'they've taken her', claims new witness |

A new witness who was the first to see Kate McCann moments after she realised
her daughter Madeleine had disappeared has given a dramatically different
account of what happened that night.
A waiter at the Portuguese holiday complex where the family were staying said
instead of running back to the tapas bar where she was dining with her husband
Gerry and friends, Kate McCann raised the alarm from the balcony of their
apartment.
The Portuguese man said that instead of running back to the tapas bar where the
McCanns and their friends were dining Kate McCann screamed: "They've taken
her, they've taken her, they've taken our little
girl."
This version of events contrasts dramatically with the account friends of the
McCanns have given.
It has previously been claimed that the 39-year-old GP raised the alarm when
she ran back to the restaurant on 3 May shouting: "Madeleine's gone,
Madeleine's gone."
Detectives leading the case into the four-year-old's
disappearance have always insisted her first words were "they've taken
her" but have only today revealed she screamed these words from the
balcony of the family's holiday apartment at the Ocean Club in the Portuguese
town of Praia da Luz.
According to the Portuguese newspaper Diario de Noticias, detectives in the Policia Judiciaria — Portugal's
criminal investigation department — are looking particularly closely at the new
evidence.
They are understood to view this as suspicious because it indicates that Mrs
McCann had already ruled out the possibility of Madeleine wandering off, and
regard it as possible evidence that she was already engaged in a cover-up.
But friends of the couple have always insisted Mrs McCann reacted with such
horror that they are convinced she could not have faked it.
They re-interviewed at least three Ocean Club workers —a receptionist and two
waiters at the tapas restaurant last week.
The waiter is reported to have told colleagues Mrs McCann was in "a state
of panic". Mr McCann and the seven friends dining with the couple then
came running out to see what had happened.
They also insist that both the child's parents were so distraught it would have
been impossible for them to have killed their child several hours earlier.
The Portuguese police are also looking the 14 text messages Gerry McCann sent
at dinner shortly before his daughter's disappearance.
This development comes as it was revealed that the couple, declared suspects in
their daughter's disappearance in September, could sue
the Portuguese police for failure to find their daughter.
The couple could sue for an estimated £1million if the investigation is closed,
it was reported. |
