NOTES REFERRING TO BOATS, PINGS AND PSYCHICS.

The Swansea number: 

Wednesday 2nd May 2007: 

At 11.21 Kate received a call from what appears to be a landline in Swansea ( xxxxx0023). The report by Inspector Dias researched this call in detail (Page 21 in his report of 9th November 2007) and discovered that it had not activated any of the Luz antennae. But digging deeper, he found that another UK mobile (xxxxx 1583) had triggered the Luz antenna when connecting to the same Swansea number at 14.01. He dug even deeper, tracked all of the calls made from Luz by xxxx1583 and established it had no connection whatsoever with any of the “Tapas 9”. The Swansea call to Kate McCann was simply a “wrong number”, misrouted and thus not logged by the Luz antennae.

What Inspector Dias did not realise was that the Swansea call had become so special to Kate McCann that, when deleting all of the other Portuguese call records from memory, she decided to leave this one intact.

The psychics: 

It is clearly not possible for either of these two psychics to have been at the Lagos Marina  before the 8th of May, when Kate submitted the photographs to DC Markley for on the 27th of May the Daily Star reports that Diane Lazarus is flying out on Wednesday the 30th of May 2007. (see part 4)

Hi, We've just had this great story come about a couple of our clients and thought that it may be of interest to you.

Two UK psychic detectives have arrived in Portugal in a bid to help track down missing toddler Madeleine McCann.

Amanda Hart from St Albans and Ben Murphy from Watford believe their psychic powers could provide the missing key in finding the three year old who has been missing since last Thursday.

[..] Amanda Hart, who has appeared on Tricia Goddards Psychic Challenge and regularly presented her own psychic radio show, says she has been receiving vital clues as to the childs whereabouts. Her partner, Ben Murphy who was involved in helping track down the murderer of teenager Sally Anne Bowman last year, has also had psychic impressions of her location. 

The pair arrived in Portugal on Friday and are hoping to use Amanda’s ability as a psychic ‘tracker’ to help find Madeleine.

Spokesman Kizzi Nkwocha said: “Both Amanda and Ben have proven their psychic abilities beyond any doubt. They now hope to use these powers to help find Madeleine. Any information they get will be made available to the authorities in Portugal.”

OK, that makes it Friday the 11th, so it is  rather strange that Diane Lazarus was flying out on the 30th May, according to the Daily Star:as she tells the Daily Star on the 27th: ‘she hopes to link up with Maddy’s devastated parents once she gets there.’ At her home in Cross Hands, South Wales she has been bombarded with emails..’.

As it happens the village of ‘Cross Hands’ is appreciably nearer Swansea than it is to Cardiff, which links it to the mysterious Swansea number on Kate’s phone on the 2nd of May.  

Meanwhile, Amanda Hart flitted around the Algarve, writing a blog containing much in the way of angels, abandoned farmhouses and random doves. I understand that the McCanns called her off around the middle of June. Possibly because she broadcast the death of Madeleine as being the message from white doves. 

What is abundantly clear is that neither Diane Lazarus nor Amanda Hart were able to point out the right boat to Kate and take photographs as they did not arrive in Portugal until Friday the 11th at the earliest. At least Amanda Hart did as she reports being there in time for Madeleine’s birthday on the 12th. 

So when were these photographs Kate gave to DC Markley actually taken? It looks to be either during Kate’s little excursion on the 4th or earlier that week. However, bearing in mind that Kate’s mobile did not leave PdL before the 4th of May according to the PJ, it is clear from the records that the Tapas 9 were all well aware of the need to be cautious with their mobile use. 

From 'Madeleine' written by Kate McCann we learn: 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).

There are a number of interesting points regarding the pings of the McCann’s mobiles on that Friday.   

Gerry's mobile  pings the Portimao mast at 10.55.07.The records stay on the Portimao antenna until 18:24:45pm.(presumably for both the McCanns.)

