Madeleine McCann. A Searchers view June 11th - 14th 2007.

I went to Praia da Luz with Kay Locke who's husband was an engineer at Flybe in Southampton and stayed over the night before travelling by train from Windermere station to Oxenholme, then on to Manchester. We shared costs, she was a singer, I was a hotelier and hotel Inspector also on my Open University Masters in medicine. I had been in the paper as Martin Grime was sent by the late Chief Constable Mike Todd, RIP, to use cadaver dogs . Westmoreland Gazette, 'Moors murder victim may finally found'. Martin was sent here too.

Why did we go? The answer is for decades I had followed psychics who said Keith Bennett was at a certain place on the Moors to press with Winnie. So I joined them and shared petrol and accommodation costs with my knowledge of searching as RAF. I bought Sean Booth of Wigan the website, www.psychicsuk.com as he had taken me to the Moors by car and shown me where he thought Keith was before the bend near the farm across from Boggart. The end of May a forum discussed the missing four year old as days prior she had disappeared. Two posters mentioned 'down a slope in a concrete room with a window. One said Toulouse, the other Sagres.? I posted 'which one as I am flying out'? The next post was 'if I went I would be shot'. Police in the resort and locally were informed by the Sean and myself of screenshot message. We flew a week later as I need support after a train accident 2002.

Arriving in Faro we got a taxi to Praia da Luz to arrive early morning. We stayed at the Belavista Hotel. We went as tourists as the owner was from Buckinghamshire as a family concern. This is where police chief Dr Amaral interviewed through the night at reception we observed and were told. I took gifts for Roco's orphanage as goodwill. We went into the pool there and blended in as a children were all around oblivious to event below us down the hill. Children played safely in vast numbers of the ex-pat business owners.

We walked down to see Oceanus building compound opposite the school and playground by the zebra crossing and sign. The 1 million pound reward poster was set here with sign 200 yards to Warner reception by Block 4 rented flats and block 5 intake for cars in view. It was vastly busy with a bus stop just here on the left and we spoke to a group of Preston families who told us of their relatives there who owned the hairdressers we used later. However, my gaze was to a gap in the fence at the playground with a red rocking horse in view. Huge bushes of red flowers hid the fence. We notified Portimao Police as we did our second intake access by the later Smith sighting behind us as Oceanus Irish compound to the right. I continue with the places we visited in the next article as 2. This is with Clive Driscoll as narrated and audible witness statement episodes Operation Grange asked for 5 months ago. I assert the experience was of a safe resort more so than Blackpool where a 14 year old was murdered on November 3rd, 2003 called Charlene Downes.
