possibility of travel. Gap between 21:15 and 23:10

17th - Only Gerry had a single ping in Lagos this morning (possibility of travel) | Madeleine has been missing for 75 days today and last night Kate and I attended
mass to pray for her. On the back of the latest poster launch with Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows, the extensive media coverage and the millions of people who are desperate to find Madeleine, we are still very hopeful that Madeleine will be safely returned. As parents, Kate and I cannot contemplate giving up the search for our daughter.

WEDNESDAY, JULY 18: It was suggested that Madeleine is dead and buried in an area close to the beach, behind the cliff.
What can I say? I feel my body's on the verge of collapse. How much pain and emotion can one body take? I had a bad afternoon. I was very worried, desperate, extremely on edge. I don't think I can take any more of this, I really can't. How much longer will this suffering go on? I need Madeleine ALIVE.
July 18th... Travel with gaps, Consecutive;
09:35 Luz Centro
10:22 Lagos
10:27 Bensafrim Centro
{ 4 hour gap }
14:23 Luz Centro
Last ping of the day at 20:57

18/7 : Trip to Portimao. Activated Luz at 09:33, then a gap until 11:12 in Portimao Central, followed by a ping at Tres Bicos DCS DCS 1 (in Portimao ?) at 13:20 and then back in Luz Central at 15:22
Early evening trip to Raposeira/Burgau area. Luz at 16:10 the a gap until 18:11 at Burgau 1 quickly followed by a ping at Raposeira 1 (around 5 miles West of Burgau) at 18:12. Back in Luz Central at 18:39. |
18th - Only Kate travels to Raposeira/Burgau area this evening | Pretty busy day. Started off with a few phone calls and answering e-mails. We had a longer meeting than usual with the Portuguese police because I had gone back to London last week . We have a good relationship with them and, as well as the British officers who are in Portugal, we can feed any information sent to us back in
to the enquiry through an English Speaking detective.
The investigation, as everyone has seen recently, is still very active. There is also a lot of labour intensive detective work going on behind the scenes. Kate and I hope and pray every day for a breakthrough and cannot consider going home without her
Kate
From that registration until 18th, all the records occurred on the repeaters that serve Luz.
On this day occurred another movement to Portimao.
At
11:12:16 occurs the registration of "entry to the city" on the repeater
"Portimao Centro 2".
Between this record and the previous one there is an interval of about one hour and forty minutes, this record having been made on the antenna
"Luz Centro 2".
The first activation indicator that Kate will have returned to Luz is registered at
15:22:14 - "Luz Centro 2".
Still on this day Kate, very probably accompanied by Gerald, again left Luz, having activated at
18:11:16 and
18:12:24 the antennae
"Burgau 1" and
"Raposeira 1" respectively.
It points to Gerald having accompanied her, not by the fact of his mobile phone activating any antenna in that area, but due to the fact of his mobile phone being without any contact for about 45 minutes, between
18:01:55 and
18:44:46.
According to the computer program "Microsoft AutoRoute 2007", the distance between Luz and Raposeira can be covered in 16 minutes, which fits into the interval of time in which there exist no contacts on the mobile phone of Gerald.
It is added further the fact that the coverage area of the antennae permits a certain distance to the place in which it is installed (see footnote 3).
The return to Praia da Luz after the trip to the village of Raposeira was observed at
18:39:42 |

From 19th, the McCanns began to move with greater frequency to the triangular area of Sagres- Raposeira-Budens.
July 19th... 09:14 ping in Luz followed by a gap of 2 and a quarter hours and then 3 pings in Lagos (first two in Central) at 11:28, 11:38 and 11:46. Back in Luz at 11:49 and then Luz Centro at 12:14.
Trip to Budens/West of Luz area (close to Salema), consecutive;

