Police ConstabularyRicardo,
As requested, appended are the statements of Arul and Katherina
Gaspar. I read with curiosity the written statements
given by David Payne but was not able to extricate any
other information besides what is already known.
He declares that he saw Madeleine, for the last time, at 17H00 on
3/5/07 in the McCann apartment. Also present there were
Kate and Gerry.
He did not indicate the motive for being there or what he was
doing. He also cannot indicate how long he stayed. When
asked with whom he was on the afternoon of May 3rd, he
declares that this information was already offered to
the police and cannot remember if anyone else was there.
He does not remember what he was wearing that afternoon.
He took part in the searches, having carried out most of them
alone. He was at times accompanied by Matthew Oldfield.
He did not partake in the searches carried out on the
4th of May, because, on this day, he spent to majority
of time in the police headquarters.
For many questions, he does not give a complete response, affirming
simply that he has already given this information to the
Portuguese police in his declarations.
I examined once again the declarations of Fiona Payne. In her
statements, she states that she went to the McCann
apartment, around 19H00, on the 3rd of May, together
with Kate.
She states afterwards that, 10 minutes later, the husband arrived;
it is not clear which husband she refers to. Her
responses to the questions are vague. She continued to
respond to questions with “they conform with my earlier
statement” or some similar statement.

D.C. Mike Marshalls comments to Ricard Pavo..attached to the Gaspar
statements..
A Leicestershire Police Officer and his doubts written for the
attention of Ricard Pavo. Ricard who Gerry McCann has
called a liar.
I once again decided to look through the Gaspar statements as
though seeing them for the first time.
Arul Gaspar, along with his wife wished to give a statement to
Police. They had concerns and possible information that
could help in the case of Madeleine McCann.
Arul Gaspar in his statement talks of his friendship with the
McCanns. They would chat on the phone exchange e.mails
and meet up four times a year to spend week-ends
together. Between 2001-2005 they were in contact and
went to each others homes.
In the year 2005, a holiday was planned. This was to include three
other couples including the McCanns. Arul is clear ,he
had not met the other couples before. Madeleine was
almost two years and the twins six months.
He goes on, the other couples were Fiona and David Payne and Stuart
and Tara, Arul cannot remember their surname.
One large Villa was rented in Majorca arranged by David Payne ,they
would all spend their holidays together. The Gaspars
only managing one week.
Arul Gaspar says in his statement he remembers the gesture, but
adds we did not comment on this and I thought no more
about it. Arul states he has not spoken with David or
Fiona since 2005.
Katherine Gaspar has a better memory than her husband. However, she
too speaks of the great friendship with the McCanns. The
weekends spent together. In between the year 2002-2003
Katherine mentions a week-end together spent with the
McCanns in Devon.
September 2005 the Gaspars went to Majorca with their (at the time)
wonderful friends the McCanns and two other couples ,who
she had yet to meet. Katherine mentions David and Fiona
Payne who she believes were married. (Same name ,good
assumption) also mentioning Tara and Stuart again like
her husband cannot remember their surname.
Katherine was sitting in between David and Gerry, they were having
a conversation.
This is where I have a problem, the placing of Katherine, to see
both she would have a had to turn to face one and then
turn back to face the other, plus the rudeness of
holding a conversation whilst someone is in the centre
of you both being ignored.
Dr.K.Gaspar claims to have witnessed these same actions at a later
date, this made her more anxious, so anxious ,she
mentioned to her husband Arul to watch the children at
bath time. It seems David was one of the chaps who used
to bathe the children. Katherine, so concerned about
David Payne, still let him bathe her child is a mystery.
Katherine claims to have seen the McCanns only once after this
holiday, at a childs birthday party. There were no more
week-ends away and no more holidays.
Dr.Arul Gaspar has not mentioned in his statement the concerns of
his wife about Payne and bathing their child. The
reason could be that these words were never spoken, or
if they were he does not remember.
Katherine also mentions she thought David may have been interested
in looking at children on the Internet, she had thoughts
of paedophilia.
May 2007 another holiday was planned with a group of Doctors , the
Gaspars were not among this group.
Dr.Arul Gaspar said they had not seen the Paynes again because they
were friends of the McCanns and no other reason.The
Gaspars , although having spent time with the Paynes
under the same roof , David ,who had bathed their child
was not considered a friend.
The Gaspar statements, when you read them speak of a friendship a
friendship that has died. Someone else had taken their
place. The Paynes. Arul said, David was great with the
children he was fun, he saw nothing to make him
suspicious.
Katherine when she walked into the police station that day, did she
walk in as a truly concerned parent who had doubts about
David Payne?..Or were her motives out of spite?..When
giving her statement ,the Detective would have noticed
her demeanor. Most of her statement has little to do
with Madeleine but a lot to do with her dislike of David
Payne. I would imagine this was noticed by the police
and the possible reason it was not forwarded on to PJ…A
woman scorned and using the most wicked way to get back
at the couple who had taken her place? Even if this was
the case and I do not suggest it is so this information
should have been handed over immediately.
Do the Gaspars even exist? We have seen a photograph of every
character who has played a part in this charade. The
only people we have not seen are the Gaspars.
Fiona in her witness statement mentioned how she found Kates
actions odd when placing her hands in front of the twins
faces. She also found it odd they did not wake.
Could be this whole story has been made up to threaten the Paynes
and keep them in line…because they later suspected the
McCanns had sedated the twins. |
