SUBJECT: NUIPC
201/07.0GALGS ' Disappearance of
Madeleine McCann
This report is based on a time
line (resulting from the
depositions made to the Pol'ia
Judiciara and the 'Control Risk'
by five elements of the G9, the
manager of the clients support
Service of Mark Warner's and by
other witnesses, having a text
been performed by the British
analyst) and several
Communications chronograms, both
elaborated and sent by the
Analysis Sector of the British
Police that, within the police
cooperation act, was in
Portugal.
All the elements were analyzed
and checked by this BCAI, where
only one or another discrepancy
was detected (between the 1st
and 2nd statements of some
elements of the G9)
OBJECTIVE:
Based on the traffic of SMS and
phone calls, done and received,
registered on the BTS (Vodafone,
TMN and Optimus) that cover the
area of Praia da Luz, produced
by the identified mobile phones
of the G9, since 07:30h of the
02/05/07 to the 24:00h of the
04/05/07, to check the
testimonies and the relations
between the users and others.
[NOTE:
Table with G9 phone numbers
suppressed]
HISTORIC
On May, 28th , 2007, coming from
the Uk, arrived at the Ocean
Club on Praia da Luz ' Lagos,
four British couples and the
mother of one feminine element
of those.
The travelling and the staying
of the group was organized in
the Uk through the Mark Warner's
Agency, the same that on the
previous year had organized a
travel to Greece.
The returning should occur on
May the 5th.
Every couple had children with
ages below 4.
COMPOSITION OF THE GROUP:
Gerald McCann + Kate Healy =
Madeleine (4 y.o.) and the twins
Sean and Amelie (2 y.o.)
Russell O'Brien + Jane Tanner =
Ella (3 y.o.) and Evie (1 y.o.)
Mathew Oldfield + Rachael
Mampilly = Grace (')
David Payne + Fiona Payne +
(Dianne Webster) = Scarlett (1
y.o.) and Lilly (3 y.o. )
INFORMATION
The Place:
The apartment of the McCann at
the Ocean Club is situated on
the ground floor, on the East
side of the building and can be
accessed:
Through the front door, the same
where it is situated the window
of Madeleine and the twin's
bedroom (photos on page 12)
Through the two glass doors, in
the living room and another in
the bedroom of the couple, on
the opposite side of the
apartment, doors that lead to a
veranda, that can be accessed by
a step of stairs through a small
gate, coming from the lateral
street. NOTE: this last access
was the one most used for being
closer to the restaurant.
The living room door used to
remain closed but not locked, in
order to be opened from the
exterior.
Routines:
In a general manner the days
passed at the Ocean Club by this
group of friends and their sons
obeyed to the following routine:
The children had their breakfast
with the parents;
Once the meal was finished, they
were taken to the local
mini-clubs where they developed
the recreational activities
according to their ages;
At lunch time they returned to
the parents company, at the end
of which they returned to the
same clubs;
During the morning and on the
afternoons after leaving the
children at the Kid Clubs, the
parents involved into several
recreational activities, namely
tennis, jogging, reading, etc.;
At around 18:00h the parents
went to fetch the children;
Between 19:30/20:00h, after the
bath and dinner, they put them
to bed/sleep;
Except on the first day, this
group of friends dined at the
tapas, close to the pool of the
Ocean Club, where they reserved
a table for nine persons;
The dinner started at around
20:30h/21:00h and prolonged
until 24:00h;
By the inexistence or lack of
knowledge of the parents about a
supervising service for children
over the period of the dinner,
they took turns on supervising
going to the apartments every
half an hour, approximately;
This supervising was developed
either by the parents or by the
other, in this last case, just
passing by the windows of the
rooms and listening if there
were cries;
THE DEPOSITIONS/DECLARATIONS
On the night of May 3, at
20:30h, the McCann were the
first to arrive at the 'Tapas'
restaurant. The other elements
of the group kept arriving until
21:00h.
