Witness Statement

Ana Marilia do Carmo Silva

Date/Time: 2007/05/06 22H05

Occupation: Hotel Worker

Place of Work: Millenium Restaurant, OC.

She comes to the process as a witness given her occupation as hotel worker in the Millenium restaurant. She has worked there for about one year, although she adds that she has also worked there on previous occasions.

The witness says she knows that a British girl recently disappeared and who had been staying in one of various apartments belonging to the hotel group, with her direct family members (her parents). She heard about the disappearance that took place on 3rd May the following morning when she arrived at work. She says that she was told by a colleague, whose name she does not remember.

She cannot say anything that would help clarify the events as she heard about the disappearance in an indirect way.
She says that the child and her parents frequented the restaurant where they would have breakfast.
When asked, she says that she can not remember the date when they first began to frequent the restaurant.
However she is certain that they frequented the restaurant from the beginning of the week.

She does not know whether they consumed other meals at the restaurant given her working hours.

She can only say that the family appeared normal and affectionate. She never had any contact with the child or her family in other places and the only contact she had with them was professional.

When asked if she had seen the child or family to be involved in any anomalies she responded negatively.

She never saw any strange behaviour by anyone and does not know of any similar occurrences in Praia da Luz and that crimes are not frequent in this area.

No more is said. Reads, ratifies, signs.
