Imagining things

It’s a fact that when one lies one does make the effort to keep the lie as close to the truth as possible.

The problem that a liar, any liar has is when for whatever reason, one has to venture into details one doesn’t have the faintest idea what the is truth about them and that’s when the guesswork begins and more often than not the result has little or nothing to do with reality.

When telling a story when one ventures into areas one is not familiar with, one is usually betrayed by the truth in the form of details that are there in fact and should be part of the narrative and aren’t. But in this case the liar can always use the excuse that they were unwittingly left out.

But when the narrative contains details that simply don’t exist then it’s proof that it’s fake, that it’s a total fiction.

In a truthful narrative all details are coherent and cohesive with the reality.

That’s what didn’t happen with Susan Owen, one of the Mark Warner nannies, when she details in her statement what she supposedly had been up to on the evening of the 3rd.

Reading her statement it’s quite clear she wanted to say that evening she went from point A, the apartment where she was staying at in the Nanny building, to point B, the Mirage bar but making sure the authorities understood clearly that she didn’t pass anywhere near where Maddie had disappeared.

This is what Susan Owen, said when describing the above: “the deponent refers that she walked the indicated path, having done it by the beach and later taken the route on the road that ends in the referred bar, thus not having crossed the interior of the mentioned resort nor near Madeleine McCann’s residence”  or in Portuguese so nothing gets lost in translation: “a depoente refere que efectuou o trajecto indicado de forma apeada, tendo-o feito ao longo da praia, tendo posteriormente encetado o caminho pela rua que termina no referido bar, não tendo, portanto, atravessado o interior do empreendimento turístico mencionado nem junto da residência de Madeleine McCann.”

The above contains such an evident falsity that it even forced us to crop a picture we used in our “Praia da Luz” post:

 

It described (yellow dotted line) what would be the natural route to go from the Nanny building apartment (B) – which was in Rua da Escola Primária – to the Mirage bar (M) – which is next to the Millenium passing by Apartment 5A (A). But as she couldn't pass anywhere near that forbidden ground, she obviously had to tell the PJ that she had circumvented it.

We had to crop the rest of Praia da Luz out of that picture because if we didn't we would have to show the following:

And then the reader would notice immediately that in Praia da Luz there is no “road that ends in the referred bar [Mirage]” when one comes up from the beach. This post would be spoiled.

The Google map view shows clearly that in Praia da Luz there is no road that goes directly from the beach to the Mirage bar:

Fact: there is no road that goes directly from the beach to the Mirage bar; tale: there was supposed to be one.

To go from the Nanny building to the beach, the path is clear:

The problem for Susan Owen is that from the beach to the Mirage the route is simply not straightforward.

By saying she went to the beach and from there straight to the Mirage, Susan Owen ventured, literally, in her mind into terrains of Praia da Luz she wasn’t familiar with and which lack of knowledge thereof reveals very clearly that she was just inventing and not describing anything.

Susan Owen certainly thought that the beach connects with first crossing one encounters when coming into Praia da Luz from the East (red circle). Logic would seem to dictate that coming from that direction, if one turned right, one would encounter the Mirage, which one does, and if one turned left one would go straight down to the beach. Only Rua Alfredo Nascimento Batista doesn’t do that.

The street that links the beach to Rua Direita is Rua da Praia (red dotted arrow), the road we suppose Kate McCann is referring to when she says “before heading up the road [to go back to the Mini Club], we stopped at a shop on the corner of Rua da Praia and Avenida dos Pescadores”, as we explained in our post “Is Kate McCann a liar?”

 

Susan Owen makes the same mistake as Gerry McCann when he said “they all left by the main door due to the carriages, went around to the right, down the street of the supermarket and went to the beach along a road directly ahead” when there’s no road directly ahead of Rua Prof Dr Gentil Martins as we showed in our post “Dr Gerry McCann is a liar”.

Gerry McCann thinks that Rua Prof Dr Gentil Martins is aligned with the Rua da Boa Pesca, a cul-de-sac and it isn’t as we showed in our post “Dr Gerry McCann is a liar (update)” and Susan Owen thinks that Rua da Praia is aligned with Rua do Ramalhete, which it isn’t:

To go by Rua Direita towards the Mirage is certainly not going by the beach and this road does not end up at the bar:

Susan Owen is very clear, she says she first goes to the beach and then LATER goes by that road that connects that beach to the Mirage that doesn’t exist.

