A resident of an apartment on the floor above apartment 5A, on an upper floor has stated that at 10.30pm how they were alerted to the potential disappearance of Madeleine McCann by the fact that they heard a commotion at about 10.30pm on the evening of 3rd May 2007, and that they saw Gerry McCann amongst the bushes and shrubs beneath the patio of 5A, and that the witness called down to him and queried what the disturbance was all about? Only to be told by Gerry McCann that a little girl had gone missing...
Rather curiously the cadaver dogs alerted positively to an area in the front garden of 5A, suggesting that traces of cadaveric odour were deposited in the same location where Gerry McCann had been seen and spoken to, on the night of the reported disappearance, so soon after the disappearance of Maddie had been reported..
