�?He does not remember having seen Madeleine “face to face�? and knows her from the photograph circulating at the time of her disappearance;
�?It was normal for the men of the dining group, to get up and leave the restaurant and return minutes later. The witness is not aware of where the men were going to but that they would be gone for about 15 minutes;
�?The witness can speak clearly to these events because many times he had to bring back the entre/dinner plate of said client(s), until they returned to the table;
�?Remembers that on the night of Thursday, the 03rd of May, 2007, Madeleine’s parents dined at the Tapas restaurant, together with the normal group of people. He believes that they arrived between the hours of 20H00 and 21H00;
�?He remembers that it was around nine people and remembers having taken the orders of the group;
�?Later, between 22H00 and 22H30, he was in the kitchen, and was alerted, by a colleague, to the fact that a guest entered the restaurant screaming, and at this point, the entire group left in a panic;
�?His colleague proceeded to tell him that the (screaming) individual indicated that a child had gone missing;
�?A few minutes later, the witness noticed that there was a lot of agitation, with many people looking for the child;
�?The information that followed was that the missing child, a girl, was the daughter of one of the British couples, referred to above;
�?At this point, the witness states that there was no suspicious activity, that he was aware of, around the Ocean Club immediate areas;
�?No one asked the witness about the habits of the group or about other groups in particular, or the children of said groups;
�?Also states that on Thursday, the day Madeleine disappeared, as he arrived at work, he did not notice the presence of anyone who looked strange/out of place or of a suspicious nature;
�?Witness states that towards the end of the day, the immediate restaurant area, is a quiet area with nor many people about;
�?The witness notes that with regards the disappearance of Madeleine, there is nothing else he can add or comment on that would clarify the motive of the disappearance.

Portuguese
�?Hours of work 09H00 to 17H00;
�?His place of work is most frequented by tourists from Ireland, England, and Scotland;
�?Thursday past, after completing his shift, around 17H30, he went home where he had dinner with his family;
�?Around 22H15, together with two cousins (P*** (23) and J*** (17) , both resident in Lagos, they went to the Ocean Club as Joao had not seen the “Tapas�?restaurant and was curious;
�?They arrived there around 22H30 to much commotion; many of whom were Warner staff;
�?Nuno questioned his co-worker Jeronimo (known as Joe) who worked in the restaurant who told him that a British child had disappeared;
�?“Markwarner�?staff were involved in the searches of the club and adjoining areas;
�?He only saw Madeleine’s parents in the news the next day and did not remember them in the restaurant nor serving them. He explained that not having noticed them is normal as he see many people come and go from the establishment;
�?He does remember however, that on almost all nights, nine people reserved a table in the restaurant for dinner. The table in question is located at the front of the bar, in the direction of a view toward the apartments but plastic venetian blinds in the restaurant do not allow for easy visual access through the window to the apartments;

RICARDO ALEXANDRE DA LUZ OLIVEIRA
Date/Time: 2007/01/30 21H00
Waiter
Portuguese

�?Works in the “TAPAS�?restaurant serving/waiting tables since April
�?Hours of work are from 16H00 to 24H00, every day with the exception of Fridays and Saturdays, which are his days off;
�?He serves the tables of said restaurant and from 16H00 to 18H00 snacks are served with dinner from 19H00 to 22H00;
�?It is not usual to have people who are not guests of the resort, but this sometimes does happen;
�?During his hours of work he does not recall having seen anyone who was not a guest of the resort taking refreshments in the Tapas bar;
�?In order to enter the restaurant it is necessary to present a guest card in the restaurant reception. It is only this year that the restaurant has been open to the outside public—and he does not remember anyone from the outside having been served;
�?Madeleine’s parents would dine every day in the restaurant—a group of nine people;
�?He never noticed the children accompanying the adults during dinner;
�?The members of the group would usually eat around 20H00 to 21H00 and only when all of them arrived would they begin to eat;
�?It was usual, during these dinners, for one or two persons to get up and leave for around 15 minutes and on various occasions he saw a walkie talkie (likely the Payne baby monitor) on the table. He assumed that they would leave to go check on the children in their respective rooms;
�?On the 3rd May, the witness arrived at work his normal time at 16H00 and for the first time saw Madeleine’s parents at dinner time which was around 20H45;
�?He does not remember if the McCanns arrived together and whether they were the first ones to arrive at the table;
�?It was one of his colleagues that served the table; he does not remember if it he served Madeleine’s parents at all;
�?He remembers that on the 3rd of May one of the guests who was at the table left for ten minutes, as he was about to serve their starter, and was told to hold it for a few minutes—but it was 15 minutes before this guest returned, around 21H45;
�?He does not remember having seen Madeleine’s parents leave the table but it is possible that someone may have left and the witness did not see them;
�?Dinner finished at around 21H45 and some minutes passed where the witness looked towards the table but saw no one—his colleague told him that all the guests of that table left rapidly and abruptly. He remembers having heard shouts in the direction of the McCann apartment;
�?He did not notice anything out of the ordinary in the restaurant or any strange behaviour of guests;
�?When he heard the shouts coming from the direction of the McCann apartment was when he realized that Madeleine had gone missing;
�?The table where Madeleine’s parents sat did not have a clear view of the apartment but only to the patio door and the time in which this was happening there is no light in that location, made worse by the fact that around the restaurant there is an opaque plastic covering;
�?He was not aware of suspicious people around.

