The case of Madeleine McCann

[mike tesko]

Just then, as he had just settled his mind and he was leaving the iron gate at the bottom of some concrete steps which afforded access to the patio and its door on the poolside of the premises he came face to face with a tennis companion of his, Jez Wilkins. He was startled by the sudden appearance of Jez, who had a pushchair with him. Gerald McCann was worried that Jez had seen him ferreting about in the bushes of the poolside front garden of apartment 5A.

But which side of the road was Jez Wilkins on when he first noticed Gerald McCann coming out of the gated concrete steps. Moreover, was Jez pushing his pram along down hill, or up hill?

But which side of the road was Jez Wilkins on when he first noticed Gerald McCann coming out of the gated concrete steps. Moreover, was Jez pushing his pram along down hill, or up hill?

Jez Wilkins apartment was situated in block 4 door No. 0...

We find that Jez was walking pushing his pram uphill before he spotted Gerald McCann exiting the gate. Just before that Jez had visited the toilet of the Tapas Bar, taking his son who was wide awake by this time along with him. Afterwards he walked uphill towards the mini reception which was on his left. It was when he was almost opposite the alleyway on the other side of the road which ran parallel with the poolside of the tapas bar and blocks 5 and 4, that he first became aware of Gerald McCann. Jez crossed over the street towards McCann who was stood with his back to the gate, they talked there for 3 or 4 minutes.According to what Jez Wilkins told the police it was about 9.15pm when this occurred. He did not see anyone else in the street when he had been briefly talking to Gerald McCann..

It is not surprising therefore, that both McCann and Wilkins did not see anyone at all walking in the street passed them, because Jane Tanner and TANNERMAN must have already  been and gone, if either were there alone. Jez Wilkins says it was 9.15pm when he stopped to chat with Gerald MacCann, whereas, Jane Tanner had left the tapas bar at 9.10pm. If true, then Jane Tanner has given a false account regarding when she claims to have seen them there before she saw TANNERMAN walking across the road junction which was about 10 - 15 metresbed. ay. Wilkins and McCann weren't even there when Jane Tanner left the tapas bar at 9.10pm, and so she couldn't have seen them there. If what Jez Wilkins says is true, then he wasn't outside McCanns apartment until 5 minutes or so, after Jane Tanner had passed there, herself. It also means that TANNERMAN wasn't crossing the road junction carrying a child in his arms rather so conveniently when moments before Gerald McCann had seen Madeleine asleep in her bed. Gerald McCann would have still been inside apartment 5A at the time Jane Tanner claims to have seen the would be abductor. Interestingly enough, there was a five minute overlap of time, where Gerald McCann and Jane Tanner would have been absent together, at either the McCann apartment, or her own. That was ample time for one or other to move Madeleine McCanns body out of the apartment, and into the bushes...

Was Jane Tanner, 'TANNERMAN', did she carry Madeleine McCanns body out of the apartment and hand it over to Gerald McCann in the bushes?

Why didn't Jez Wilkins notice that the shutter to the McCann children's room was raised up, and the window open with curtains flailing about - he had to go directly past that crucial window to his own apartment in block 4...

Why didn't Jez Wilkins notice that the shutter to the McCann children's room was raised up, and the window open with curtains flailing about - he had to go directly past that crucial window to his own apartment in block 4...

Considering that Jez Wilkins had spent 3 or 4 minutes chatting together with Gerald McCann at the gate of apartment 5A, and thereafter both going their separate ways, McCann back to the tapas bar, and Wilkins back to his apartment, that if the shutter had been raised by that stage already, the window open, and the curtains flailing, at a window on the opposite side of the apartment where Gerald McCann appeared to have been busy in the bushes of his garden, or had he left the apartment via the patio door on the other side of the building, and then to go directly to the tapas bar, that Jez Wilkins would not have gone back to the tapas bar after him to inform Gerald McCann that he had left a window open with his young children by all accounts sleeping, alone, and at risk back in apartment 5A?

And, then of course, if by the time Jez Wilkins had said his farewell to Gerald McCann on the pavement in the vicinity of the gate which afforded access to the bushes in the garden, and the sliding patio door on the poolside of the apartment, and the shutter to the ground floor bedroom window had not been raised up, nor the window open, and no curtains flailing when Jez made his way back to his own apartment, then of course Jane Tanners 'TANNERMAN' could not possibly have been the would be abductor who took Madeleine McCann in his àrms through the bedroom window, already...

