After this return to the antennae of Luz, only at 14:07:44 on 7th does one
observe a record outside that locality. That record occurs on the antenna
installed in the [parish] of Aljezur, municipal area of Aljezur, district of
Faro.
The records return to the antennae of Luz at 14:24:00.
Curiously, on this day only Russell and Matthew activate other antennae outside Luz.
The first activates the antenna referred to before, while the second
activates "Budens 1". If on the one hand the movement of Matthew to Budens is
acceptable, then the trip of Russell to Aljezur in these first days so soon after
the disappearance is somewhat strange, it not being that, once more to the
picture of Fiona Payne on 12 July, there exists an error in the data that the
operator Optimus remitted to the Police. There is an hypothesis of him having
made that journey, there being sufficient time for him to cover the distance that separates Luz from Aljezur (68 km.) at an average [speed] of 130 km/h.
Despite there being no other records from the mobile phones of the other members
of the group outside the antennae of Luz, there exist gaps in the times [of the
records] that make it possible for one of them to have accompanied him.
Therefore, accepting that Russell was effectively in the coverage area of that
antenna, then on this date the members of the group would already have had
access to a motor vehicle.

John Geraghty in Praia da Luz John Geraghty is a friend of the McCanns and some of the first reports of this man surfaced when he was said to be storing the Renault Scenic for them after they fled Portugal after being made Arguidos.
A shy character and seldom interviewed, John Geraghty is certainly a major player in the case and he is named in the PJ’s police files (see below).
In an article in The Times on September 24, 2007, which you can read on this site HERE, it said;
John Geraghty A 68-year-old businessman from Leicestershire who now lives on the outskirts of Praia da Luz. Offered to store the McCanns’ hire car so that they could commission independent forensic tests
Geraghty Speaking to Sky News
An elusive man, John Geraghty is presumed to be the Mountsorrel businessman, John Geraghty of Geraghty Construction Ltd based in Sleaford, Lincolnshire. In a rare piece of footage on Sky News, John Geraghty appears briefly in the following video clip. He is the white haired man reading the newspaper, and speaking with a Yorkshire accent.
Journalists work in front of a house where disappeared a British three-year-old Madeleine McCann, in Praia da Luz, southern Portugal, 07 May 2007. The mother of a British three-year-old girl abducted in Portugal made a public appeal to the kidnapper for her return on Monday, as it emerged that the police's main suspect was a British man.
Portuguese police inspector Olegario Sousa (L) speaks during a press conference on the missing 3-year-old girl Madeleine McCann, in Praia da Luz, southern Portugal, 07 May 2007. Portuguese police and crime investigators believe a 3-year-old British girl who went missing from a luxury resort in southern Portugal may have been abducted, officials said 05 May |

Fiona Rachael Russell leave
(murat) |
Again they left our country: Gerald, the first exit, leaves on 12th, while Kate travels on 13th, but they both return at the same time. The second [exit], only Gerald leaving on 22nd and returns on 26th.
Still in this month occurs the return of Fiona, Rachael and Russel, on 10th. As already mentioned previously, the three were present in the confrontation with Robert Murat on 11th, leaving on 12th.
Fiona Payne
From this record up to 10:46: 17 on 12th it activates only the antennae that serve Luz. At this time it is found that it activated one of the antennae of
Lagos, on which antenna occurred two more records - at
10:47:13 and
10:47:29.
There follow records made at
10:49:57 and
10:50:11 on the repeater installed in the [parish] of
Aljezur, municipal area of Aljezur, district of Faro.
Given the existing records before these last [two], in Aljezur, there seems to have occurred an error in the records remitted by the operator Optimus, considering that, according to the computer program Microsoft AutoRoute 2007, Lagos is a distance, in a straight line, of about 26 km from Aljezur, and closer to 34 km by road. To cover this distance in about two and a half minutes one would have to travel at a speed of 816 km/h, which is impossible to be achieved in any terrestrial vehicle produced up to this time.
The listing of activations of mobile phone (44)779-627-2586 end with the last record in Aljezur.
KATE
From the return to Luz at 16:49:06 on 10th until
10:21:25 on 12th, the mobile phone of Kate activates only repeaters in Luz.
Followed by records that put it in the airport of Faro at
11:41:57 ("Aeroporto-Faro 2"), to receive or to bid farewell to some relative or friend.
The return to one of the antennae of Praia da Luz ("Luz Centro 2") was at
12:58:37.
The last record in Luz prior to the exit to the airport occurred at 10:21:25.

