__The statements of dependent and independent witnesses differ at crucial points.__

**The last independent Sighting of Maddie:**

Maddie stayed until 17:30 in the Kids Mini Club. This is testified by a signed list and the [[oc_child_care|Nannies]] of the [[oc_child_care|creche]].

**The last dependent Sighting of Maddie:**

This depends on the partly contradicting statements of [[gerry_mccann|Gerry McCann]] and [[david_payne|David Payne]]. If statements are correct, then it was David Payne who was the last, apart the McCann's, who saw Maddie in the time between 18:30 and 19:00.

**The Alarm:**

The most crucial point is the question at what time exactly the Alarm was raised by Kate McCann?

  *  There are **eight** __ [[alarm-witnesses|independent Witnesses]]__ who state that this happened somewhere before 22:00,  __average: **21:37**__.

  *  The__ [[tapas_7|Tapas 7]] and the [[gerry_mccann|McCann]]'s__ but agreed by [[timelist-tapas-9|a finalized list (3-May-2007, list given to the PJ)]] __on exactly **22:00**__ for the Alarm. 

  * One week later (10-May-2007, in his second interview)__ [[gerry_mccann|Gerry McCann]]__ corrected and alleged even more now the Alarm happened __about **22:13**__.

----

**The disturbing fact is:** The [[smiths_sighting|Sighting of the Smith Family]] of the main [[suspects|suspect]] occured __around **22:00**__ in the vicinity of [[apartement_5a|Apartment 5A]].   
This but became known to PJ first on 26-May-2007. By what reason where the [[tapas_9|Tapas 9]] eager to shift timeline by about half an hour into the future on May 3rd?

Between the average time from independent witnesses to the Tapas 9 written timeline there is a gap of 23 minutes. In his second interview on 10th May Gerry McCann even altered his time up to around 22:13 for the alarm (signed by the large X in graphics), which enlarges the gap to minimum 36 minutes.
