====== The 3rd May 2007 ======

{{ :apartement-mccann.jpg?nolink&400|}}
The main event in question happened between approximatly 17:30 and 22:30 on 3rd May 2007. __**Just five hours in May**__ which still have to be investigated and explained in full. At the time there exist but only two opposed versions ([[accidential_killing_of_maddie|vers. 1]] and [[abduction_of_maddie_theory|vers.2]]) of the event.

In the heart of the case is the [[Timeline|Timeline]] of this day. 
The statements of [[timelist-tapas-9|dependent]] and [[alarm-witnesses|independent]] witnesses differ in a crucial way.

A summary can be found on -> [[https://www.gerrymccannsblogs.co.uk/Nigel/id28.htm|McCannFiles]]:

//"It should be remembered that we know very little, as fact, about what happened 
throughout the day and evening of 3rd May. The inconsistencies in the statements made 
by the McCanns, the [[tapas_7|tapas group]] and eye [[witnesses|witnesses]] has led the [[policia_judiciaria_pj|Policia Judiciaria]] 
to believe that resolving this confusion is at the 'heart of the case'."//