Rogue Budens ping at 18:18 (travel not possible)
Trip to Faro airport, leaving Luz around 20:30 - 20:45 and arriving at the airport at 21:51 and back in Luz at 22:58 |
19/7 Another trip to Raposeira/Burgau area. Luz Central at 16:20, followed by 17:09 & 17:18 at Burgau 1 and then a ping at 17:21 in Raposeira. Back in Luz Central at 17:41 (2 pings at this time) which is then followed by a gap until 21:28.
|
19th - Only Gerry pinging in Lagos this morning. Only Gerry travels to Faro airport this evening | Kate
On 19th, the records of the mobile phone of Kate again indicate a journey to a locality that is in the coverage area of the repeater "Raposeira 1"
(17:21:12).
At 17:24:08 the mobile phone of Gerald activates the antenna called "Sagres".
From this one infers that the two were together in that area of the Algarve.
Until arriving at that place the mobile phone of Kate presents records at 16:58:18 and
16:58:22 on the antenna
"Budens".
The return to
Luz will have occurred about
17:20 -
17:40: at
17:41:24 occurs the first record on the antenna
"Luz Centro 2", from the mobile phone of Kate, while the record from the mobile phone of
Gerald, in this return to Luz, occurs at
17:27:21
I was glad to see the messages of support page updated today after a few days with some technical hitches. Kate and I spent some time reading through them and your messages do help us, especially on days when we are feeling particularly low. Our search for Madeleine is nothing without public support and we would like to give our thanks to everyone who has helped us in any way over the last 77 days.
The kids are really enjoying spending time with their granny who they have not seen for two months.
They particularly enjoyed her mashed potatoes tonight
which brought a big smile to my mums face. The last couple of days we have spent an hour or two by a nearby pool and their confidence in the water has really improved.
http://www.mccannpjfiles.co.uk/PJ/PHONE_TEXTS.htm#oatp11
After this return, Gerald's phone comes to activate antennae of Lagos at 11:28:35, 11:38:29 and 11:46:24 on 19th. Ending up by returning to antenna "Praia da Luz" at 11:49:28.
On this day it leaves this time in the direction of Sagres, activating on the way the antenna "Budens" at 16:58:18 and 16:58:22. At 17:24:08 one sees the record on antenna "Sagres". It returns to Praia da Luz where, at 17:27:21, it receives a signal from the antenna called "Praia da Luz Centre".
It should be noted that these two records deserve very close attention. The time interval of 3 minutes would mean that Gerald would be obliged to travel the 27,5 Km that separate Sagres and Luz at a speed exceeding 250 km/h. Given the time of day and time of year, we can assume that there was some traffic on the road, which would preclude such speeds. Against this background, there would appear to have been, perhaps, errors in the records submitted by Vodafone.
After that return to the village of Luz, a new record comes up on the antenna "Budens" at 18:18:57, but given the difference between this record and the previous record (18:17:28 - "Praia da Luz Centre") of barely 1 minute and 29 seconds, it cannot be viable to travel about 10.5 km in that period of time. To do so one would have to travel at a speed of 420 km/h. There is still an hypothesis of being at the extreme edge of the coverage area of the antennae? and to get from one to the other during that period of time.
? According to Engineer Sotero the coverage area of the antennae will vary, depending on the morphology of the terrain, the existence of obstacles (buildings, trees, etc.). However, the standard coverage area of antennae installed in cities or villages having enough inhabitants is about 1.5 kilometres, and outside those localities it is about 5 to 8 km. There can also be situations in which a mobile phone receives a signal from an antenna located at a distance greater, as opposed to that nearest to it. For that it is enough that the nearest antenna is in a valley and that the more distant antenna and the apparatus [mobile phone] are both on top of a substantial ground elevation diametrically opposite each other.
Still on this day [19th] are activated antennae going to and returning from the airport: "Lagos" - 21:01:44; "Boliqueime" - 21:24:44; "Montenegro" - 21:50:50; "Faro Airport "- 21:51:35 and "Praia da Luz Centre" - 22:58:07. Once again this exit to the airport points to Gerald having gone to the airport to receive or to bid farewell to a friend or a relative.

