Witness Statement
Cecilia Paula Dias Firmino
do Carmo
Date/Time: 2007/05/06 22H00
Occupation: Public Relations
Place of Work: Millenium restaurant,
OC.
She confirms that she is an employee
of the OC, having signed a seven
month contract in April this year.
She worked in the resort last year,
with the same functions and for the
same period of time.
She says that her job is to receive
guests at the entrance to the
Millenium restaurant and check
whether they have to pay for
breakfast or whether this is
included in their package. She works
from 07.00 to 12.00 from Tuesdays to
Saturdays. She says that she only
attends to guests at breakfast time
except on Wednesdays when there is
Barbecue Night at the restaurant and
when she welcomes guests for dinner,
working from 18.00 to 22.00.
When asked, she says that due to her
work she knows most of the guests
given that most of them visit the
Millenium as it is the only
restaurant that serves breakfast.
When asked, she says that she knows
the parents, the siblings and
Madeleine. She received them for
breakfast on Tuesday, Wednesday and
Thursday, she does not know whether
they went for breakfast on Sunday or
Monday, as these were her days off.
She says that breakfast was served
between 08.00 and 10.00 and that the
McCanns would arrive between 08.00
and 09.00.
She says that the McCanns appeared
to be a normal family and that the
relation between the members of the
family was very good. Madeleine
appeared to be very attached to her
father and was always clinging on to
him. Given her public relations
function she was always very nice to
the guests and would get involved
with the children, saying that
Madeleine was very shy and did not
respond to her. She says that the
only contact she had with guests was
at the entrance to the Millenium
restaurant, she did not have a view
of the tables or the Buffet area.
She heard about the disappearance on
Friday morning 4th May from a
colleague called Alice.
The resort is very calm, the witness
only knows of a few minor thefts and
is very surprised at the news. She
has no information that could help
locate Madeleine.
No more is said. Reads, ratifies,
signs.
