The following quotes are Professor Barclay speaking of the various points the team he worked with touched on regarding the Madeleine case - from the shutters, the finger prints, the type of person who may abduct a child of Madeleines age, how the patio door could not be seen from tapas bar/restaurant. He is puzzled that any intruder would choose to try and break in through the shuttered window when, if he had been watching the apartment, he would know the patio door was unlocked. The expert point out that the shuttered window side of the apartment is well lit and overlooked by other apartments, and that it is very dark on the patio side, an open patio door and an alleyway there also to make escape. He quite clearly thinks the shutter window tale by Kate McCann is a load of nonsense! He speaks of the two ends of the spectrum being vanishingly small. One end, being that Madeleine wandered off, the other being that an organised gang of paedophiles abducted the child. Discounting each of these, left the team with two areas to ponder from the 4 scenarios they had set out - *someone local, more an opportunist having abducted her, someone who had noted how the McCann kids were neglected, left alone at night OR *that Madeleine came to harm whilst alone in Apartment 5A of the Ocean Club, Praia da Luz, Portugal **Professor Barclay as we can see, based on his expert knowledge - believes and leans towards Madeleine having come to harm in Apartment 5A** David Barclay: If anyone can get in there through the sliding windows, why bother to go through the shutters in the first place? That little gate, which doesnt seem to have any lock on it, goes straight onto the road. Theres lots of light round that side (shutter side) and, erm, if you look in there (patio side) theres shadows all the way up and its easy to sneak out of this gate as well. Yes. Once you are in here, or youve jumped over that wall, I dont think anyone would see you. They certainly couldnt see you from the Tapas Bar.