It is ten weeks since Madeleine was abducted and every day has been incredibly hard for our family. No child should be separated from their family in such circumstances. The overwhelming messages of support, thoughts and prayers really help us stay strong. Somebody, somewhere knows where Madeleine is and it may take a single phone call for her to be found. We will not give up searching for her.
I came to London today to meet with the British police and will go to the Child Exploitaion and Online Protection Centre tomorrow to learn more about their role. As I have said previously we want to work closely with the police and child welfare organisations to help us keep awareness of Madeleines and other childrens disappearance high.
I was also invited to attend the National Police Federation Annual Bravery awards tonight. The work of the police is often taken for granted until you really need them. It was a humbling experience to see and meet so many officers who have shown such outstanding bravery in the line of duty and protecting us all.
It was a fantastic opportunity to thank officers from all over the country who have been involved with the investigation to find Madeleine. The vast majority of those that I managed to speak to are, like us, very optimistic that we will find Madeleine safe and well. |

{ 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 |
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 |
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.
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

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 |
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.

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

TRIANGLE 26th July - right - Right after Kate collected Gerry from the airport after the US trip - without Kate ~18:00 - ~19:30
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.
.
http://www.mccannpjfiles.co.uk/PJ/PHONE_TEXTS.htm#oatp11
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.

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
|
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 |

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

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). |

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.

with many thanks to Joana Morais blogSATURDAY, JULY 28: I got up at 7.30 after a late and disturbed night of sleep.
At around 16.20 we had a dip in the Jacuzzi. Sean and Amelie loved it. After tea I went to the small church. I was a little tearful.
It's really hard for me not to worry about the small things. I wonder does anyone brush her teeth? She looks so happy in that photo taken on that last day.
I know I'm repeating myself but I can't stop myself from saying how much I love you, Madeleine. I'll say it as many times as I need to. You're so, so special. XXXXX.

1/8 Busy day. Starts with three activations in Luz (at what appears to be 3 different masts, Luz Centro 1 & 2 and Luz 2) between 09:14 and 09:30. Those are Kate’s only pings in Luz until 17:48
After the half nine morning ping she heads to Faro airport, where she activates at 10:33. Next ping comes at Porches (Just East of Portimao) at 11:40. Then comes several pings at Lagos between 12:39 and 17:36 (with a large gap : 14:07 - 16:35)
Back in Luz at 17:48 and another at 18:51.
Then a trip of around 10 miles West of Luz. Pinging Budens & Raposeira between 19:20 & 20:04 followed by a ping at Burgau @ 21:06 and then back in Luz Centro 2 at 22:14 |
1st - Although both G & K ping Lagos this afternoon, Kate is first there. She starts activating in Lagos at 12:39 while Gerry also has an activation at 12:39 (sending a text) in Praia da Luz. Although both travelled to F airport this morning, only Kate has no pings in Luz from that trip until 17:48 that evening. G, meanwhile, does have some Luz pings after returning from the airport, before travelling to Lagos.
Simultaneous period of inactivity; 14:07 - 16:35
Both take a trip to the West of Luz (Budens/Burgau/Raposeira) this evening. However, yet again, Kate is first of the mark...
She first pings Budens at 19:20 while Gerry has a 20:04 Luz ping. G only has one ping in the Budens area at 22:29 which comes after a 2.5 hour gap but has a Luz activation only 3 minutes later, so it may be an erroneous activation which would mean only K travelled West this evening. Kate meanwhile Pings Budens & Raposeira between 19:20 & 20:04 followed by a ping at Burgau @ 21:06 and then back in Luz Centro 2 at 22:14 | On 1st Gerald travels to the airport and returns to the antennae of Luz. The last activation before leaving happens on antenna "Praia da Luz Centre" at 9:27:13, along the route it activates antennae: "Faro Airport" - 10:28:48 and 10:49:11; "Lagos Norte" - 12:07:08; "Lagos Centre" - 12:12:03; and "Praia da Luz" - 12:18:48.
The records immediately after occurred at
12:19:13 and
12:36:30 on the antenna
"Almadena" and
"Praia da Luz Centre" [respectively].
On this day Gerald leaves Luz going to
Lagos. The phone that he owns triggered the antennae:
"Lagos (Santa Maria)" - Optimus network -
16:36:37 and
17:08:38;
"Lagos Centre" -
17:14:54; "Lagos Norte" -
17:15:54; "Lagos Centre" -
17:23:45; and
"Praia da Luz Centre" -
18:27:58.
Still today at
22:29:50, there is a record on the antenna "Budens". The one preceding it occurred on the antenna
"Praia da Luz Centre" at
20:04:14, and the one after it occurs on
"Praia da Luz" at
22:32:44.