At 21:00h Mathew went to see his
daughter. He listened close to
rooms of the rest of the
children and everything was
calm.
At 21:05H/21:10H Gerald went to
check his children. He entered
through the sliding door and
found it strange that the
children's bedroom door was
slightly more opened than when
they went out. But he assumed
that Madeleine had gotten up and
gone back to bed.
He saw that Madeleine and the
twins were in their beds, quiet.
He went to the bathroom and got
out through the sliding doors.
On the street, close to the
gate, he met Jez, known from the
tennis, with whom he spoke for 3
to 5 minutes.
At that moment (21:15h) coming
from the restaurant to check her
children, Jane passed by them.
She says that at that moment she
saw, up the street, on the
perpendicular, at about 10
meters, a man crossing carrying
a child (see map and photo pages
50/51).
The child was in pyjamas and
without shoes, but she only
found strange the fact that she
wasn't covered.
Only later, after learning about
the colours of the pyjamas, Jane
concluded that the child she
says she saw held by the man
could be Madeleine.
She didn't notice if the
shutters of Madeleine's bedroom
window were up or down.
Neither Gerald nor Jez noticed
Jane's passage, nor did they see
the man carrying the child.
At 21:30h Mathew got out of the
'Tapas' to go check his
children. He told Kate that he
would control her children also.
He entered 5A by the living room
sliding door.
He found that in Madeleine's
room, where the twins were also
staying, there was more light
than normal, it seemed that the
shutters were lifted.
He didn't take notice and just
looked into the room through the
semi opened door.
He says that he saw the twins in
their cots and that everything
was calm.
Because Madeleine's bed was
standing to the closest wall he
was unable to see her.
At 22:00 Kate went to the
apartment.
She went through the sliding
doors and immediately noticed
that the door to the children's
bedroom was totally opened, the
window was opened, the shutters
raised and the curtains opened
to the sides.
The twins were sleeping in their
cots but Madeleine had
disappeared.
TIME LINE
Taking into account the
depositions of the elements of
the group and others, the goal
was to determine eventual
contradictions and establish the
moment of the disappearing of
Madeleine.
From that work it was possible
to conclude that:
On May the 3rd, 2007, at around
18:00h (time when she left the
Kid's Club) until 22:00 h (when
the mother gave the alarm),
nobody but the parents ' Kate
and Gerald ' saw Madeleine. From
the control realized, Mathew, at
21:00h only did it from the
exterior close to the shutter
and at 21:30h entered the
apartment but didn't check if
Madeleine was there. (unless
David had seen her between
18:30h and 19:00h, at Gerald's
request).
Discrepancies on the
declarations:
-During his first interrogation,
Gerald (page 34) said that at
21:05h, when he went to the
apartment to check the children,
he entered through the main
door; on the second inquisition
(page 891) he rectified and said
he entered by the sliding door
that leads to the veranda.
-On his first testimony, Gerald
said that Kate, at around
22:00h, went to the apartment
and entered through the main
door with the key. Immediately
after entering noticed that the
children's bedroom door was
opened back, the window opened
and the shutter lifted (if it
had happened that way it
wouldn't be after entering that
such a picture would have been
noticed. She would have noticed
that immediately before entering
since she would have passed in
front of the window of her
children's bedroom).
-On the second interrogation,
Gerald said that Kate had
entered through the sliding
door.
-On her interrogation (page 58),
Kate said that she entered
through the sliding door.
-On the second statement, Gerald
said that on May the 3rd he was
playing tennis from 18:00 to
19:00h. At about 18:30h David
Payne passed the court and then
went home. Assuming that Payne
was returning to play tennis,
Gerald asked him to check on
Kate and the children, if
everything was alright.
-During his interrogation (page
66), Payne was not questioned
about this request for it is not
known if he was with Kate and
the children at 18:30/19:00h.
