Pamela Isobel Fenn

Mrs. Pamela Fenn was the owner of the apartment above Apartment 5A where the McCann family was staying. She heard a child cry in the apartment below on 1st May 2007 from about 22.30 to 23.45. The child shouted 'Daddy, Daddy'. The crying stopped when the patio doors opened.

It is thought that Kate refers to Mrs. Fenn when she writes the following in her book 'Madeleine':

“Page 75: [Mrs Fenn] Then a lady appeared on a balcony – I’m fairly certain this was about 11pm, before the police arrived – and, in a plummy voice, inquired, ‘Can someone tell me what all the noise is about?’ I explained as clearly as I was able, given the state I was in, that my little girl had been stolen from her bed, to which she casually responded, ‘Oh, I see,’ almost as if she’d just been told that a can of beans had fallen off a kitchen shelf. I remember feeling both shocked and angry at this woefully inadequate and apparently unconcerned reaction. I recollect that in our outrage, Fiona and I shouted back something rather short and to the point.

Pamela's niece Carole Tranmer and her husband came to visit her on 28th April and 3rd May 2007.
