All of the Tapas are involved by the simple fact they have all
lied. Two are only of interest. The witness statement of
Dianne Webster and Russel O’ Brian. PJ statements and
not the ones in Leicester.The Leicester statements have
no value.
O’Brian claims his daughter was sick and Jane went alone to dinner
around 20H35/20H40..O’Brian also claims to have left 5
minutes later. When he arrived all the adults were
there, without the children. David and Fiona were
missing and Dianne Webster clearly then not all the
adults were there. The time almost 9 p.m..
Dianne Webster, in her statement said she arrived with the Paynes
approx. 21.00H. She does not recall, but thinks perhaps
Gerry and Matt had not been in the Restaurant. I have no
interest in Matt only Gerry. Gerry would be by now on
his way to or in the apartment..We know this because he
met with Jez Wilkins.
In this regard, asked specifically whether, on the journey to the
restaurant, if they had passed either of the two
individuals described in the preceding paragraph, she
answered categorically not.
Questioned about the members who, during the dinner, had absented
themselves from the restaurant, the witness says that,
as she recalls, there were some people who left, failing
to identify which, except for Russell who had left the
restaurant and taken a little more time than usual due ,
from what she knows, his daughter being sick.
Asked, she states that it would be normal for one member of each of
the couples to get up regularly in order to check in
their apartments if the children were well.
She clarifies that the practice was for each couple to check their
own children, it not being usual for anyone to check the
children of other couples.
The question asked, she thinks that up to the date of the
disappearance it had never happened that anyone had
entered the apartment of another couple in order to
check their offspring.
Nevertheless, it seems that the couple Payne and the witness, did
not make any trips to apartments, because they had an
intercom called the “baby monitor”, through which sounds
or noises of the children could be heard.
Prompted to state for the record the movements that occurred that
night, during the above dinner, the witness reiterated
that she could not say specifically who had left nor
when they had done so.
Therefore, she can only say with precision that, at around 22.00
Kate McCann returned to the restaurant, seemingly in
panic, communicating to others the fact of Madeleine’s
disappearance.
Asked about the reaction of other members of the group when they
heard the above from Kate, the witness says that
everyone, except the witness, left the restaurant and
went to the apartment of the couple McCANN in order to
find out what was going on.
In turn, as relates to her, the witness says she stayed at the
restaurant for about five minutes, then, noting that the
remaining members of the group had not returned, she
followed in the direction of the McCANNS’ apartment.
In that apartment she found that KATE was completely in panic, in
“state of shock “.
Because she was asked, she states that she entered the apartment by
the sliding glass door of the patio at the back, which
gives access to the lounge. Then she went to the
children’s bedroom, noting that there she found KATE and
the twin siblings of MADELEINE .
She added that she did not remember too much detail about the
scenario that she found in that bedroom, other that what
she said above. However, she states that KATE had
repeatedly commented that, on arriving at the bedroom,
she had found the window of the room, with its shutter,
both open. Yet, she [DW] did not notice, upon entering
the room, if the window was or was not open.
However, she wants to stress that immediately afterwards, she went
outside the apartment in order to ascertain whether she
would be able to raise the shutters by hand from the
outside, and found it was impossible for her.
Consequently she infers that at the time of her arrival
at the apartment the window would have been closed
already.
Because she was asked, she says she does not know if the window,
and the shutter, of the couple’s bedroom were open or
not, in that she did not enter that room.
Prompted about the conditions of light inside the apartment at the
time, the witness believes that they were good, judging
that the lights were lit as she recalls no darkness.
Regarding the bedroom previously occupied by Madeleine, she does
not remember if the lights were lit, but knows that when
she entered the twins were still sleeping in their beds,
which makes her think that maybe those lights were
switched off. She added that, for her to see the twins
and their cradles, and the bed of MADELEINE, the
darkness would not be complete, but that the room had
some light she thinks must have been from the light of
the lounge.
She adds that that night, and after the occurrence of the facts
under investigation, she was in the apartment on two
separate occasions. At the time described above she
remained about 10 minutes in the apartment.
After this time she returned to the restaurant to get her handbag
as well as the MCCANN couple’s camera and “baby monitor”
of her daughter, and was soon back again in the
apartment.
The question being asked about the people that were inside the
apartment of McCANN at that time, the witness said that
the McCANN couple were present (although on the first
occasion she had no recollection of having seen GERRY),
and FIONA, not remembering any other people that were
there. However, she admits the possibility of there
being [others] inside the apartment, including David, in
that, as mentioned above, all of them had gone to the
apartment following the news that KATE had given.
The question asked, she states to know that male members of the
group undertook a search around [outside of] the
apartment to try to locate Madeleine, which was
absolutely fruitless. The deponent states that FIONA had
asked her to move to their daughters to make sure that
everything would be well with them, hence the deponent
will have returned to her apartment from which she did
not leave anymore.
What did Dianne Webster really go back to collect from the table,
if anything? Waiter said there were only coats and
jackets left behind . Would a woman leave her handbag
and an expensive camera unguarded at the table..she
certainly seemed in no hurry to check on her own grand
children . Her state of mind, going outside and checking
the shutter seems to suggest she did not believe Kate .
Did Dianne Webster know the plan and want no part of it?…Dianne,
listening to the baby monitor on the table, not
listening for her grand children but the movements
coming from apartment 5a. , through the baby monitor
Dianne would be able to hear muffled sounds of someone
collecting the heavily sedated twins, sedated so they
would not wake or remember their journey …Then and only
then did she rise and slowly walk to Apartment 5A. Her
witness statement correct ‘I saw Kate, and the twins in
their cots’. But she does not mention seeing Dr.Gerald
McCann, he had yet to return . |
