Madeleine McCann

I think the continual reaffirmation on this and all other forums regarding the McCanns actions of leaving their children alone in an unlocked premises, albeit near to where they were wining and dining, and above all, relaxing/chilling out, is to reinforce to society that it is never acceptable to do this, and to get the message across never contemplate doing it. The McCanns have indeed been more than punished for their particular actions, but folk are concerned that anybody would entertain the idea that is is acceptable practice in a world we now know to be inhabited by a considerable number of revolting paedophiles who spend their entire existence seeking out such off-guardedness of otherwise decent parents.

For what it’s worth here’s a recap of an early article here pasted from a red top back in 2007 concerning the movements of the “Tapas Nine”, which makes me more confused than ever:-

“The Tapas Nine: McCann friends whose loyalty comes at a cost

{3} The seven people dining with Gerry and Kate McCann at the Ocean Club tapas bar on the night of May 3 have all steadfastly defended their friends.
But their loyalty has had a cost. According to reports from Portugal, all have come under suspicion and face further police questioning because their accounts allegedly clashed.
The group - most of them doctors and professionals - was made up of: Dr Russell O'Brien, 36.

A consultant in acute medicine at the Royal Devon and Exeter Hospital, he knew Gerry McCann from Leicester. He was on holiday with his partner Jane Tanner and their two young daughters.
At 9.25pm he left the restaurant for around 25 minutes to check on one of the girls, who was ill. He has been subject to a vicious Portuguese press campaign alleging he was absent for over an hour when Madeleine went missing. He has threatened to sue, insisting: "These reports are completely untrue and extremely hurtful." Scroll down for more... {1} {R} Jane Tanner, 37 Dr O'Brien's partner. She arrived late at the tapas bar after treating their sick daughter.

On the way, she passed the McCanns' apartment and saw a man carrying a child. Crucially, her description of the child's clothes matched Madeleine's pink pyjamas.

Dr Matthew Oldfield, 37,

Dr Oldfield, an endocrinologist at Kingston Hospital in South-West London, went to check the McCann children at 9 25pm.

But he did not look inside the flat - simply listened from outside to ensure Madeleine and the twins were not crying. Rachael Oldfield, 36,

Dr Oldfield's wife, a former lawyer who is now a recruitment consultant.

She is one of four witnesses who claim to have seen the first suspect, British expat Robert Murat, near the McCanns' flat.

Last month she angrily dismissed reports that police had intercepted phone calls and emails between the McCanns and their friends which contradicted the group's earlier statements.

Mrs Oldfield accused Portuguese police of "throwing mud when we are not able to defend oursleves" David Payne, 41

Mr Payne is a senior research fellow in cardiovascular sciences at Leicester University

He and his wife and mother-in-law joined the group at 8.55pm. They are believed to have been the only ones using a baby monitor to check on their two children.

Mr Payne has said: "All these smears and rumours are overshadowing the important thing, which is to get Madeleine back." Dr Fiona Payne, 34.

Mr Payne's wife, she is understood to have told police she saw Mr Murat shortly after Madeleine vanished.
Dr Payne and her husband stayed on in the Algarve to support the McCanns”.

Regarding where a body could be disposed, this photo I took In 2013, not far from Praia da Luz, suggests the perfect place and right beside a car park.

Regarding disposal of body I did a direction search on Google Maps and it is a calculated 34 minute drive at normal driving speed from Ocean Club to the south-western sheer cliffs at Cap Sao Vincente, where there is an adjacent car park. A body deposited over these wild cliffs would unlikely to be seen again.
