02-Process Vol II Page 301-302 External Diligence Dolphin restaurant; Mr/s Marais 06/05/2007

Officers: M.J.Ramos and J.Monteiro, Inspectors.

Today, following on work previously performed, we went to the Dolphin restaurant, Rua da Calheta, 14-A, in Praia da Luz, where we contacted one of the owners, A.J.V.Marais, South African, to whom was shown the "e-fit" constructed from information obtained from a witness in this case who recalled seeing someone similar telephoning from the public phone booth in front of the restaurant.

As the residence of the owner was above the restaurant, the "e-fit" was also shown to his wife, L.J.Marais, who immediately said she recognised it as corresponding to an individual she saw 3/4 times telephoning in the booth and once walking in the street near the restaurant.

Asked, she said he was always dressed in white trousers, a little dirty, and a dark winter coat. He was always on foot and alone when she saw him.

Asked further, she said she saw him during the past week, not recalling on which days, but guarantees not having seen him since the date of the events at hand [under investigation].

They were given phone numbers with which to contact this Police force should they see the man again.

The number in the phone booth was 282-789-210.

In the surrounding area, specifically Rua Helena do Nascimento Batista, another booth was located, it having the number 282 789 111.

There being nothing more of interest for the case this work ended.

Processo Vol II pages 448 to 451—Five External diligences carried out on 2007.05.07

Officers: M.Pinho, C,Gomes and J.Carvalho, Inspectors

To confirm or otherwise information given to this Police force regarding the whereabouts of the girl Madeleine Beth McCann or the suspects, the following work was carried out as ordered:

1) Júlio Manuel Madeira Campos de Carvalho
--- In Rua 25 de Abril, ..., Praia da Luz, Mr. J.M.M.C de Carvalho was approached, it having been said that he could have approached the employees of the care centre in the Ocean Club, that that approach could have been done in the street and when he passed them in a white Renault Express.
--- Informally, he explained not recalling having meddled [interfered] with the care workers, but admitted that he could have made "a pass at [chatted up] English girls".
--- On the night of the events he was at home with his brother and nephew. At 22h00, through his girlfriend, he learned of the disappearance of the young girl and joined the general people in the searches.
--- He had nothing else of interest to the investigation.

2) Visibility of 5A
--- Verifying the field of view [line of sight] of the Ocean Club from the Luz Tur building next to the Baptista supermarket, I found the visibility of the girl's apartment to be much reduced [obscured] because of the large and medium-sized palm trees in the resort's swimming pool area.
--- Walking all the building floors I verified that the visibility of the ground-floor is zero [null], by which I came to know who lived on the fifth through the ninth floors [of Luz Tur], information that, informally, I collected through the building assistant [supervisor] Mrs. M.M do N.A.Silva, of 501-X, and, I determined that the apartments and people with clear view were only:
a) Apartment 808-AP, a couple of about 60 years. Irish Republic nationals, who live there. They frequently spend time in Portugal, some time only the lady. The apartment has been occupied for about six weeks by the lady on her own.
b) Apartment 606-AF, Portuguese couple of about 27 years old, both teachers. He teaches at Bispo School and she lectures in the north of the country. They have leved in the building for 4 years.
c) Apartment 504-AR, Portuguese couple with two children; a boy of 3 and a girl of 9 years. The lady, about 35 years old, works as a cleaner at Hotel Bela Vista in Praia da luz. The man has been working in Spain for 2 years and comes home occasionally [once in a while]. They have lived in the building for 9 years.
d) Of the remaining apartments they are not occupied and were not occupied on the night of the events, according to the Luz residents who were stopped [questioned].
--- It is therefore concluded that from that building, if by some chance the movements of the parents and child were observed and noted ["cased"], it was not done from that building.

3) Richard Andrew Gorril
--- A phone message told that in house no. 4 on Rua da Lajes lives an Englishman, with a short beard, 50 or more years old, single and with limited social contact. The person was approached and invited to identify himself. He was identified, through his passport ..., as being R.A.Gorril, born in 1945 in Peterborough, England.
--- He invited us into his home and walked us through it, advancing that in England, in similar cases, the people, voluntarily, placed themselves totally as the disposal of the authorities. He explained that he enjoyed to live alone. He reads, watches television and communicates with friends by mail [e-mail]. He has been at home during recent days except for Saturday, 5 May, when he went to the Lagos market where he bought fish, fruit and vegetables.
--- As for the events he knows nothing of interest to the investigation.