Barman
Portuguese

�?Works in the Ocean Club since the 26th of April of the current year. He already worked at the same club four or five years ago;
�?The witness is an osteopath, exercising this profession outside his work;
�?He returned to Portugal in November of 2006, from the U.S. where he served for around four months in acupressure, one of the areas of osteopathy;
�?Works between 16H00 to 24H00 and was on holidays from 02/05 and 03/05;
�?Also did not work on 01/05 due to illness;
�?After speaking with his colleagues, he learnt that Madeleine was related to a group of people who would dine in the restaurant in which he works—Tapas—at a big table;
�?Does not know if this group took refreshments ate lunch in the restaurant. He does not remember the children having been at the restaurant with the children;
�?The only person he actually remembers is that of an adult male, tall, with his bangs combed back;
�?He cannot say with absolute certainty but believes that on this group’s table was a monitor normally used for listening to children;
�?As already stated, he returned to work on Friday, 04/05, at 16H00, and noticed the confusion in the search for Madeleine and the desperation of the family;
�?States that the locale in which the group sat, it is difficult to see the apartment from where Madeleine disappeared;
�?In reality, there are physical obstacles like a plastic transparent panel which works as a blind; walls and vegetation;
�?From that vantage point, it may be possible to see a light on in the (McCann) apartment but little more than that;
�?Is aware of some break-ins that have occurred in the complex, as has occurred in other clubs, principally in the lower-level apartments;
�?Is not aware of any important fact which could help locate the child;

Barman
Time/Date: 16H15 2007/05/06
Son of Portuguese Expats
�?Is the son of Portuguese émigrés in England now for 15 years where they live in Swindon, near Bristiol;
�?He began work at the club on April 2nd;
�?For about three or four weeks has been working the night shift from 16H00 to 24H00;
�?Although he has seen many pictures of Madeleine, he cannot say for sure if he saw her or her siblings in person;
�?Remembers that the group travelling with Madeleine’s parents totaled nine adults;
�?His recollection is that the group arrived on the 28th of April (Saturday), the same day in which the “Tapas�?restaurant does not serve dinner and closes at 19H00;
�?He believes that the group first ate at the Tapas restaurant on Sunday (29/04/2007) and cannot remember if they had lunch or drinks;
�?Of the entire group, Madeleine’s father emerged as the greatest talker, sympathetic;
�?They would arrive for dinner at 20H30 or 21H00 since these were only the reserved hours one could make at the reception;
�?When questioned, he noted that it was normal for diners to stay in the restaurant until approximately 23H30/24H00;
�?The group showed themselves happy with the food;
�?He also noticed that some members of the group would leave at certain times and later noted that it was to check-on the children although he believed that this checking was in a proper Luz Ocean Club facility (such as the crèche).
�?He was at work the night Madeleine went missing;
�?At roughly 22H20/22H30 he verified that only one person remained of the group--the older one—joking with her that “they had left her alone�? The woman in question told him that all had gone to the apartment to look for a missing child. Minutes later. Looking very troubled, was Gerry, looking for his daughter everywhere, and focusing on the immediate poolside areas. Shortly after, many people were looking for Madeleine;
�?The witness said that Madeleine’s mother screamed desperately for her daughter;
�?The chef from the Millenium restaurant was called to help in the search and together with other Warner staff, the searched until 05H00. He remembers that around 50 or 60 people helped in the searches looking everywhere in the club, around the area, in the proper Luz village, the beach area, among others;