Gerry's blog: Another trip to the airport this morning to pick up our campaign manager. Kate did a series of interviews for womens magazines and the Sunday newspapers which took most of the afternoon. Kates parents, who we visit regularly at home, also arrived and the twins were very happy to see them. They will be staying with us for a week.
We have had some new posters designed of Madeleine, in Portuguese and Spanish, which I have been printing out to distribute locally. I also did some filming to camera which we might use on the website and for future events.
On 1st Gerald travels to the airport and returns to the antennae of Luz. The last activation before leaving happens on antenna "Praia da Luz Centre" at 9:27:13, along the route it activates antennae: "Faro Airport" - 10:28:48 and 10:49:11; "Lagos Norte" - 12:07:08; "Lagos Centre" - 12:12:03; and "Praia da Luz" - 12:18:48.

Gerry's blog: Today was a bit of a write off for me as I was laid low with a probable viral illness which meant I could not stray too far from the house! I did manage to get through some e-mails, telephone calls and some paperwork. Feeling a bit better tonight so hopefully be back to normal tomorrow.
Kate did manage to put up some of the new Madeleine posters in shops around Praia da Luz.. It is noticably busier, now that we are in August, with lots of tourists many of whom are from Portugal. The figures from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children show that one in six kids are recovered after being recognised from a poster. Such statistics do encourage us that relatively simple measures may be effective in helping us find Madeleine.
| 2nd... Another Budens trip this evening. Ping at Luz Centro at 18:11 then Budens at 18:32 followed by an activation in Luz at 18:43. Then 5 more Budens pings between 19:16 and 19:18 followed by a ping back in PdL Centro at 20:37 |
|
2nd - Only Gerry has Budens pings this evening. Six in total | From that return until 18:11:08 on 2nd, there exist records only on the repeaters of Luz. The subsequent records show Gerald McCann leaving the village up to at least
Budens, with a brief passing in Luz:
18:32:05 -
"Budens";
18:43:56 -
"Praia da Luz";
19:16:15,
19:16:48,
19:17:10,
19:17:35 and
19:18:09 -
"Budens"; and
20:37:35 - "Praia da Luz Centre".
On this day searches were made in the house in which the McCann were living.

2nd August Pings- Gerry on his own
~18:30 - ~20:30
Trip to Huelva cancelled
Gerry McCann cancels trip to Huelva due to 'viral illness'.
PJ arrive at the McCanns' villa with Eddie and Keela
Around 18:00pm, the Inspectors knock on the door of the McCanns villa. Jon Corner states in the Panorama documentary that the McCanns were forewarned of this forensic visit and that there were clothes in the washing machine when the Inspectors arrived.
Cadaver odour is indicated on two pieces of Kate's clothing (trousers and blouse), on a red T-shirt believed to belong to Madeleine and on the soft toy known as 'Cuddle Cat'.
Search of McCanns villa - summary from 'The Truth of the Lie'
- When preparing to go to the McCann's villa with the dogs, everyone knew this was the moment to either take up a technical and legal instrument which could assign responsiblity, or fully remove from suspicion, Madeleine's parents in her disappearance.
- We knew, then, that we had failed when we decided to not wiretap and follow the friends and McCanns from the beginning of the investigation.
- The Public Ministry (MP) created the proper search documents. At the same time, they asked for authorisation to wiretap the villa and car at that time. The MP agreed, as it's been used in other cases. 24 anxious hours later the sitting Judge, covering for someone on holiday, denied the MP's agreement. No time to re-request, the last chance to know what the McCanns said away from the press microphones was gone, just as the couple prepared to leave the country.
- The search was planned in great detail.
- The villa is on Rua das Flores, 27, rented at the beginning of the summer with money donated to the Find Madeleine Fund.
- At 6pm-ish, the inspectors knocked on the door. Kate and Gerry were giving the twins a bath in the exterior pool. Surprisingly, they both reacted well to the search warrant and in a forthright and open way gave unlimited access to the investigators.
- Eddie started, going directly to the living room where on top of a chair was cuddlecat, which now had a little green ribbon and rosary around its neck. Again, Eddie showed his 7 years of experience dedicated to forensic crime scene work and, with a determined and affirmative bark, indicated that CuddleCat had been in contact with a cadaver.
- Using cardboard boxes, all the clothes in the house were taken to a specially prepared area to be placed on the ground for the dogs.
- At 23h20 all the clothes are spread out. Again, Eddie marks a strong cadaver odor on Kate's clothes: slacks in black/white check and a sleeveless white blouse. He barks frenetically.
- Keela finds no blood vestiges.. |