| Kate
From the return until 22nd there exist no records outside of the antennae of Luz.
Kate and I spent a few hours with our campaign manager discussing longer term strategies to maintain Madeleines profile, in case she is not found soon. We had a long conference call with two organisations that are keen to help us with the campaign but there is still quite a bit of work to be done before this venture can be announced.
We also managed an early morning run together, thanks to my mum supervising the kids breakfast. We made it to the top of the cliffs overlooking Praia da Luz in 16 minutes although we did have to walk at the steepest part. I had my first visit to a nearby beach for a
while with the kids late on this afternoon whilst Kate took the opportunity to get through lots of e-mails. The twins took great delight in burying me in the sand, building (well mainly knocking down) sandcastles and trying to jump out of the waves, which were tiny although the water was certainly colder than I was expecting.

Kate McCann's diary
with many thanks to Joana Morais blogSATURDAY, JULY 21: I continue to feel very low. I miss Madeleine so much. It's as if a ray of light has disappeared from my life. There's no doubt that Madeleine is that ray and I miss her more than words can say.
We just wrote our blogs/diaries. Once again those dark thoughts returned, linked with feelings of anxiety, fear and worry. How much longer will we have to cope with this pain?
My poor, poor Madeleine. Why, Lord? My heart aches with so much love for you, Madeleine. I just hate being without you.
If I could go back in time, I would. I have clear recollections of that night. You were so tired. After your baths, you sat on my knee and put my wedding ring on your finger. We (me, you, Sean and Amelie) read "Mog" in the living area and then "if you're happy and you know it". We all sat down on your bed.
Then you counted the squares on the last page. You were always counting things on pages...always laying your head on your pillow at the same time every night. Madeleine you make me so happy. I just want you home. I love you so much. XXXXXXX
Kate
From the return until 22nd there exist no records outside of the antennae of Luz.

| 22nd... First activity just after 5am with 3 pings at 05:02. Next ping is at Arge IC4 (en-route to the Airport) at 08:09. Then pings at Sobral and one at Montenegro before pinging the airport itself at 09:00. Then another 3 pings there with the last being at 10:06, the last activity in Portugal until Gerry returns from his trip to Washington. |
22/7 Trip to the East (destination unknown). Luz at 07:54, Tapadinha VLA TR DCS 2 at 08:13 followed by 4 pings in Porches at 08:16 - 08:17 then S Joao Venda (3, DCS 1, then 2) between 08:33 - 08:35. Then a gap until 11:09 back at Luz.
Trip to Lagos in the afternoon. Luz at 13:21 followed by several pings in Lagos from 14:28 to 16:16. Back in Luz at 16:49 followed by a gap until 19:22 |
22nd - Only Kate is in Lagos in the afternoon, with Gerry away to the States | Kate
From the return until 22nd there exist no records outside of the antennae of Luz.
On this day in view of the records of Kate and Gerald one is granting that Kate had travelled to the airport to drop off Gerald who, according to some newspapers on 23rd, journeyed to the USA.
Effectively, the records of the mobile phone of
Gerald lead to to the airport (antenna
"Faro Aeroporto"), while those of
Kate only lead to
S.Joao das Vendas, a locality close to Faro.
Her mobile phone presents records at
8:33:27 and
8:33:33 on the antenna
"S.Joao Venda 3" at
8:34:27,
8:34:32 and
8:34:37 on the antenna
"S.Joao Venda DCS 1", and at
8:35:23 on the antenna
"S.Joao Venda 2".
This last record is followed by one made on the antenna
Luz Centro 2" at
11:09:57.
About 3 hours later the records return to other repeaters that do not serve the village of Luz, at
14:28:48, beginning a series of 10 registrations on antennae that serve the city of
Lagos.
The return to the antennae of the village occurred at
16:49:54.
Spent the whole day travelling from the Algarve to Washington where I will be visiting the National and International Centers for Missing and Exploited Children and meeting politicians involved in recent legislation on missing children. The flights for our campaign manager and myself were kindly donated by an airline.
There is a very upsetting story on the front page of a British National Newspaper today. The headline suggests that Kate and I face prosecution for neglecting our children by dining 50 yards away and checking on them regularly. We know that there has been criticism in some quarters of our actions but at the time, we felt our actions were responsible. We were essentially performing our own baby listening service although we have talked of the guilt we felt at now being there at the moment Madeleine was taken.
We have been advised that legally our behaviour was well within the bounds of responsible parenting and subsequently been assured that no action will be taken. These types of criticism, particularly at this stage, as well as being hurtful are extremely unhelpful in the search for Madeleine. From the moment we discovered Madeleine missing Kate and I have done everything in our power to try and help get her back.
Our opinion now is completely clouded by what has happened to us and of course has sent shock waves through thousands of families. The real issue is that we should not have a constant fear of abduction of our children from their bedrooms,
gardens or streets for that matter.
What Kate and I did was at worst naïve and no one should forget that the real criminal is the predator who has taken a completely innocent child in such a premeditated fashion. It is this act that has wreaked havoc on our family and affected millions of other people |

