Matthew Oldfield took the opportunity to go and check on the children in the apartment.
Gerald McCann got up to check on the children at 21.10.

On way to the apartment noticed Gerry McCann chatting with Jez whom he had met playing tennis.

One was on the pavement and the other on the road.
Jez was pushing a baby stroller.
JT knew Jez had a young child.

Matthew Oldfield checked on own children and McCanns children.
Matthew Oldfield said he saw twins but not Madeleine but didn’t enter the bedroom.

JT ate quickly left the table and went back to the apartment.
Russell O’Brien returned to Tapas restaurant some time later.
Looked from apartment window to Tapas restaurant and saw that no one from group were there. Was surprised by this, then hears Kate Healy and Fiona Payne in front of apartment calling out for Madeleine.
When JT saw Kate Healy she said Madeleine had disappeared.
JT stayed in apartment due to E*** being asleep E*** waked but did not go to McCanns apartment.
JT convinced that the man she saw carrying a child was involved in the disappearance of Madeleine.
11.20 (sic) hours that means that Matthew Oldfield went to check on McCanns, Madeleine was probably not in the bedroom.
JT believes Matthew Oldfield did not see this therefore didn’t go fully into the bedroom.
Asked why Matthew Oldfield did not do his usual “sound check” from outside the windows of McCanns apartment, JT believes he went into their apartment this time therefore he had assured the McCanns he would check inside this time.
In order to do this, Matthew Oldfield went along the pavement outside the building, to the main entrance to the apartment. Went into his apartment, checked, came out, returned along pavement until he came to rear entrance of McCanns apartment, went up their stairs and entered by sliding glass door.
But JT insists they ask Matthew Oldfield.
JT was confronted by information that the police technical team could find no indication that Madeleine had passed the junction where she indicated that a man had been carrying a girl in his arms.
JT was confronted by information that the police technical team could find no indication that Madeleine had passed the junction where she indicated that a man had been carrying a girl in his arms.
JT stood by her original statement.
At the time she gave little importance to seeing this therefore common sight at Ocean Club.
But she did think it was strange that the child has a blanket/sheet to cover it.
Also that the man was walking quickly.
His trousers were slightly baggy all the way down.
Trousers were khaki, chino style. His coat/jacket was the same colour anorak style.
Shoes were slightly heeled.
The child was in the man’s arms, with her legs in JT’s directions, and not wearing shoes. JT believed it was a girl therefore her pyjamas were light coloured (pink). She did not see the colour of her hair.

She believed she was asleep.
Subsequently she had us doubt it was Madeleine.
Subsequently she had us doubt it was Madeleine.
This was after she had spoken with Fiona Payne who had described Madeleine’s pyjamas.
Asked why she did not tell Kate Healy that night about this sighting, JT said she always avoided mentioning it to the McCanns therefore she didn’t want to increase their suffering.
Asked who has made first booking at Tapas restaurant (May 1st she believes) there were 2 couples possibly English who were at dinner.
One of the Mark Warner staff commented that she had never seen them before and they left before the end of the "Quiz" tournament.
Asked who had made the first booking at Tapas, JT did not know. Also doesn’t know anyone by the name of “Irwin” and no one of this name having dinner with them.

Apart from Jane, only Matthew Oldfield was sick and he missed dinner on Sunday.
JT also mentioned that the Paynes had a radio monitoring system. So they did not have to leave the table to check their children.