-Mathew on his testimony (pages
52 and 905), declared that, at
21:00h, when controlling from
the exterior the shutters of
Madeleine's bedroom, it was shut
down. But when he entered the
apartment at 21:30h he said
there was more light than normal
in the children's bedroom; that
the curtains were drawn open and
that it seemed that the shutter
seemed opened. (it is surprising
that he hadn't found strange
such a situation that should
have been considered abnormal).
Gerald, when Mathew returned to
the restaurant and said that
everything was okay, declared
that he assumed that the shutter
was closed.
On this way, if the child
carried by the man referred by
Jane was Madeleine, then, the
eventual abductor (considering
the limited time gap between
Gerald's exit and the moment
when Jane saw him) had to be in
the apartment when he went there
at 21:05/21:10h; even because
Mathew at 21:00 had made a
control from the exterior and
assured that the shutters from
Madeleine's bedroom were closed.
If it wasn't Madeleine, and Jane
afterwards, although
unintentionally, has created
that conviction, the
disappearance could have
occurred after that time, that
is, between Gerald's exit and
the entrance of Mathew (21:30h),
or between the exit of this last
one and the arrival of Kate
(22:00h).
Also because Gerald and Jez were
talking at the entrance of the
little side gate to the
apartment, and t about 25 metres
from the crossroads when the
mentioned man was passing
carrying the child, and they
declare they didn't see neither
Jane passing past them or the
man.
DIAGRAM OF CONNECTIONS AND
CHRONOGRAM
The data ' which were grouped
into a sample of annexes '
correspond to a graphic
representation of the date/hour
and/or sense of the
communications established
between May 2nd and 5th, 2007,
with origin or destination to
the phones associated with the
'elements of the group',
identified in the process,
constituted by the coupe McCann
and their seven friends (to whom
we attribute the sigla G9)
Apart from the diagram of the
connections that represent the
contacts established (21-04-2007
to 06-05-2007) between them or
with other elements not
belonging to the group, a
chronogram was produced for each
one, taking as criteria the same
period ' from 07:30 h 02-05-2007
to 24:00h 04-05-2007 '
independently of the
communication having been
registered only on the 3rd. When
within such interval no contacts
were established, as happened
with Fiona Payne, no graph was
realized.
In order to obtain a more ample
idea, a general chronogram was
developped, contemplating the
communications of the whole
group but only during the day of
the event.
The connections diagram, where
it is reflected the volume of
contacts for each individual,
shows the different magnitudes
of the traffic between each
other.
However, only crossing the
diagram with the chronograms can
we obtain a clearer vision in
relation to the moments when the
contacts were produced. At doing
so it's easily perceptible that
the communications under
analysis are disproportionate
among the members, being
notorious the concentration of
calls on the subsequent hours
after Madeleine's disappearance.
And it is also understandable
that the bigger flux is aimed at
the McCann.
Taking the common chronogram,
there is a discrepancy between
the lack of contacts in the
afternoon of 03-05-2007 and the
amount of communications
arriving after 22:30h. The
graph's configuration
corresponds to the 'timeline'
that synthesizes the contents of
the depositions of the elements
of the group: almost all were
involved in activities in the
open.

CONCLUSIONS
The analysis we decided to do
was unable, in fact, to reveal
great dissonances or really
pertinent questions, saving,
maybe, the existence of several
numbers contacted (some times
insistently) by some of the
intervenients and whose holder '
because the numbers do not
correspond to national operators
of telecommunications ' are
still unidentified, an
information that could,
eventually, be of some utility.