Huelva

After the return, on 3rd all the antennae activated between
1:18:24 and
20:34:52 are those that serve
Praia da Luz, with the exception of the antenna
"V.R. de Santo Ant?io on which is registered at
13:38:00.
Consulting the news database kept by the Police, it is seen in the newspapers Jornal de Noticias and 24Horas, of 4th, the news of the presence of the couple McCann in Huelva, on 3rd, hence the record on that antenna next to the border with Spain.
3rd... Two pings at 01:18 in the early hours and another at 03:18. Morning's activity starts at 06:45. Last ping of the morning comes at 07:22 in PdL Centro, which is then followed by a very large gap (trip to Huelva). The next ping back in Luz comes at 16:28. The only activation in those 9 hours comes at 13:38 in Vila Real de Santo Antonio, which is located right at the far Eastern end of the Algarve right next to the Spanish border. (No Spanish records available.) Given the time, this must have been on his way back. Last ping of the day at 20:34 (early night?)
|
3/8 Reported trip to Huelva in Spain. Records only account for activations within Portugal.
First activation of the day comes at 08:49 in ‘Assumadas 2’ (just North of Loule, around 10 miles N/NW of Faro). Then nothing until 13:45 in Tavira (just over 10 miles from the Spanish border). Pings then consistent with travel back to Luz, arriving at 14:38. However, then follows 5 pings at Lagos (Santa Maria) between 14:49 & 15:22 then back in Luz at 16:13.
Gap : 19:48 - 21:51
|
3rd - Only G has a few pings in the small hours of this morning (at 01:18 & 03:18). Both travel to Huelva. But where as Kate has several activations on the Portuguese side of the journey (Spanish records not available), Gerry only has one, being one at 13:38 at the Spanish border. Because of this, only K has pings in Lagos (Santa Maria) following a single ping back in Luz after returning from Huelva, but it may be a rogue activation | |

A '100% sure' Maddie sighting is reported
In Belgium, details emerge of a possible sighting of Madeleine. A child therapist says she is '100% sure' she saw Madeleine at a restaurant in the town of Tongeren, not far from the Dutch border. A bottle is taken for DNA testing but turns out to be that of a man.
The 'sighting' actually took place on 28 July 2007. Covered here
Gerry's blog: It is exactly 3 months since Madeleine was abducted. Kate and I had an early start as we drove to Huelva, 50Km over the border from Portugal in Southern Spain. We were meant to go yesterday but had to cancel because I was ill.
Unfortunately it was a public holiday in Huelva and the large shopping centre we planned to visit was closed. We did distribute posters in several garages, taxi ranks and the bus and train stations and gave out some Madeleine wristbands. This was definitely a worthwhile exercise, as many people did not seemingly recognise Madeleine but we did get a very warm response from the Spanish people we met. We would encourage everyone to continue taking posters on holiday but please ask permission before putting them up in public places.
When we arrived back in Praia da Luz we did a couple of media interviews to building up to August 11th, which will mark 100 days if Madeleine is still missing. There will be a lot of media activity next week reviewing Madeleine's abduction, the investigation and of course the campaign to help find her. It is an opportunity to highlight that we have not given up hope and are still optimistic of being reunited with Madeleine.
Tonight we prayed for Madeleine at a vigil in the church. This has happened every Friday since Madeleines abduction and was very well attended tonight, probably due to the greater number of tourists in the resort.

Saturday August 4
• Police launch a second search of Robert Murat's house.
Mrs McCann speaks for the first time of her regret at leaving her daughter on the night she disappeared.
She also discloses that as she tucked Madeleine into bed that night, the little girl said: "Mummy, I've had the best day ever. I'm having lots and lots of fun."
Search of Casa Liliana, summary from 'The Truth of the Lie'
- 4 and 5 August. Ground "aired" and opened. Over two days of thorough searching, no signs from Eddie at Murat's home.
Jon Corner returns home
4th... First ping of the day at 08:49 at the 'Sobral IC4' antenna. Then activations at Silves, Arge IC4, Ladeira do Vau and Chinicato. Back in Luz at 09:07 & 09:08 but then a gap until 10:58 at Luz Centro.

Day 93 - 04/08/2007
1st version old website
Gerry's blog: Another early start to the day as I dropped the crew who did some filming for the website and other forthcoming events. Kate and I did a short interview reviewing the last 3 months and the search for Madeleine. We spent the rest of the day with the kids and Kate's family. We were all glad it clouded over in the afternoon to give us some respite from the intense heat.
The most recent searches by the police have attracted a lot of renewed media interest with satellite trucks arriving back in Praia da Luz. It is likely that some of the British Broadcasters will also come back out.
We werre all very tired and we managed to get off to bed at 10.30pm, which is very early for us by recent standards