The records returned to Luz at 21:11:22pm,  the PJ records note:' that there is an interval without contact between the last entry in Portimao and the first in the village where he was on holiday. ‘

As for Kate: 

Her phone pings the Portimao mast at 10.44.53: 

PJ files: ‘From that moment until 18:19:29, inclusive, it activates only antennae that serve this locality.(u,e, Portimao)

The antenna registered immediately following that one is "Luz Centro 2" at 23:17:52.’

Now it looks as if Gerry was off-line between 18.24.45 pm and 21.11.22 pm. Whereas Kate’s phone signs off from Portimao at 18.19.29 and alerts Luz Centro 2 at 23.17.52. Another gap which would be interesting to examine. The time of the first press ‘conference’ that evening is not clear and the McCanns  may well have needed some help in drawing up a statement and therefore turned their phones off. Possibly representatives of Bell Pottinger PR who were already on the spot may have advised them at this juncture.  

If the photographs were taken on the morning of the 4th by Kate, she would have needed to print these off somewhere. Surely not at the Ocean Club, although this is a possibility. This ‘evidence’ was only  passed on to the liaison officer DC Markley on the 8th of May. We may assume that it could not be produced earlier because the photographs were not available any earlier in printed form. 

Meanwhile, apart from the unspecified psychic at Lagos marina, a number of witnesses backed up the 'abducted by yacht/boat' and pointed to the sea as well, notably Michael Wright with the ‘evidence’ of George Burke seeing a child dragged to the marine in the early morning of Friday the 4th.  Miss Pennington did her bit too by locating a suspicious character in a rowing boat. David Payne and Russell O’Brien looked for Maddie on the beach at some point, although David Payne specifies his search as lasting 'not long'.  All this activity would certainly make sense if the police needed to be strongly encouraged to look anywhere except in Praia da Luz itself. 

Cognitive thinking would seem to indicate that the McCanns thought the sighting by the far too observant Smith family would surface, most likely as early as Friday the 4th.  Another abductor would have to be reported to invalidate this meeting. For to have been seen by one or two people on their way to or from the nightlife of PdL would have been of some use. But there were no less than 9 family members and Mrs. Smith spoke to the 'man with the child'. But the Smiths didn't contact the police at that time and although they were at a later date  certain it was Gerry McCann they'd seen, by that time the case was unravelling and the McCanns were safely back in the UK.

Once the evidence of the Smith family was submitted at the end of May, the PJ officers realised why  the curious Tannerman abductor had been promoted by the McCanns as the one and only abductor.  Clearly the PJ didn't take the the evidence of the Tapas 7 seriously. They gave Gerry an alibi for the time at which the Smiths saw 'the man with the child' in the quiet street leading down towards the beach.  With Tannerman now getting the leading role, at a different time during which Gerry was talking to a fellow holidaymaker, and seen by Jane Tanner, his new alibi was secured. He could not be 'the man with the child' for by that time a witness had seen Maddie being abducted whilst Gerry's back was turned. 

But if it was Gerry who was noticed by the Smiths, consider the sleeping child he was carrying. It is unlikely to have been Madeleine herself, for most likely it was on the Wednesday 1) that her body was hidden somewhere, probably not by either of the parents. 

However on that night there were two comatose children available, carrying one of them dressed in pyamas would be no problem. Observation is all to do with proportion and angle of view. The photograph below shows Gerry carrying Sean and it would be easy to guess Sean's age at about 4 to 5 at least. Gerry is about 6'1" and Kate is about 5'7". Even the petite Amelie seems fairly tall in this photograph. 

The sequence of events that night and the events of Wednesday the 2nd of May point to Madeleine having died earlier that week. It is highly unlikely that Gerry would take a walk with a deceased child. More likely is that her body was removed from 5A on Wednesday and hidden in an apartment to which the McCanns didn't have a key or/and didn't even know where it was. But there was certainly a risk of very thorough house - to house searches by the police. In that case - should the body be found, the McCanns would have no connection to the location.  'Abduction gone wrong' would then have been the starting point of the investigation.  2)

Telephone records revisited.