MONDAY, JULY 23: I got up at 7.00 and went running. I was surrounded by a pack of dogs (more or less 12)—it really wasn't a nice experience. I went to the flat, high part of the cliff as I felt really alone and a little frightened. Please God, don't let Madeleine be buried here. Please God, make sure she's alive. Please God, bring her back quickly to us.
I took S and A to the Kids' Club at 9.45 then I went to church to pray a little on my own.
Every single moment of happiness with Sean and Amelie, who are both so delightful, is mixed with deep sadness. All I want is Madeleine to be safe and happy again.
Baths, stories and some bedtime chaos from Sean and Amelie before I finally put them to bed at 21.15.
I spent some time on the internet reading about Sarah Payne (Roy Whiting), Eliz. Smart (Brian Mitchell) and the Peter Voisey case (he abducted a six-year-old girl from the bath in North Tyneside). Really horrible.
Night, night sweetheart. I'm trying to be positive. I need to be because I need to believe that you’re going to come back to me, so I can go back to being truly happy. I love you XXX.

The newspapers Correio da Manha 24Horas and Diraio de Noticias being consulted on 23 and 24 July, it was found that Gerald travelled alone on this occasion to Washington, USA.
Very busy day and I was almost asleep by the time I got back to the hotel so apologies for not posting the blog earlier. We started off by spending the morning at the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC). We had a tour of the NCMEC led by President Ernie Allen who has been there for 23 years and there is little he does not about missing children.
The work done at NCMEC is extremely impressive. It coordinates information for all missing children and it was the center that pushed for the implementation of the early warning missing child (AMBER) alert throughout the USA. The center was also instrumental along with the founder, John Walsh, in getting the Adam Walsh bill passed on the 25th anniversary of the young boys murder.
NCMEC officials organised a meeting with the US attorney general Gonzales at the justice department. He was already aware of Madeleine’s disappearance and has made child protection a major concern for him. I explained in a little more detail regarding Madeleine’s case and the fact that she is still missing after 81 days. He was very supportive of the campaign to keep Madeleines profile high and of the work that we are doing with NCMEC and its International division (ICMEC).
We went back to NCMEC in the afternoon and I had detailed discussions with some of the experts there regarding Madeleines disappearance. We also had a board meeting with ICMEC regarding working together on other developments in raising
the profile of missing children particularly using internet resources.
Finished the day off with an interview for Americas Most Wanted who have been following Madeleines abduction almost since the beginning. The programme is actually hosted by John Walsh and has massive viewing figures of around 12 million. |

