6PM MADELEINE eats her ice cream as the group leave for their holiday apartment. It is the last time she is seen in public.
7.30PM KATE gives Madeleine a bath, then dries her hair, carefully taking out a bead she had put in earlier in the week.
Then she helps her into her pink pyjamas and puts her to bed next to the twins' cots at around 8pm.
As Madeleine snuggles up to her beloved Cuddle Cat toy, she says: "Mummy, I've had the best day ever. I'm having lots and lots of fun."
8PM KATE and Gerry spend half an hour together before meeting friends at the tapas bar, as usual, at 8.30pm. It has a view of the apartments 50 metres away where they are all staying. The McCanns choose not to use the baby-sitting service.
8.30PM THE couple meet seven others at the restaurant including Russell O'Brien and his wife Jane Tanner as well as Dr Matthew Oldfield and his wife Rachael.
9PM GERRY is the first to return to the block, checking on his children at 9.05pm. He sees all three children sound asleep. On his way back to the restaurant, Gerry bumps into Brit Jeremy Wilkins, with whom he had played tennis. Jane Tanner goes to check on her daughter who is ill.
9.15PM AS Jane enters their block - number five - she sees a man carrying what looks like a child wrapped in a blanket. She barely gives him a second glance. The restaurant is buzzing as diners take part in a quiz, organised by aerobics instructor Najova Chekaya.
9.30PM DR Oldfield gets up to look in on his children and offers to check on the McCanns'. Instead of going into apartment 5A he listens at the door. Satisfied the children are sound asleep, he rejoins the party and reports all was well. At around the same time, as the quiz ends, Gerry invites Ms Chekaya, 21, to join their table. She is with them for half an hour. Dr O'Brien also leaves the table for 25 minutes to look after his ill daughter, returning shortly before 10pm.
10PM KATE leaves the group to check on the children. Letting herself into the flat, she opens the door to the kids' bedroom and freezes for a split second. Madeleine's bed is empty. A bolt of terror shoots through her followed by panic. Hysterical, she races back to the restaurant. One witness said she shouts: "They've taken her, they've taken her.
The group run back with her to the apartment and help Kate and Gerry triple check every room, looking under the beds, in the wardrobes, behind the doors. Their panic grows. The couple are said to have known immediately that their daughter had been taken because Cuddle Cat was left on a ledge impossible for Madeleine to reach and a window shutter had been forced open.
10.10PM THE alarm is raised with the resort manager within 10 minutes. The Mirror has learned Gerry bursts into the Ocean Club's reception and asks for a priest and the police.
Told it is too late to get hold of the priest, he then runs down the hill towards the church, stopping cars and pleading: "Have you seen a little girl? She's my daughter and she's missing." Friends and staff join in the search. Kate stays with the twins, waiting for news.
10.41PM THE police claim they receive a call telling them that a child is missing.
Tässä siis on tämä pääasillinen kertomus.Tämä Oldfield todentotta taitaa olla viimeinen joka näki lapsen tai paremminkin kuunteli,viimeinen joka näki elossa oli siis isä 9:05.O`Brian oli myös liikenteessä samaan aikaan ja palasi pöytää puhtaan paidan kanssa
Myös Tannerkin on poistunut..hmm.Miten se on mahdollista että jo poistunut tässä vaiheessa,kun eihän hänen pitänyt olla saapunutkaan kuin vasta sen jälkeen kun isä keskuteli tämän oliko sen tenniksenpelaajan kanssa..
Tämän kertomuksen mukaan hän on mennyt katsomaan lastaan,vaikka muistan tasantarkkaan ensimmäiset jutut,kun hänen piti tulla muka vasta tässä vaiheessa paikalle kun näki jonkun kantavan lasta...
Aikajanassa on jotain mätää...
Poliisille soitettu vasta 41 minuuttia siitä kun katoaminen havaittiin..olisiko nyt niin,että tosiasiassa he tulivat etsimään paljon myöhemmin kuin on kerrottu,ehkä jopa lähempänä puoli 11.
Tiedättekö tämä tapaus alkaa kuulostaa mielestäni aivan Poirot tarinoilta,vain Poirot on puuttunut paikalta
