THE TAPAS GROUP

At the Ocean Club all four families had apartments in Waterside Gardens Block 5. Gerry’s and Kate’s ground floor apartment, 5a, was on a street corner. The group occupied two of the neighbouring apartments, 5b and 5d, and another on the floor above.

The group first spent time together at Dave and Fiona’s wedding in Italy in 2003. Now they had eight children between them. Madeleine was the oldest, her fourth birthday a week after they would return from the Algarve.

Relatives spoke out after Madeleine’s parents Kate and Gerry and their friends were accused of maintaining a pact of silence over the events of the night the girl was snatched. One report claimed police were concerned over inconsistencies in their statements and were treating the nine as suspects.

 

McCann's ----  on the night Madeleine disappeared are nearly all doctors or other professionals and all have vigorously protested the couple's innocence.

Jane Michelle Tanner: 36
[apartment 5D - Ground floor]
She provided the most crucial evidence, saying she saw a man carry a child from the apartment wrapped in a blanket at 9.15pm. She thought nothing of it until the alarm was raised an hour later. Her description of the child's pyjamas matched Madeleine's.

[The mother-of-two 
Ella O'Brien, aged 3 years and Evie O'Brien, aged one year.  
She said the man was 5ft 10in tall and aged about 35. Her description of the child's clothing matched Madeleine's pyjamas. Miss Tanner has never publicly discussed what she saw.]

RUSSELL O'BRIEN AND JANE TANNER (Both aged 36) Year 2007
A university friend of David Payne's, Russell James O'Brien is also a doctor, who worked in Leicester. He and Ms Tanner have two children, the older one the same age as Madeleine. This daughter, the newspaper Sol reported yesterday, was vomiting on the night the toddler disappeared, so Ms Tanner spent much of the evening away from the dinner table. She is a key witness on the night of the disappearance. 9:15pm Jane Tanner told police that at this time she went to check on her daughter, who was ill, and recalled seeing Mr McCann talking to Mr Wilkins. As she went into the apartment, she saw a man aged around 35 carrying a little girl wrapped in a blanket. Jane Tanner, a 38-year-old marketing executive, was the first of the "Tapas Nine" to speak publicly - to the BBC Panorama programme.

Ms Tanner's partner, he lived near the McCann's in Leicester before moving to Devon. He left the dining table for 25 minutes to look after his young daughter, who was ill.

An endocrinologist at Kingston Hospital Surrey, he worked with Gerry McCann in Leicester before moving to London with his wife Rachael. He checked on the McCann children at 9.30pm, but did not look to see if Madeleine was in her bed.


[Together with his wife and Dr Russell O'Brien, he was one of three witnesses brought by Portuguese police to a meeting in July 2007 with Robert Murat, then the only named suspect, to discuss discrepancies over their accounts of what happened that night. They had said they saw Murat near the apartment but he insisted he was at home all evening.

Dianne Webster, 63, the oldest element of the group. This credit controller is the mother of Fiona Payne and the grandmother of two of the children from the group that was spending their holidays in the Ocean Club.

Dianne told the PJ that she could not be precise about who left the Tapas restaurant during dinner on the night that Madeleine disappeared. Fiona’s mother is also the only witness that said each couple was responsible for their own children, and did not enter their friends’ apartments. After Kate returned to the restaurant – visibly upset and yelling “they’ve taken our Madeleine” – Dianne was the only one who stayed seated at the Tapas’ table, leaving some 5 minutes later.

At 10.15pm she returned to the restaurant to get her belongings (purse and keys?). Dianne Webster, born in 1944 lives in Bedford (60/70 miles from Leicester) together with a J.C. Webster