with many thanks to Joana Morais blogTUESDAY, JULY 24: Sean and Amelie had lots of fun in the Jacuzzi—laughter galore! Carrot sticks and crisps were had by all at teatime.
Oh, darling Madeleine. It pains me to think of you—it causes me such sorrow and I have no idea how you feel. I pray to God that you are well, that you are not hurt. I pray that God keeps you safe and sound and that you're not afraid, nor in pain.
Please God, answer my prayers and please, please, please bring Madeleine back to us very soon, for our own happiness. Please God.
Madeleine, sweetheart, I love you so much. I can’t stop saying it. Night, night darling. We will keep hoping and having faith in God. XXXXXXX.
Restless
The newspapers Correio da Manha 24Horas and Diraio de Noticias being consulted on 23 and 24 July, it was found that Gerald travelled alone on this occasion to Washington, USA.
Another busy day in Washington. Started early on at NCMEC with interviews from 6.15am for the five major US TV networks morning news shows. A very serious issues programme 20-20 was also recording our visit to the America, as they will also be producing a piece on the search to find Madeleine.
Late morning we had a visit to the White House to meet with the First Lady's deputy chief of staff Sarah Armstrong. This visit was facilitated by Lady Catherine Meyer, founder of the British charity PACT, which is an affiliate of ICMEC and has done so much to raise awareness of missing children in the UK. Mrs Bush is a strong supporter of child welfare issues and is in fact an Honorary Board member of ICMEC. They were already aware of Madeleines disappearance and I took the opportunity to fill them in on my visit to Washington, particularly the work we are doing with ICMEC and the meeting we had with the attorney general. We finished with a very quick tour of the public areas in the White House which is a very impressive building and we also met one of the Presidents Scottish terriers! Immediately following the visit I did a few interviews for the British Media in front of the White House.
After a very brief lunch it was on to Capitol Hill for meetings with politicians who have been instrumental in getting the Adam Walsh BIll and others passed. We met with Democrat congressman Nick Lampson and Republican Senator Robert Shelby who both know the board members of NCMEC very well. They were both very keen to do what they could to help find Madeleine and the support during the visit we have received has been tremendous.
I spoke to Kate and the kids, whose telephone skills are developing very quickly
which is nice for me when I am away like this. Kate has stayed on in Portugal and has been keeping in touch with the police but there are no major developments to report. In the evening I managed to meet up with a friend from Glasgow who is also a cardiologist and working in the Washington area. We went for a bite to eat and it was good to sit down quietly with a familiar face for an hour or two. |

with many thanks to Joana Morais blogWEDNESDAY, JULY 25: I received some bad news last night. A friend has breast cancer and has just received her first dose of chemotherapy following surgery. Horrible. I will include her in my prayers.
At around 15.30 I went for a run. I had begun to feel restless and worried about Madeleine. It was hot and hard work, but I felt better for having gone.
We returned at around 18.15—the children's dinner and baths, our dinner.
(and the children's once again!).
Madeleine, sweetheart, you are the most important thing, the only thing that matters. Words cannot describe how I feel about you nor how restless, tormented, alone, sad and incomplete I feel.
I will continue to hope and pray that you come back to us soon but I don't want to think about how good it would be to feel something like that—not yet, at least.
I love you so, so much darling. I remember sitting watching you through the glass window when you were having your swimming lessons on a Saturday morning. There you were with your yellow swimsuit, ever so pretty and you were smiling and waving at me, and the tears rolled down my face!
I was and am still so proud of you, Madeleine, and my love for you is never-ending. I can’t stop saying how much I love you dearly. I'm going to try and stay strong for you and you have to do the same. You know we love you and we are going to keep going until we find you again.
All my love, Madeleine. Night, night. Sleep well. May God protect you. XXXXX.

