Place of Work: Millenium Restaurant, OC

She works as a waitress in the Millenium restaurant, OC. She says that this place is about 500 metres away from the apartment block where the events occurred.

The clients who frequent the restaurant are mainly foreigners, especially British people, staying at the resort.

When asked, she says she recalls the parents of the girl who disappeared as they dined in the restaurant on the day they arrived in Portugal, on a Saturday, she does not remember the date. She say that she remembers the twins, Madeleine's siblings, but not Madeleine. although she recognises that she must have seen her in the company of her parents.

When asked she says that she did not see anything on the part of anyone that would indicate the preparation of a criminal act.

She heard about the events on the same day at about 22.30 when she was at the restaurant bar where she works, relaxing with her mother and sister. At that moment, a British individual, a tennis instructor entered the restaurant, and told them what had happened, and headed towards the interior of the space where the pool are, looking for the girl.

She says that because she had had some alcoholic drinks, she was not in a condition to participate in the searches. However, her sister did take part in the searches, together with her boyfriend.

On the following day she found out from the news that the girl was the daughter of the McCann couple who had dined at the restaurant where she works.

She has nothing to add.
