Executive Chef

Concerning the issue of the process
said;
. Is a functionary of the Ocean Club
establishment since the 13th of
January of the current year (2007),
and is employed as executive chef of
the kitchen. He clarifies that along
with being responsible for the five
(5) kitchens (one of whom is the
Tapas) of the Ocean Club, his post
essentially centres on the principal
kitchen next to a reception, close
to the restaurant MIRAGE. His work
takes him occasionally to the other
kitchens;
. He records that the past Thursday,
3rd of May, he left the central
kitchen with the objective of going
to the Tapas restaurant in order to
determine that everything was
functioning smoothly;
. When he arrived there, by vehicle,
at around 21:10, he remembers that
next to the Tapas reception, he saw
a vehicle, dark blue in colour, with
Portuguese license plates. Although
he cannot be definite, he believes
it was a Fiesta or Focus. The
deponent furthers that is was not a
small car, and for this reason it
could very well have been a Focus
and not a Fiesta. He tells that he
does not remember any sticker
indicating that it was a rental car.
Inside the vehicle he saw no one.
. After parking his vehicle, he
entered through the reception of
that restaurant, in the left hand
direction, toward the side opposite
the pool, and passed by the
esplanade. He remembers having seen
in that esplanade, one table,
occupied by three couples, without
children, and all of them adults. On
the esplanade, he encountered no one
else.
. A few minutes later, when it was
around 21H20, he heard some clamour,
which made him leave toward the
restaurant, a few meters away, and
was then informed that a child had
disappeared. Given the importance of
this, believed that he should be in
the surroundings. At that moment, he
did not leave the area of the
restaurant, and did not have the
opportunity to check if the vehicle
mentioned before was situated in the
same location;
. Later, at around 21:40, he left
the restaurant passing through the
same esplanade where moments before,
he had seen the same table occupied
by the three couples, empty, who had
left in the meanwhile various items,
principally clothing. He was told by
his colleagues that the child who
had disappeared was a child of one
of those couples;
. When he left, he noticed that the
dark blue vehicle was no longer in
its location (previously noted) and
does not know of the existence or
any connection between the presence
of that vehicle and the
disappearance of the child;
. Ending, states that during the
days that preceded the facts, he did
not notice any
element/individual/fact that would
have merited his attention;
. And nothing more said, having read
the statement, finds it in
conformity and signs it;
. The document is duly signed by me
?