Restraining this information to
the McCann, once that about the
others it was not detected
communications that could be
reputed as suspect, it is to be
outlined the following:
1. Gerald (447.......), the
numbers:
-447......., from this to that
one, 14 SMS on the day before
the facts, 02-05-2007, and more
4, on the day after the
disappearance, 04-05-20057;
-447........, the only number to
contact the child's father
mobile phone (around 12:24h) of
the afternoon of the day when
she disappeared;
-441........., to which Gerry
makes a long call (more than 11
minutes) around 23:40h on
03-05-2007 and to which he calls
again at 00:05h, 00:13h, 00:21h,
receiving a call back of 2min 28
sec. at 00:27h, the last contact
registered between them;
2. Kate (4479........), the
numbers:
- 447.........., the only number
to contact by SMS, the mobile
phone of Madeleine's mother on
the afternoon of 03-05-2007, at
12:31h and 12:34h, being the
following communications very
short (6 secs and 29 secs) made
by Gerry to his wife, after the
disappearance, at 23:14h and
23:17h;
-447............., there is a
register of 20 messages between
this number and Kate's mobile,
and also 5 phone calls during
the evening and morning of
04-05-2007, at 03:07h; 03:23h;
03:28h; 08:34h and 08:52h, with
the respective duration of 03
secs, 3min 4 secs; 6min and 56
secs, 1 min 1 sec and 1 min an
15 secs, the two last ones made
by Kate.
-447........, from which comes,
at 04:36h of 04-05-2007 one
single long communication (28
min 47 secs).
-441........., 441.......... and
441.........., because they were
numbers through which were
maintained relatively long
conversations on the early
morning of 04-05-2007
(6min47sec; 9min 45sec; 11min 42
sec).
It must be remembered that none
of the graphs covers the calls
operated through the house
phones, because they do not use
the G.S.M.system of the mobile
communications, and so they do
not activate the antennas (BTS)
whose traffic was used for the
composition of these diagrams.

RECOMMENDATIONS/SUGGESTIONS
In relation with the Time Line:
-In order to determine with more
exactitude the period when
Madeleine was not seen by anyone
other but the parents
(03-05-2007 ' 17h30/18h00 '
20h00), find out if David Payne
went to the apartment (at the
request of Gerald) at 19h00.
-Clarify if Mathew was in the
apartment 5A, at 21h30, how were
the curtains, the window and the
shutters in the children's room.
About the chronograms:
-Try to figure out, close to the
respective authorities, the
identity of the holders of each
of the phone numbers mentioned
above. Such elements could help
clear the facts.

Subject: Group timeline after
Madeleine's disappearance
Date:14-08-2007
Dear Sirs,
This report contains a summary of
the 'timeline' that shows the
movements of the group after the
disappearance of Madeleine McCann
from apartment G5A in the Mark
Warner resort in Praia da Luz on 3rd
May 2007. It is centred on the
McCann family and the group of
friends who travelled with them on
holiday to Portugal.
This 'timeline' was created based
upon translations of statements made
be elements of the group to the
Portuguese police, from statements
made in English to 'Control Risks'
by five elements of the group and by
Emma Knights, manager of client
support services for Mark Warner,
from various statements and
questioning of Mark Warner staff
made to the Portuguese and British
police and from questioning carried
out at that time.
At about 22.00 when Kate Healy
returned to the apartment to check
on the children, the rest of the
group were at the Tapas
Bar/Restaurant except for Jane
Tanner, who was in her apartment G5D
as, E**e, one of her children was
unwell.
When Kate discovered that her
daughter Madeleine was not in the
apartment (G5A) she ran back to the
Tapas Bar to alert the rest of the
group.
Dianne Webster remained at the table
whilst all the others rushed to the
apartment. Gerry McCann and Kate
Healy were the first to return to
their apartment, where Kate had left
the patio doors completely open and
the twins were fast asleep in their
beds.
Gerald searched the apartment and
stated that the window of the
children's bedroom was open and the
shutter raised. He checked the
shutter before continuing to search
outside.
All the men from the group began to
search the immediate area.
David Payne ran from the McCann's
apartment towards the Millenium
area. Then he turned in the
direction of the church. He searched
the rocky areas of the beach/coast
and checked the stands and boats. He
then returned to the Ocean Club
reception, passing the Millenium
area. David then checked the area
around the walls together with
Matthew Odlfield.
