Mathew Oldfield said April 28th 'We dined at the Millennium because THE TAPAS was CLOSED.

All the other days they ALWAYS ate at the Tapas. From Sunday, April 29th to Thursday, May 3rd. That makes 5 days, 5 dinners, at Tapas.

Lunch said Mathew, would be eaten in a group, this included the children, Payne’s apartment commonly used, due to its larger size. Mathew also explained the first booking made for dinner at the Tapas, which was for Sunday night, was made by O'Brian, but he is not sure.

Matt clarifies, Monday morning his wife Rachael, undertook such reservations, adding still that it would have been for all the remaining days except for Friday 4th May, as a Tennis Club dinner for that night had been planned.

Jane Tanner also confirms the booking was permanent for 20h30...until the end of the stay.

And yet here we have Dr.Gerald Mccann in this interview 'Why did you not come when we were crying' saying 'WE DID NOT even know if we could get into the Tapas on May 3rd.

The holiday was going well; a group of doctors had planned an active vacation and enjoyed watersports, tennis, jogging etc. However, by evening it seems that ALWAYS someone from the group had a bout of sickness. Fiona in her statement, said someone, EVERY night was sick.

Gerry McCann said that Sunday lunch was spent in the PAYNE apartment. The whole group were there, except for MATHEW, who was ill.

MATT also did not attend dinner on Sunday, Rachael however, was present.

Dianne Webster said there was no need for the Paynes to check on their children as they had a BABY MONITOR.

However Dr. Gerald McCann says that he THINKS that on Wed. May 2nd Dr. David Payne checked on the McCann children. It is odd that this generosity was only extended to the McCann children as we have already been told the PAYNES did not need to check their own.

Yes, it could be justified that out of all the kindness of his heart, Dr. Payne was checking upon those less fortunate to have technology available to them. But what about Tanner’s children? Were they children of a lesser god?

Monday and Tuesday evening seemed to have caused some confusion. Dr. McCann does not remember which of these days Madeleine had slept for sometime in his room, with Kate, who had told him one or both of the twins were crying.

Russel and Tanner also suffer from a bout of amnesia about these dates. Russell said in his statement “I remember the night well as it is the ONLY night we were together”. But then Russel does admit defeat because he and Jane are unsure if this was Monday or Tuesday evening they were all together. But it seems clear that irrelevant which night it was, ONLY one night they were together. At the place pre-booked for all for the whole week. Except Friday. Lest we forget. Apparently they did.

After a time of not remembering the night HE HAD remembered so well, the Officer said well shall we just put Monday or Tuesday?...Russel agreed this (to put the two) WOULD be best.

Miss Najoua Chekaya, Quizz Mistress, also seemed to have a memory problem about Tuesday, May 1st.

Remember this was the night Mrs Fenn heard a child screaming for more than one hour 'Daddy,Daddy'...

The lovely BUXOM Najoua says she worked in the Tapas two nights a week (Sunday and Tuesday). Although Najoua has a better memory than the doctors , it was not until pressed that she admitted it was Dr.Mccann who invited her to sit with the table of NINE guests. Yes, NINE, not eight, not ten but NINE. Reveals quite an attentive mind to detail for an invitee that approaches a group of people that she doesn’t know from anywhere else before.

Miss Chekaya sat with the group for about TWENTY minutes enjoying a drink. However, she does not know whether Madeleines mother Kate was there.

Unless there were other unknown characters present, clearly then maybe NOT a table with nine present.

Najoua said she sat at the table about 9.30... No one left the table while she was there including Madeleine’s father. She did notice an empty chair of someone who had had dinner and left. This is an assumption on Najova’s part, nothing more, for she could not know this as fact.

Kate’s witness statement is clear for the night Tues May 1st...She and Gerry checked the children twice each: 9.00 pm... 9.30 pm... 10.00 pm.. and 10.30 pm...

Najoua was shown photographs of the group and Miss Chekaya is unsure if David Payne was present or not...leading once again to justified doubts of a table of NINE.

Wednesday May 2nd, Rachael Oldfield was feeling unwell and stayed in her apartment all night. Her husband Matt was at the restaurant. Wednesday 2nd May...amnesia seems to have cleared as they all remember staying late for a drink at the bar. They did not return to their apartments until close to midnight.

I can only put this strange behaviour of the night Tues May 1st down to Miss NAJOUA CHEKAYA and her wonderful assets... for whatever else could cause such a break down in memory that they do not recall, especially the men, this stunning young lady sitting at their table?

 

This stunning young lady who, in turn, remembers so well being invited by GERRY MCCANN to a table of NINE GUESTS?

Unquestionable memory on her part, or questionable amnesia from everyone else?

And if it’s this AMNESIA, then what, WHERE and who else wasn’t remembered? And WHY?
