saphire,
cat has never said she left the toy on a high shelf, there was no shelf so it woudl be an easily torn apart lie. The press claimed she had said this. Not one direct quote attributes this claim to kate herself. It has been talked about on the forum as an example of the bad press reporting.
Rashamon.
Can you just say where you got that translation, because that is nto what I have seen in the original portuguese ones, or the translations. And jeremey wilkins stated he saw gerry come from the path that led from the patio doors. But again it doe snot really matter what door he entered by, Jeremey saw him come from the path there so he had to have left by the patio door, and the patio doors could not be unlocked from the outside, and matt Oldfield said he used the patio doors as did kate.
The McCanns themselves stated that they had left the patio door unlocked.Has it ever been determined whether the patio door was left unlocked or not or is this too still being debated?
Trying to discredit Amaral does not alter the fact that crucial info is availabe to the public in the police files, where one can read the different versions of events the McCanns have offered to LE, like for example Gerry's first version being that he entered the apartment through the front door.
Madeleine's favourite 'Cuddle Cat' toy was 'placed out of her reach'
Last updated at 15:54pm on 12th August 2007
Madeleine's favourite toy, her pink 'Cuddle Cat, was taken from her arms and placed beyond her reach by her kidnapper, according to new reports.
This important evidence could point to the fact that Madeleine was actually taken alive.
According to a report in the Sunday Mirror, Kate McCann knew instantly that Madeleine had been abducted when she saw that the toy had been moved from her sleeping daughter's arms and placed on a ledge way beyond the four-year-old's reach.
The paper quotes a police source as saying: "When Kate tucked Madeleine up in bed earlier in the evening she had the toy tightly in her arms as she did every night.
"So Kate was terrified when she spotted it had been left in a place too high for her to reach.

By the way the correct spelling of my name is Sapphire not Saphire.
Ok, I get it. If anything that the McCanns or the police sources, as in this case, are quoted as saying is confusing or weird it's a media mistake.
But keep in mind that the police files also mention the key used to open the locked door:There was a lot of confusion about the back and the front of the appartment in the beginning because of the two aspects.
Since the McCanns never disputed that the back (patio) door had been left unlocked by them, this leaves the front door as the only possible entrance point which Gerry could have meant.[FONT=Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif]Witness statement of Gerald Patrick McCann, on the 4th of May 2007, at 11.15 a.m.[/FONT]

going back to the confusion in the media.
here are two reports concerning the death of Tia sharp in the UK that have been printed today. One report states that the post mortem was halted at the weekend and we be resumed this week. Another report states that the cause of death was smothering. So which is it, has the OM be finished and the cause of death confirmed as smothering, or is has the PM not been completed and the cause of death not yet confirmed.
