Maddy waiters: Gerry was 'perfect dad'
Exclusive by Lucy Thornton in Praia Da Luz17/09/2007

Bubbly Madeleine McCann was a "Daddy's Girl", according to waiters who witnessed her last meal just hours before she vanished.

Staff watched as her "devoted" father, Gerry, appeared to be "the perfect dad" as he lifted the youngster on to his shoulders, bouncing her up and down.

She demanded his attention, repeatedly shouting: "Daddy, daddy, daddy."

But just hours later they saw a different side of Gerry McCann - a devastated father, disorientated, isolated and afraid.

One waiter said: "The next time I saw him was about midnight and it couldn't have been more different.

"I went out for a cigarette and I saw a man alone. He was desperate. He was crying and just screaming out her name over and over again. He was completely out of it."

Another waiter confirmed: "It was around midnight and he was on his own and in a terrible state. He was weeping and screaming out for his daughter. It was awful to see. He was a man lost - totally alone."

Gerry, he said, was frantically searching a patch of wasteland by the Praia da Luz beach, screaming hysterically: "Madeleine, Madeleine, Madeleine. Where are you?"
