Kate was adamant herself that Maddie hadnt wandered off somewhere.
-------------------
window open, steel shutter raised and curtains blown open and bedroom door slammed shut - and still the other two children did not stir from their sleep in their cots...
Does anyone have any idea who the other person was at the apartment when Kate apparently made her remarkable discovery that Maddie was gone?
Wrong again Mike. The curtains would only blow when the bedroom door was opened creating a through draught. Children don't awaken easily, you would know that if you had any.
--------------------------
Wrong - I have got kids and I have got grandkids...
wrong again, curtains did not blow open when Kate initially opened the bedroom door and looked in, the bedroom door slammed shut and the curtains blew wide open when Kate was setting the door before going back to the tapas bar - what actually caused the bedroom door to slam shut and the curtains to blow wide open, was because at that precise time, someone either left the apartment, or came into the apartment via the roadside door, thus creating or generating a vacuum that slammed the bedroom door shut etc...
I know that this is / was true because I carried out experiments with the doors and windows at the apartment where I stayed whilst on holiday there...
