Very Confidential
1. Facts that preceded the incident
A witness called Margaret Hall who
worked at the OC was located and
tells us that six months before the
incident with Maddie there could
have been an abduction attempt from
the same apartment that was let to
the McCann family. On the 1st
November 2007 she makes a statement
in full honour that refers to the
following:
Margaret Hall was employed by the
Mark Warner resort in P da L for six
months from October 2006 as a baby
sitter for the clients.
She says that in August/September
2006 she was working as a babysitter
in the same apartment that the girl
was abducted from. She confirms that
the events occurred on a Thursday
night. Thursday nights were known as
the "tennis nights" and on that
night the girl's parents were out
playing tennis.
Given that there were problems with
rodents in the apartments she went
out to have a look in the area at
about 00.30. She left by the front
door and in the darkness, by the
movement sensitive lights, she saw
something move and thought its was a
rat. To her surprise, when she
examined it closely, she saw that it
was a brown shoe of a man who was
watching the dark zone outside the
apartments. She shouted and the man
came out of the darkness, the lights
were activated at which point he
came towards her and said "No, no".
She said the man was aged between 25
- 35 years, with a Mediterranean
aspect with tight black curly hair.
She is certain that he had a
Mediterranean accent, surely
Portuguese. From the only two words
he said. He wore light coloured
trousers and a blue checked shirt.
After this she returned to the
apartment in a state of shock, it
was obvious that there was no good
reason for him to be hiding in the
darkness outside the apartment. She
said that the front door was the
main door to enter the apartment,
situated at the back.
When asked if she could make a
sketch of the area she said she
would do so.
The next day she told her superior
about the incident, who in turn
informed the resort manager, J.H.
She said that they appeared to be
more worried about the subject of
the rodents than about the man.
She did not have any contact with
the Portuguese police, neither was
she interviewed by them about this
matter.
She makes her statement under
compromise of honour.
(Note: this is not presented as an
official signed statement)