Russell O'Brien was in the McCanns
apartment for a moment only, rushing
out to search the perimeter of the
apartment. Then he went to look for
Madeleine with Matthew Oldfield.
They went in the direction of the
beach. He searched the perimeter of
the tennis courts and the paths
leading to the beach. Russell
searched the gardens and all of the
surrounding area. He searched the
eastern part of the beach,
zigzagging back along the roads to
the McCann's apartment. All the time
more people were joining in the
search and Russell knew the police
had been contacted.
Afterwards he searched the adjacent
apartments to the east of Kate and
Gerry along the Rua da Ramalhete and
more apartments to the east. On some
occasions David Payne was with him.
When Matthew saw that Madeleine was
not in the apartment, he went to the
24 hours reception to ask them to
telephone the police. Matthew spent
most of the night searching the
neighbouring areas for Madeleine
without success. Matthew searched
the road between the apartment and
the cr'he. He searched between the
apartment and the Millenium
restaurant, also along the beach and
finally a cemetery as well as the
road leading back to the apartment.
Part of this search was carried out
with David Payne and Russell O'Brien
and part was carried out alone.
Matthew talked to an Indian
insurance salesman and saw Nathan,
the director of the beach
concession.
Fiona Payne was the only woman from
the group to help in the searches.
Fiona searched the periphery of the
complex ' one search, which she made
alone. When she returned she spent
the rest of the night with Kate.
After waiting at the restaurant
table for five minutes, Dianne
Webster went to the McCann's
apartment where she entered the
children's bedroom and saw Kate with
the twins. Kate insisted on the fact
that the window and shutters were
open when she saw the children,
Dianne went outside to see if she
could raise the shutter from the
outside and found it to be
impossible. Dianne stayed in the
McCann's apartment for about 5
minutes and then returned to the
restaurant to fetch her bag, the
McCann's camera and the baby
monitor. She then immediately
returned to the McCann's apartment.
Gerry and Kate were in the apartment
as well as Fiona. Fiona asked Dianne
to stay with Lily and Scarlet to
check that they were ok. Dianne
returned to the Payne apartment and
stayed there for the rest of the
night.
Rachel Mampilly went to see her own
daughter before going to meet Jane
in her apartment. When they talked
Jane told her that when she had gone
to check on the children she saw
Gerry and Jez talking together as
well as a man carrying a child. Jane
told Rachel that she had not said
anything at the time because nobody
knew that Madeleine had gone missing
and she had not seen the child's
face.
Summary
It is difficult to confirm where all
the elements were in the minutes/
hours after the discovery that
Madeleine was missing. It appears
that most of the women remained
within or near the apartments, Fiona
Payne left and searched around the
complex, before returning to the
McCann's apartment where she stayed
with Kate. Then Emma Knights (client
support director) searched the beach
area and asked Kate what Madeleine
had been wearing. Shortly afterwards
Emma returned to the McCann's
apartment and stayed with Kate.
The men's movements, however, are
more difficult to pinpoint.
Gerald was seen and spoken to by
Neil Berry and Raj Malu. They heard
him calling for Madeleine when they
were sitting on Neil's balcony, not
far from the McCann's apartment.
They both went down to talk to
Gerald and helped in the search.
Both David Payne and Matthew
Oldfield were seen by Emma Knights
when she was on her way to the
beach, the search area to which she
was assigned by Lyndsey Johnson
(child care director and search
coordinator).
At about 01.00 Matthew was with John
Hill (resort manager) when they
knocked on Jeremy Wilkins's door to
ask if he had seen anything.
At about 23.30 a white fair haired
man aged about 30, one of the
friends of the McCann group was seen
by Valerie Kerr and her family when
he asked them if they had seen
Madeleine. They were near to the
chapel. Valerie and Laura returned
to their apartment, changed clothes
and went to help with the search.
Conclusion
In the confusion following the
disappearance of Madeleine it would
be possible that one of the men or
Fiona Payne 'escaped' to join in the
searches again later.
