Thurs July 26 Sandy and Trish Cameron visiting Quote:
Gerry's Blog 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. 26th - K travels to Faro to pick up G. Only Gerry pings Vilo do Bispo and Budens (see Map) not long after returning from the airport Gerry Phone Pings... 26th...

Gerry's Blog 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. 27th - Only Gerry travels to Sagres in the evening Gerry phone pings 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 ----------------------------------------
Sat July 28 Sandy and Trish Cameron visiting Quote: Kate's Diary SATURDAY, 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. XXXX Quote:
Gerry's Blog Quiet family day, as is often the case of a Saturday. It has become blisteringly hot here over the last few days and we decided to take the kids down to the beach early morning. Even then it was hot and there was almost no breeze although the water is still very cold. Met a very nice Portuguese couple who offered us good wishes in trying to find Madeleine 28th - Only Kate travels to Faro airport this morning Gerry Pings 28th... 4 pings between 01:08 and 01:16 Gaps: 11:01 - 14:20 , 14:26 - 16:25 Trip to Budens area with gaps, consecutive; 16:25 PdL Centro 17:36 Budens 17:37 Budens 19:17 PdL Centro Another gap later that evening : 20:33 - 22:31 --------------------------------------------- Kate Pings 28/7 First activation is en-route to Faro airport (09:04 at Paderne).

Gerry's Blog Dropped Trisha and Sandy off at the airport this morning for an emotional farewell. They have offered us the most unbelievable support and I am not sure how we would have functioned without them here. They have been the silent face of the campaign to find Madeleine, putting their lives on hold to help us get through each difficult day. From time to time we will have other friends and family coming to Portugal to see the kids and catch up with Kate and I
Compiling the details from above... We don't 'know' WHEN Madeleine's body was moved but we 'know' it WAS moved and according to Goncalo Amaral she had probably been held in a freezer and fluids leaked into the trunk of the car creating stains which would be difficult to clean, especially in the very hot weather. Sometime in June and July (after they rented the car and when the dogs arrived) Madeleine was moved. For most of the time, (with a couple of visits back to England) Sandy Cameron and Trish were staying with Gerry and Kate. Sandy was driving the car and claims that 'STILL' in July, leading one to believe it was at the end of July, he bought some shopping and noticed blood leaking from the bag and, therefore, had to air the car out. We know there was a neighbour (who was not interviewed officially) that saw the trunk left open all night for a period of time indicating there was probably an odour they were trying to get rid of. This 'time' in my opinion is when they moved Madeleine's body (at least one of the times). When comparing those details with their activities according to the 'pings' in late July, one had to wonder why there were some very 'odd' trips to the West of PdL. Thursday July 26th Gerry visited Vila do Bispo (7 miles west of PdL) immediately upon returning from Washington (without stopping in PdL) spending 25 minutes around that area (extra to driving time) Friday July 27th he visited Sagres in the evening (alone?) Saturday, Kate went to Faro airport in the morning around 9am until 11.30 approx (according to pings) while Gerry claims 'they' took the children to the beach. Between approx 11.30am until 2.00pm approx both their phones were turned off. In Kates diary she claims to have had a dip in the jacuzzi with the twins at 4.20pm At 4.25pm both Kates phone and Gerry's phone pings in PdL after Gerry switches on his phone. They both went to Budens/Burgau by 5.30pm - 6.00pm, according to the pings, and were both back in PdL by Kate at 6.41pm, Gerry at 7.17pm. Gerry's phone switched off approx 8.30pm - 10.30 pm. Why did Kate claim, and was so sure their 'jacuzzi dip' was at 4.20pm, just before their phone pings (4.25pm) showed them leave PdL for Budens/Burgau? Why did they 'suddenly' start visiting this area? (earlier on June 19th approx I believe). Why did Gerry go straight to Budens after returning from Washington? Why did Kate go to the airport when Gerry claims 'they' went to the beach and met a nice Portuguese couple? Again...keep in mind this was all around the time the Scenic trunk was left open to 'air'. Was this when Madeleine's body was moved? |
