PART TWO:
From Kate McCann's book 'Madeleine' :
Friday 4: Virtually the entire day was spent at PJ headquarters in Portimao. They travelled there with police at 10.00 a.m. (p.88) returning to Praia da Luz 'some time after 8.30 p.m.' (p.92).
Friday 4: Virtually the entire day was spent at PJ headquarters in Portimao. They travelled there with police at 10.00 a.m. (p.88) returning to Praia da Luz 'some time after 8.30 p.m.' (p.92).
But we have a problem:
‘On this day [4th], the records show that Gerald travelled to Portimao. The first record of a signal occurred on the antenna "Arge IC4" at 10:42:58am. About 15 minutes later it is activating the antenna "Portimao Centre" - 10:56:07am' 1).
The records stay on the Portimao antennae until 18:24:45pm.
The records stay on the Portimao antennae until 18:24:45pm.
The records returned to Luz at 21:11:22pm, noting that there is an interval without contact between the last entry in Portimao and the first in the village where he was on holiday. ‘
That’s fine. the antenna ‘Arge IC4’ is just north of the A22 and the car would have passed it on the way to Portimao. However, Kate’s telephone has gone on an adventure of its own: ‘Acknowledging that Madeleine had disappeared between 21:00 and 22:00 on 3rd, it is observed that the last record of the mobile phone of Kate prior to the occurrence [event] occurs at 13:34:53 and the first after the tragic happening was at 23:14:51.’ 1)
'The first time that it activates an antenna different from those that serve that village was on the day on which she went to make statements to the D.I.C. of Portimao - (cf. pages 58) - on 4th.
It activates then the antenna "Lagos Centro DCS 3" at 10:33:20, there following others up to the first that activates in the city of Portimao - "Portimao 1" - 10:44:53.
From that moment until 18:19:29, inclusive, it activates only antennae that serve this locality.
The antenna registered immediately following that one is "Luz Centro 2" at 23:17:52.' 1)
Kate writes in her book that they were collected by the PJ in PdL about 10 am on 4/5 and taken to Portimao police station where they allegedly spent all day.
Her interview didn’t start untill around 14.00 so she had plenty of time to go to Lagos harbour. As can be seen on the map her phone pinged the Lagos mast at 10.33.20 and 10.33.58, then at 10.34.57 she pinged the Praia de Porto mast. In any case she can’t have been sitting next to Gerry in the car.
Gerry’s phone makes a perfectly logical trip:
PdL: 10.11.21
Porto de Arge: 10.42.58 (just off the A22 on the way to Portimao. )
Portimao: 10.56.07
Kate tells us that the police arrived around 10.00h in PdL and took them direct to Portimao police station. The trouble is that according to the ping map Kate’s phone seems to have gone on a different trip altogether.
PdL: 10.30.22
Lagos: 10.33.20
Lagos: 10.33.58
Porte de Mos 10.34.57
Bensafri.. 10.35.49
Odiaxere 10.38.38
Portimao 10.44.53
But Kate’s phone doesn’t ping the ARCE IC4 mast and it is therefore unlikely that she was in the same car (PJ police car) as Gerry.
For after de mast Praia da Luz (Regresso) pings her at 10.30.22
her phone alerts Lagos 2 at 10.33.20 and again at 10.33.58, following those pings the next one is the Praia de Porto de Mos mast at 10.34.57.
For the rest of the day and evening there are no question marks regarding the location of Kate’s phone, just for this short period in the morning. It could mean that Kate had different transport at the time.
PJ files: ‘From that moment until 18:19:29, inclusive, it activates only antennae that serve this locality.
The antenna registered immediately following that one is "Luz Centro 2" at 23:17:52.’