Up early this morning catching up with e-mails and phone calls as well as updating the blog. Managed another early morning run, round Washington centre this time, which is quite beautiful with grand buildings and monuments separated by wide grassy areas.
I had another meeting with another congressman Mike Rogers who is an ex-FBI agent and we distributed wristbands to Nick Lampson and some of his colleagues as well as members of NCMEC
This afternoon we had a meeting with the British Ambassador at his residence to update him on our meetings. The Embassy itself is a stunning building almost rivalling the Whitehouse
Flying back to Portugal this evening to get back to the family. I
have no doubt that this visit to Washington has been extremely productive and will really help to maintain Madeleines profile. We will continue to work closely with ICMEC who have incredible experience and energy in dealing with missing children. |

26th... First activity back in Portugal, after returning from the States, comes at 16:41 at Faro Airport. However, th journey back seems to over-shoot Luz by pinging in Vila do Bispo (7 miles West of Luz).
Consecutive;
16:42 Faro Airport
17:31 Pedra De Agua
17:32 Boliqueime (27 minute drive from Faro Airport)
{ takes 49 minutes to drive from Boliqueime to Luz - Should arrive around 18:21}
19:05 Vilo do Bispo (1 hour 2 minute drive from Boliqueime and a 21 minute drive from Luz)
19:10 Budens (9 minute drive from Vilo do Bispo)
19:49 PdL Centro (14 minute drive from Budens)
Last ping of the day at 21:50
|
26/7 Trip to Faro airport during the afternoon. Last Luz ping at 15:16. Activations at the airport between 16:40 & 16:54. Then a gap until 18:24 back in Luz. |
26th - K travels to Faro to pick up G. Only Gerry pings Vilo do Bispo and Budens not long after returning from the aiport |
Kate
From that return until 15:16:41 on 26th all the entries occurred on the antennae in the village where she had resided.
On this day Kate journeyed to the airport of Faro to find Gerald.
At 16:40:50 she is under cover of the antenna
"Aeroporto-Faro 2", and at
16:54:56 (
"Aeroporto-Faro 1") still remaining in the area.
At 18:24:55 the records return to
Luz.
Analysing the records of the mobile phones of the two parents of Madeleine, it is observed that after that return to Luz, the mobile phone of
Gerald presents one entry at
19:05:21 on the antenna
"Vila do Bispo" and at
19:10:35 one entry on the antenna
"Budens".
But all the records of the mobile phone of Kate occur on the antenna called "Luz Centro 2".
But there exists a gap in the records between
18:24:55 and
19:48:38 without any entry.
As the route of going to
Vila do Bispo and returning to
Praia da Luz is about
40 km, and that an average speed of 90 km/h permits [that distance] to be covered in about of 25 minutes, it is probable that Kate could have accompanied given that the time gap without registrations is approximately 1 hour and 25 minutes.

The return to Portugal occurred on 26th. The first activation happened at 16:41:06 on the antenna "Faro Airport". One minute and twenty seconds later the same antenna came to be activated, being followed by the antennae: "Pedra de ?ua"; "Boliqueime"; "Vila do Bispo"; "Budens" and "Praia da Luz" at 17:31:23, 17:32:27, 19:05:21, 19:10:35 and 19:49:38, respectively.
Kate went to the airport to meet her husband.
Given the [above] records it would seem that Gerald McCann will not have gone directly to the village where he resided while he was in our country, having gone to Vila do Bispo, only then he returned to the referred village at, or before 19:49:38.

SUMMARY (approx)
Gerry returns from Washington
Kate leaves PdL around 3.15pm and arrives at the airport just before 4.50pm
Gerry's arrives about 4.40pm
Kate's phone doesn't ping until 6.24pm back in PdL (hour and quarter approx from Faro Airport)
Gerry overshoots PdL to Vila do Bispo (7 miles west of PdL at 7.05pm (approx 90 min drive from Faro Airport and 21 minute drive from PdL)
Returns back to Budens at 7.10pm (9 minute drive )
Arrives back in PdL at 7.50 approx (14 minute drive from Budens but took 40 mins)
25 minutes between Budens and PdL unaccounted for.
Spent most of the day travelling getting back to Portugal late afternoon. It was great to be back with Kate and the kids after the short visit to Washington. It was also great to see so many pictures from the 50th day balloon launch on the website.
A lot of people have been asking what can they do to maintain the search for Madeleine. The advice we have had consistently from the beginning, and very much re-emphasised by the experience of the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children is to maintain a high profile for the missing child. This can be achieved by
relatively simple measures such as displaying posters in prominent public places. We ask people to continue downloading posters from the website and display them at bus stations, train stations and of course take them on holiday. Kate and I would like to thank everyone who desperately wants us to be reunited with Madeleine and have helped in this regard.

