Witness Statement

Antonio Manuel Ginjeira

Date: 2007/05/08

Occupation: Chef

Place of Work: Ocean Club

He has worked as a chef at the OC for two months and has a 9 month work contract. He returned to work after having spent one month in Portimao hospital with health problems.


With regard to his functions his hours are flexible taking into account its characteristics and the days off of the rest of the team, his place of work is essentially in the central kitchen of the resort, situated next to the Mirage restaurant. He does not carry out activities in any of the other kitchens in the resort, although he has perhaps entered them on occasions.

On the day of the events he was working and left between 21.00 and 22.00, he does not know precisely at what time. When he left, in a dark blue Volkswagen Golf, he does not remember the number plate, but from the year 1999, which was parked next to the reception of the same restaurant, he drove down the road, taking the first left in the direction of Odiaxere. When he arrived there, he did what he always does after work and entered a café, he does not remember its name, but the owner is Mr Angostinho, where he had a few drinks. At about 23.00/23.30 he left the café and went home where he stayed with his girlfriend.

He only heard about the disappearance the following day from the media.

Given the nature of his work and that this takes place in a restricted area, not having contact with clients, he says that he has never seen the family before.

When he began work on Friday at about 11.00, the disappearance was the theme of conversations.

He saw nobody suspicious.
