Witness Statement
Statement by Jim McGarvey
This statement consisting of
two pages is true and
consistent with my
understanding.
Date: 25th April 2008
I am police Inspector
McGarvey of the
Leicestershire police force,
currently based in the
criminal unit.
In 2007 and in relation to
the Portuguese investigation
carried out into the
disappearance of Madeleine
McCann, I was detached to
Portugal in the role of
communication officer for
the family.
In accordance with the
Portuguese PJ Letter of
Request I was asked to
respond to the following
question:
Was there anything done or
said by Kate or Gerry McCann
in your presence or during
various contacts that could
raise any suspicion that
they could have had any
knowledge of what could have
happened to Madeleine,
beyond the circumstances
described to the Portuguese
investigators.
My reply to the question:
No.
In relation to the above I
would like to mention that
at approximately 20.00 on
the 5th May, I arrived at
the McCann apartment with
other family communications
officers. We were asked
several times during this
meeting about questions that
Gerald and Kate would like
to have followed up and
responded to by the PJ.
I remember that during the
meetings, Kate revealed that
Madeleine had spoken with
her in the morning of her
disappearance and said that
she remembered the twins had
cried during the night and
that she wanted to know why
neither her mother or father
had appeared. Kate asked
herself whether this fact
could have any relation with
Madeleine’s disappearance.
Gerry and Kate also
questioned whether there was
any suggestion that pointed
to the use of drugs to
facilitate Madeleine's
abduction.
This statement was made by
me and is truthful in
accordance with my
knowledge. |
