Place: Praia da Luz, Lagos
--- Comes as a witness; doesn't understand Portuguese; RJQE
Murat assigned as interpreter.
--- Has been in Portugal since the 18th of March;
--- She came to Portugal to work for "Mark Warner", which
company has a contract with the "Ocean Club" resort for the care
of guests' children.
--- That care service is carried out in four different
locations, according to the ages of the children.
--- Indicated that there are the following services offered:
---"BabyClub" (from 4 months until one year)
--- This care centre is next to the "Ocean Club" main reception
area.
---"Toddler" (children from one to two years of age)
--- This care centre is next to the "Tapas" restaurant.
--- For children between three and five years the "Mini" service
care centre is next to the main reception.
---"Junior/Kids" (children ages six until 9)
--- This care centre is next to the "Millenium" restaurant.
--- She states that there exists a further service, called
"Dining Out Service", for taking care of children during dinner
time [evening/night] located above the main reception, between
the hours of 19h30 and 23h30.
--- Further still is the "Babysitting" service between 19h30 and
01h00 carried out in the apartments of the persons using it.
--- She works as supervisor only in the "Toddler" and
"Junior/Kids" services at the "Tapas" and "Millenium" locations.
--- As part of her work she frequently takes the children for
swimming, walks on the beach and to the garden [play area] next
to the tennis courts.
--- Knew the McCann family since 29th of April as they would drop
off their toddlers, Sean and Amelie, in the Toddler Club;
--- From 29 April until 3 May she was with those children every
day.
--- She also knew Madeleine as she would frequently come talk to
her brother and sister when picked up by her parents;
--- She never had Madeleine in her care.
--- From what she was able to observe, Madeleine was an active
and sociable child and that when with her siblings [at
collection time] she was excited and happy to see them.
--- She states that during her work, either at the care centres
or at the outside places where she took the children to play,
she never noticed, in the time she has been here Portugal,
anyone in particular acting suspiciously or watching the
children.
--- She states that she never heard any comments about such
things from her colleagues.
--- Notwithstanding her and her colleagues being English, in the
time she has been in Portugal she has met Portuguese people, and
no-one has ever asked questions about her work, about the
children she cares for or the McCann family in particular.
--- She states that since the disappearance of Madeleine she has
seen or heard nothing that could explain what was behind it [the
cause of it].