4) Svitlana Babyena
--- Information received told that the lady owner of the cafe "Ala do Castelo" situated next to the Lagos Hospital saw a person, on Saturday morning, 5 May, pulling a young girl who looked like Madeleine Beth McCann.
--- The lady was approached and identified herself as being S.Babayena, a foreign resident since 2006, then, informally, she explained that on the Saturday or Sunday past, at 09h00, next to the "Lago da Igreja" [church square] adjacent to the Lagos Hospital, she saw a man of about 35 years old, about 180cm tall, short blonde hair, thin, who pulled by the hand a young girls who looked like the missing girl. The girl appeared calm and did not seem to be 'contrary' [put out; perturbed]. She does not recall what the child was wearing. She did not see where they went and had never seen [before] those people who seemed to her to have been foreigners.
--- Shown the "e-fits" from the file she stated that the man was very different.

5) Derek Flack shown photos/images
--- The witness Derek F., who had told us he saw a person next to the place of the events - apparently watching, was approached.
--- He was shown the pictures from the file. He identified no-one, lamenting the quality of the images.
--- It is the conviction of the undersigned that the witness craved [had a strong desire] to identify someone in those facial images.

The work done provided no valid result with respect to the whereabouts of the girl.
Regarding possible suspects also none were indicated.

Service Information document dated 11 May 2007 from Inspector Pedro Varanda relating to an informal conversation with Robert Murat

As you will know, Sir, on this day at 11h30, there appeared before the undersigned and (lady) Inspector Patrícia Duarte, a British citizen called Diane Webster, holder of UK passport XXXXXXX, in order to hear her witness statement.

In the course of an informal approach that preceeded that work, it was determined that she was not conversant in Portuguese, written or spoken, and the service of an English-speaking interpreter was therefore called for.

In this function appeared a British citizen, Robert J.Q.E. Murat (duly identified in the files from previous work), official resident of Casa Liliana, Rua Ramalhete, Praia da Luz, Lagos.

The work [the DW interview] being concluded, and during an informal conversation that the undersigned began with that interpreter (as would be characteristic in this type of situation), Robert Murat displayed an unusual curiosity about the investigation that was developing around the disappearance of the minor Madeleine McCann that occurred on 3 May 2007.

As an example, it will be proper to point out that he has insistently and repeatedly questioned me about the identity of possible suspects, about the strategy outlined by the lead coordinator of the investigation and the work that might possibly have been considered for the coming days.

Before [faced with] such an attitude, that was so unusual and absolutely inappropriate that I immediately became highly suspicious, I always countered [ducked the questions], insistently requesting that person to be aware of the contractual duties pertaining to the role which he has assumed in this investigation, pointing out that it was presently the inquiry phase, and, naturally, covered by judicial secrecy.

It behoves me further to state that that suspicion became even more consolidated, following the fact that I became aware that Robert Murat would covertly attempt to catch glimpses of various procedural pieces [items being prepared for the case file] that make up the present inquiry, to the point that I followed my own consultation [hunch], in order to conduct the Diane Webster interview.

Finally, and in the sense of reiterating the suspicious attitude shown by Robert Murat, I venture still to state that, beyond having manifested an enormous knowledge about the dynamics inherent in the functioning of the "Ocean Club Garden" (in which the events under investigation had taken place) and of the routines followed by the McCann family and their companions during their respective stays in in Praia da Luz, he has tried persistently to influence the conduct of the present investigation, suggesting various analyses the agreement with which [i.e. had they agreed to follow those suggested lines of inquiry] could be intended to impute the consummation of the present illegal act [the missing child] to foreign third parties [i.e. to put the blame on, or to attribute the blame to, outside foreigners].

The above being exposed [laid bare] - and without intending to place any competence on the above individual, nor the slightest imputation that that [my suspicions] was what he wanted to be [actually intended to do] - I have to bring the above incidents to your attention, in order for you to determine what may be appropriate.

------ In the main reception (open 24h) of the Ocean Club, the signatory [undersigned] was able to observe a person with long hair, curly, blonde in color, with camouflage shorts and green sweat-shirt, which fit the description of the suspect of the "Rastas", it being that I questioned the receptionist about him, who said that this individual and his wife are guests in the hotel and he has been tireless, since yesterday, in search of the missing girl. Attached are photocopies of their passports as well as the hotel registration form. ----------
