POLICE INTERVIEWED a woman on Monday who lives in the apartment above the one from where Madeleine disappeared at the Ocean Club in Praia da Luz, according to reports in the national press today (Wednesday).
Pamela Fenn, aged 70, allegedly said that she heard Madeleine calling out for her father the night before she disappeared.
She had been interviewed at the start of the investigation and police called her back this week to provide more details about what she heard, including a conversation which she had with Kate
McCann on the night Madeleine disappeared.
Pamela Fenn had offered to call the police when they discovered that Madeleine was missing but Kate told her that the alert had already been raised. An important element being investigated is the time that this conversation took place and the time that the police were informed about the missing child.
Among the aspects of the case being investigated by police, intense focus has been placed on attaining all details about the people that the McCanns were on holiday with, in an effort to ascertain a possible motive.
Gerry McCann told Spanish newspapers that he still believes there is a “reasonable chance” that Madeleine is still alive and they would continue to look for her.
The British media has reported that Portuguese police have advised the McCanns not to leave the country for the time being and there is speculation that a breakthrough in the case could occur soon at the same time that reports surfaced about all judicial police officer’s leave being cancelled until further notice.
Portuguese authorities have still not received DNA test results from the UK. These follow the discovery of specks of blood in the McCann’s holiday apartment.