Although I do not intend to write  more on this blog myself,  it can still be useful in reaching those interested in the case. In this case those who have not read the blog posts by Ben Salmon.


So here is part one of Ben Salmon's work on the telephone records, the link below will take you to parts two and three and eventually more to come.

 Forerunner: ‘Other’ Call records Pt.1

Call records less examined, Part 1: GNR

Please note: This blog will inevitably contain names and numbers which are in all likelihood not related to the case. I include all identified numbers for the sake of thoroughness. If you happen to be one of these names and wish your number removed, please feel free to contact me.

This series of posts will serve in part as a reference section. As such, it will be sterile of interpretation as much as possible, though I will add relevant details about names. As usual, I encourage any feedback, corrections or additional information.

For the most part, I have superimposed names of callers on these documents. Unidentified numbers are either left blank or marked ‘???’. In some cases a blank number is identified in the column on the right, for example on the GNR document, which I will begin with.

It is claimed frequently in the media that the McCanns called the GNR immediately, and they ‘took 40 minutes or more to arrive’. This couldn’t be further from the truth, as the following GNR document shows. While the Tapas group claimed to have gone to reception and called the GNR (Gerry, Russell or other depending on which account we read), they were in fact all in 5A arguing loudly until the GNR were called at – yes – 22:41.

The number ending ‘809’ is the GNR Lagos number, if the number is in the right hand column that means they RECEIVED the call, if it is on the left then they MADE the call.

Calls above ‘Greentrust SA’ are all irrelevant – again, simply identified for the sake of being thorough. Taking these in order, then;

Greentrust SA – This is the Ocean Club. Although there is a separate Greentrust SA building, the number presented is the same as the number presented in the OC call records, hence we can fairly accept that these two calls were made from the Tapas reception as claimed.

Instituto Nacional De Emergencia Medica – A call from the emergency services to the GNR.

Securitas Direct Portugal LDA – Alarm company – this would appear to be automatic dialling when alarms are tripped. There are earlier and later calls from here and it is more than likely likely irrelevant.

Barend Weijdom – A Dutch property manager in Praia da Luz. He was interviewed by the PJ on the 16th of May. His interview appears to make no mention of his 23:01 call to the GNR, indeed he intimates that the GNR arrived ‘around 5 minutes’ after he was made aware of the search. The times he recalled were incorrect (stating events were unfolding at around 2145-2150). He claimed to have searched the beach area. Managed Apartment 5E (same block as McCanns, next door to the O’Brien/Tanner apartment). Unclear what other properties he was responsible for.

Silvia Batista – Head of Maintenance and Services at Ocean Club. Interviewed at least four times, two of which were in May, and two in July. At no point does she mention calling the GNR, indeed she says she was ‘made aware’ of the situation at 2230, and GNR arrived after her. Silvia made interesting comments, such as corroborating the ‘praying Arabs’ pose of the parents, and her shock at them requesting a priest around 3am. Silvia later procured keys for apartments, in anticipation of Martin Grime’s work.

AV Dr Barahona, Evora – GNR building in Evora, calling GNR Portimao.

Wim Bosman – A South African living in Praia da Luz, also having roots in nearby Odiaxere. I have found nothing relevant linking him to the night’s events, however he does appear to own the Dolphin restaurant with his wife. According to Lizelle Marais, Wim was out at a bar with her husband Adriaan when she heard about the events unfolding.

Bruna Goncalves – I have marked this number as likely reassigned, as the person it’s assigned to looks to be in her late teens at most. There is a precedent for reassigned numbers, for instance Robert Murat’s number is now assigned to an unrelated lady in Portugal.

PJ Portimao – As noted. For some reason, the ‘time’ column is incorrect from here and downward, so it is unclear if this call was at 1053 or 10 minutes past any hour after midnight.

PJ Lagos – PJ in Lagos.

In Part Two I will look at the Dolfino callbox, before tackling the lengthy Ocean Club call records.