On at least 5 separate occasions that we already know about, 9pm, 9.05pm, 9.10pm 9.15pm, and 9.30pm, none of the four people who had the opportunity to notice the window shutter of apartment 5A raised up, the window open, and the curtains flailing (Mathew Oldfield, Gerald McCann, Jane Tanner Jez Wilkins and Mathew Oldfield) saw anything to remotely inspire anyone into believing that an abductor kidnapped Madeleine through that window...

It's not possible to force open the metal window shutters from the outside without causing noticeable damage to the shutter, and leaving clear evidence of tool marks also visible...

Any intruder inside apartment 5A, would have no need to climb out of the children's bedroom window, there was no need for any would be kidnapper to force open the window shutter, or to force the window to enter the premises, because according to the McCanns they left the sliding patio door on the road side of apartment 5À unlocked. Not only that, but a suspect would know that the patio door of apartment 5A might be unlocked if the metal shutter on the patio door was raised up. However, the door itself could still be locked. Alternatively, if the shutter is fully down, the door beyond the shutter could be unlocked. The mechanism for raising and lowering the metal shutter to the patio door, and for locking, or unlocking the patio door itself are fitted on the inside wall and or door.

I don't believe that the McCanns left the metal shutter of the patio door of apartment 5A fully raised, and the patio door itself unlocked. At best the shutter was lowered down when they left, and the patio door could have been left unlocked, but you wouldn't be able to enter the apartment via the unlocked patio door, because your ability to get beyond the lowered metal shutter which can only be raised and lowered by operating the raise and lowering mechanism fitted inside beyond the locked off metal shutter, and the unlocked patio door...

This leads me to suspect, that if someone did enter apartment 5A and take Madeleine, that they did not enter or exit via the childrens bedroom window, but that they had a duplicate key for the roadside door, or that nothing of the sort happened involving a would be abductor, or kidnapper, the parents made the story up...

It has suddenly dawned on me why Gerald McÇann was initially worried about what (if anything) Jez Wilkins might have seen or taken note of in the moments before he actually crossed the street and spoke to Gerald McCann at the gate of apartment 5A - from his vantage point on the other side of the street Jez Wilkins would have clearly been able to see whether or not the metal shutter to the patio door of apartment 5A was raised up, or as the case may be lowered down and unable to be raised or lowered by anyone on the outside of the patio door, because the mechanism for raising or lowering the shutter could only be operated by someone inside the apartment...

Imagine for one moment that that patio door metal shutter was lowered down and that Jez Wilkins knew the significance of it being down, for example, that Gerald McCann had not left apartment 5A by the patio door on the poolside of the apartment and he would have been suspicious of Gerald McCann ferreting around in the bushes in the front garden of apartment 5A? Also bear in mind the significance of the Grimes dog later on giving positive alerts in those bushes of that same garden..

On his way up the street after a visit to the toilet at the tapas bar of the Ocean Club, he had crossed over the street so that by the time he was approaching the nearest corner of the McCann apartment he was already travelling up the right hand side of the street, with the mini reception the alleyway, and apartment 5A, were to his left on the opposite side of the street. As such there would have been several opportunities to see whether or not the metal shutter of the patio door to apartment 5A, was raised, or lowered - using google earth Images I have successfully been able to recreate the general view available to Jez Wilkins prior to him seeing Gerald McCann exiting the metal gate of his apartment...

As I say if the metal shutter was down on the McCann patio door, Gerald McCann could not have come out from 5A by that route. He would have gone in, then come out of the road side door. So, if he entered and exited apartment 5A using the other door, what was he doing in the bushes of the garden below the apartments patio?

The view of apartment 5A's patio door area,  by Jez Wilkins from positions on the right hand side of the street takes on further significance because eye witnesses observed a man on different occasions who gave them an impression that the men were watching apartment 5A from the same general area that Jez Wilkins had on another occasion....

The PJ were that convinced that the parents and all their friends had got rid of Madeleine McCanns body, that they even searched underground tombs beneath St Vincents church..

Not very far away, the derelict building across the street from the church held dark secrets...

Just want to mention that if a guest leaves their apartment and locks the main door with a key and takes the key with them, anyone inside the apartment (let's say, 5A) can open the door by operating a catch built into the internal lock mechanism with no requirement to posses a door key...
