since the
21st of
March, the
date in
which she
began work,
of this

establishment
known as the

situated in
Praia da

(Algarve)
where she

May 2007 and
07 May 2007,
she worked
with
children
between the
ages of 6

known as the
'Junior'

is made up
of 7
children of
both sexes;
. States
that her
hour of work
is very
flexible,
rotating and
coincides
with the
weekly plan

activities.
Because she
is asked,
she
clarifies
that she had
formal
training in
England, for
two years,
in order to
exercise her
child
educator
functions;
. The
deponent
further
clarifies
that the
Junior group
does not
find itself
subdivided
from the
other
groups, in
that, at
this moment,
there are
not enough
children
that permit
it;
. relative
to the facts
of the
investigation
the witness
clarifies
that in her
daily
schedule
mentioned
she only, on
one
occasion,
had contact
with
Madeleine
McCann, for
about 30
minutes 'who
was treated
as Maddie' in
that she had
to
substitute
for her
colleague,
who, at that
time, was
responsible
for the
group whose
name is
Emma, as she
had to go to
the Tapas to
take care of
the
refreshments
of
Madeleine's
group. For
this, the
deponent had
the charge
of
accompanying
that group
towards the
beach until
the MiniClub
where they
stayed for a
few minutes,
and from
where they
left for the
restaurant,
mentioned
above, in
order to
have dinner.
She
clarifies
that when
Madeleine
ate her
food, her
parents were
close and
accompanied
her;
.
Questioned,
she states
that
Madeleine
McCann
related to
the group of
children
'MiniClub'
who are
supervised
by a
colleague of
hers, whose
name is Amy,
and who
coordinates
her workers,
for who she
only knows
first names,
Cat and
Emma,
employees
who worked
with the
group during
the week in
question,
from 29
April to 04
May, 2007;
.
Questioned,
she states
that the
minor in
questions
appeared to
her a calm
child,
happy, but
quiet.
States that
Maddie was a
very pretty
child,
notwithstanding,
she did not
stick out
for this
fact.
However, she
furthers
that the
same child,
from what
she saw, was
a child who
did stick
out,
precisely as
she was
calmer and
shier that
the others;
.
Questioned,
she furthers
that she had
no contact
with
[Maddie's]
parents;
. That on
the 03 of
May, 200, at
around
22h30, after
having left
the
apartment
where she is
living,
close to the
establishment
mentioned,
together
with two
more
colleagues,
also
residents
there, whose
name are
Leanne and
Sarah, she
found her
colleague
Amy. That
during their
discussion
she was
informed
that
Madeleine
McCann had
disappeared
and that
they were
looking for
her. For
this reason,
together
with her
colleagues,
they also
began
searching
for
Madeleine
McCann;
. That
during the
search she
carried out,
together
with her
colleagues
(employees
of the Ocean
Club) others
were also
participating
from the
establishment
ion
question;
.
Subsequently,
she cannot
precisely
state the
hours but
indicates
that at
around
midnight,
she noticed
that the
locale also
consisted of
local
authorities
who were
taking
notice of
the
occurrence
and
initiating
respective
measures for
this type of
situation;
.
Questioned,
the deponent
states that
the searches
made by
elements of
the Ocean
Club
terminated
around 04H00
on the
following
day, 04 May,
2007, to
negative
results.
That
morning,
close to
08H30, the
began
searching
anew in the
complex, and
the deponent
was with a
group who
looked for
the child in
a part of
the tourist
complex;
.
Questioned,
the deponent
states that
she did not
have direct
contact with
the minor at
issue,
Madeleine
McCann, and
is not aware
of her
habits or
that of her
parents, nor
was she told
about any
strange
situation
regarding
the child or
f another
period of
time in
which she
worked in
Portugal;
. It was
about one
week ago, on
a date for
which she
cannot be
precise,
while she
was
accompanied
by her
friend
Leanne, and
going in the
direction of
her
residence,
on a street
located
close to the
building
where she
lives, when
they were
cornered by
an
individual
who passed
by them,
very slowly,
at the wheel
of a vehicle
of make and
model she
did not know
but the time
but it did
not seem
recent. At
passing, the
individual
invited them
for a beer,
to which
they quickly
declined.
She adds
that she did
not pay the
individual
much
attention,
so that he
would not
continue to
bother them,
but this
fact only
allowed her
to retain
his physical
characteristics' he
had short,
black hair.
Urged, she
states if
she was
confronted
by this
person or
his
photograph,
she would
not be
capable of
identifying
him. That
she did not
observe any
other
characteristics
signs of the
individual
like the
vehicle that
he drove. A
few days
later, in
conversation
with her
colleagues,
Leanne, Cai
and Rhiannon
she was told
that an
individual
in a white
commercial
vehicle, had
cornered
them. That
in none of
these
situations
was it
possible for
Leanne to
capture the
license
plate of the
commercial
vehicle
mentioned
above.
Questioned,
she states
that she saw
never saw
the above
referenced
individual
again;
.
Questioned,
the deponent
states that
beyond this
situation,
on another
occasion, an
event caught
her
attention.
An
individual
of the male
sex, in
Praia da
Luz, next to
a caf'
whose name
she does not
know, was
playing a
guitar until
the day of
the facts,
now under
investigation.
on the night
Maddie
disappeared
and while
she was
involved
with a group
searching,
mentioned
prior, they
encountered
a vehicle,
whose make
and model
she does not
know, of
while
colour,
commercial,
parked on
top of a
hill, where,
she cannot
identify. At
this point,
some of the
group
elements
banged on
the window
of the
vehicle and
the back
doors and
saw the
person who
habitually
played the
guitar on
the beach.
He was
covered with
blankets,
reading a
book and
drinking a
beer, with
the help of
a
flashlight.
Questioned,
they did
were not
able to
observe in
detail the
interior of
the vehicle.
She add that
the
individual
was asked
whether he
had seen a
minor of
about four
years of age
and the same
responded,
jocularly,
that on that
night, no
one knocked
on the doors
of his
vehicle;
. For the
reason she
was asked,
she state
that she
never spoke
to anyone
who were not
her
colleagues,
regarding
the children
with whom
she worked;
. Adds that
she has no
knowledge of
any type of
situation
which she
finds
strange
and/or
another
which could
be directly
or
indirectly
related to
the
disappearance
of Madeleine
McCann;
. Nothing
more said,
having read
the
statement,
finds it in
conformity
and signs
it;
. The
document is
duly signed
by me, Pedro
Florindo, an
Inspector
with this