-Vila do Bispo is a small town 22km to the west of Lagos and the centre of the municipality which includes towns such as Sagres, Budens and Raposeira
-Vila do Bispo is only a short distance from the coast - the nearest beach on the western atlantic coast is Praia do Castelejo (a favourite
with surfers) and the beaches at Sagres are only about 8km. Between Sagres and Burgau, along the southern coastline, are many more quiet beaches which are well worth finding if you want to 'get away' from it all.
-There are beaches that hardly anyone visits along this part of the south coast

TRIANGLE
27th July - next day both parents went together
~16:30 - ~19-20:00
Sagres
http://www.mccannpjfiles.co.uk/PJ/PHONE_TEXTS.htm#oatp11
On 27th [the phone] leaves in the direction of Sagres. On the way to this town a contact is registered at 17:48:50 with the antenna "Budens". In the locality, supposedly the destination, it activated the antenna with that name [Sagres] at 18:47:32. According to the records it comes back to the village of Luz, the first antenna being activated is "Praia da Luz Centre" at 20:42:25.

TRIANGLE (JdA)
But I am more interested in the cluster around the dates the dogs came in. There is one interesting day, the 27th, when Kate pings at 18:43 at the Budens mast and Gerry pings at 18:47 at the Sagres mast. Normally between these two masts is the Raposeira mast, unless it is different at the coast. So 2 pings within 4 minutes suggest driving along a road that tangents both ping areas. IMO this could be one of the roads going from Raposeira down to the coast either to praia do barranco or praia da ingrina, possibly praia zavial as well.
Why would you go to an area formerly not of interest for more than a month, a) in the evening and b) so important that you have to go there right after your return from Washington without apparently stopping off in PdL to see your remaining kids.
27th... Trip to Sagres early evening. Leaves PdL just after 17:30, would arrive in Sagres just after 18:00, and left Sagres around 20:10 giving him approx just over 2 hours in Sagres before arriving back in Luz at 20:42 although it could have been anytime from 19:20 that he arrived back at PdL depending on lack of activations.
Consecutive;
17:05 PdL Centro
17:20 PdL
17:48 Budens
18:47 Sagres (he called his message centre)
20:42 PdL Centro |
|
27th - Only Gerry travels to Sagres in the evening | Kate'
On 27 the records again indicate a new exit to the coverage area of the antenna called
"Raposeira 1" (close to Vila do Bispo).
The first record on this antenna occurs at
16:33:13 and the last was at
18:59:22.
The return to
Luz happened at
19:54:23.
If we compare the records of the mobile phone of Gerald, one can infer that on this journey he had not accompanied his wife, given that at 16:33:41 his mobile phone has an entry on one of the antennae of Luz.
However it is probable that that they had met later.
At 17:43:54 the mobile phone of Kate is activating the antenna "Budens 1", TMN network, while the mobile phone of Gerald actions the antenna
"Budens" at
17:48:50.
The return of the records to the antennae of
Luz succeeds at
19:54:23 (the 1st contact after the journey of this day).
2nd version new website
Quite a lot of e-mails and telephone calls today planning future events, which might be helpful to keep Madeleine in peoples minds. I am sure there will be a lot of interest in Saturday August 11th because that will mark 100 days if Madeleine is
still missing. This date coincides with the world pipe band
championships being held in Glasgow. A former world pipe band champion, Alasdair Gillies who is a friend of one of my sisters, has composed a ‘Marvellous March for Madeleine’ that will be played by 100 pipers from all over the world. It should be quite a spectacle and hopefully it will be a celebration, and not a another marker
that Madeleine is still missing.
