Bedroom window and shutter were not open when Kate arrived at Apartment 5A at around 10pm...
This can be proven by conducting a simple experiment with the doors and bedroom window / shutter of Apartment 5A - three doors being the patio door, the bedroom door, and the road side door...
I carried out a similar experiment in our apartment situated in block 6, room 6A, during my trip to PDL. What I did was make sure the three corresponding doors aforementioned were closed in our apartment, and that the steel shutter was locked and the corresponding bedroom window closed. I then slid open the patio door, nothing happened, so I closed it again. I then opened the bedroom door and left it slightly ajar, before returning to the patio door to open it again. Nothing happened, so I closed the patio door. I then went into the bedroom, raised the steel shutter and fully opened the sliding window, pulled the curtains across the window, exited the bedroom leaving the bedroom door slightly ajar, went back to the sliding patio door, and opened it - nothing happened, by that I mean that the bedroom door I had left slightly ajar did not slam shut. I left the patio door open and went towards the bedroom door which had been left slightly ajar and pushed it open and entered the bedroom. I did no see any movement of the curtain at the bedroom window. I then turned around leaving the bedroom and reset the door...
I stood there in front of the bedroom door which was still slightly ajar, thinking what to do next...
I walked up to the bedroom door again as though I was about to enter but stopped short of actually going in, or touching the door in question, at all. At this stage I had my back to the patio door, and could not see the road side door on the opposite side of the Apartment. I turned myself around so that I was facing toward the open patio door, and stood there a few moments, with the bedroom door behind me, itself left slightly ajar. I paused a few moments, listening, thinking...
I then turned towards the road side door, intending to go and open it...
At this time, the patio door was open, the bedroom door was still left ajar, the bedroom window was open, the steel shutter of that particular window was raised up - I strode towards the roadside door and very quickly opened it...
Whoooooosh, bang the bedroom door slammed shut...
Leaving the road side door open, I returned to the bedroom door which was now fully closed. At this time the patio door was open, the road side door was open, and to the best of my knowledge the bedroom window was still open and its shutter raised up...
I quickly opened the closed bedroom door, and as I did so the curtain at the window started to move violently and pulled itself open, leaving the open bedroom window exposed to view. I stepped inside the bedroom and closed the door behind me, and the movement of the curtain ceased, it was not moving as though it was being blown by the wind. I half turned and slowly opened the bedroom door again,which generated a draft that started to make the curtain at the bedroom window flutter. I walked out of the bedroom closing the door behind me and I went to close the road side door, then returned to the bedroom door and opened it. I was conscious of the fact that there was not the rush of air as there was with both patio door, road side door and bedroom window opened. I re-entered the bedroom, with bedroom door ajar, neither the bedroom door, nor the curtains at the bedroom window moved...
Standing there, pondering what to do next, trying to fathom out what significance if anything any of this could mean...
I left the bedroom, closing the bedroom door behind me. I then went to close the sliding patio door, then I returned to the opposite side of the Apartment and re-opened the roadside door, before going back to the bedroom door and opening it - nothing happened. Turning around, I went back to the patio door and slid it open. Upon doing so the bedroom door slammed shut, and I was aware of a slight rushing of breeze in the room created at that stage, which I have since referred to as a vacuum...
I closed the patio door, went to close the road side door, went into the bedroom and closed the bedroom window...
I believed at that point I had discovered something of importance about the circumstances surrounding the discovery by Kate McCann of Maddie having been taken from the bedroom in Apartment 5A - at around 10pm...