Susan Owen is not telling the truth. The 2 possible routes that link the beach to the Mirage bar are the following:

Neither fit into the category of a “road that ends in the referred bar”. Susan Owen is just “imagining things” when she says it does.

However, Susan Owen’s “wild imagination” makes us question a lot of things like, for instance, why did she need to avoid the truth as she wouldn't be a witness to anything if she had gone to the bar by a sensible route?

The answer to that question is quite simple and in our opinion it’s because she doesn’t want to compromise herself with any timings that have to do with Maddie.

Susan Owen is out in the streets of Praia da Luz at a very critical time: around 21H30, time up to which she says she was in her apartment and then leaves for the bar.

Leaving her apartment in the sensible direction would mean they (lest we forget she goes from apartment to the bar together with Emma Wilding and Shinead Vine) would cross the critical area at a critical time and most likely become crucial witnesses in the case.

Most of the nannies are minor players. We think that outside Amy Tierney, Jacqueline Williams and Charlotte Pennington all others were told to say they were either in their apartments or at the Mirage, a bar that just happens to be “embedded” in the Ocean Club.

This is what the nannies said they were doing at that time as we noted in our post “Luz’s Secret Service”:

- 3 nannies are on duty at the “Evening crèche service” – Amy Tierney, Jacqueline Williams and Charlotte Pennington.

- 3 nannies are in their residences: Lyndsay Johnson, Catriona Baker and Rhiannon Fretter

- 3 nannies are at the ‘Mirage bar’: Susan Owen, Shinead Vine and Stacey Portz

- 2 nannies having gone out of apartment, we suppose on the way to the ‘Mirage bar’ but only leaving their apartment at 22:30: Kirsty Maryan and Sarah Williamson

- 2 are unclear as to where exactly they were: Leanne Wagstaff and Emma Wilding. Leanne says she’s going to the bar at 22:30 with Kirsty Maryan and Sarah Williamson but at same time Catriona Baker places her inside apartment; and Emma who is placed by Catriona Baker inside the apartment at 22:30 already knowing about the disappearance and by Susan Owen at the ‘Mirage’ bar at 22:45 ignorant of what had happened.

All accounted for, except one, Pauline McCann who only says “in what concerns the disappearance in itself, refers that she was shocked as this was the first time such has ever happened to her.”

But only one, Susan Owens, recognises that she’s out in the streets of Praia da Luz during the critical time of from 21:30 to 22:30. She wiggled herself out from being anywhere near where Maddie disappeared by saying she went around the scene.

But Susan Owen’s statement tells us something else besides telling us that she’s not telling the truth and that is she can’t tell us what she was doing that night.

No one thinks she was in any way related with what happened to Maddie that night so why doesn’t she just tell what was she really doing that night instead of “imagining things”?

We noted in our “Luz’s Secret Service” post that we found it very strange that no Mark Warner nanny had been babysitting that night.

And noted in the same post that trio supposed to be manning the night crèche, Amy Tierney, Jacqueline Williams and Charlotte Pennington, simply abandoned whatever children were supposedly there that night.

Susan Owen could have been be playing marbles, cooking pancakes or knitting a sweater for all we know, so why not just say she was doing just that?

Because whatever she was doing, however innocent an activity in itself it was, and we do think it was something really innocent like babysitting a group of children in an apartment, it couldn’t and can’t be known.

Very simple and very revealing. It can’t be known because whatever that innocent activity was it links up to all other sort of activities in which others were involved and who do not want that to be known and who have had the power which comes from a collective interest, for it not to be known.


POST SCRIPTUM/CORRECTION:

 We need to correct this we said in our current post:

“Susan Owen could have been be playing marbles, cooking pancakes or knitting a sweater for all we know, so why not just say she was doing just that?

Because whatever she was doing, however innocent an activity in itself it was, and we do think it was something really innocent like babysitting a group of children in an apartment, it couldn’t and can’t be known.

Very simple and very revealing. It can’t be known because whatever that innocent activity was it links up to all other sort of activities in which others were involved and who do not want that to be known and who have had the power which comes from a collective interest, for it not to be known.”

All words are true but not for the night of May 3rd. We don’t believe that Susan Owens was doing any babysitting on the night of the 3rd.

We believe that little after Maddie died all things related with the swinging were abruptly halted. We believe that Maddie died early evening and so all swinging activities, in which is included leaving the children with babysitters, was cancelled.

All were focused in making sure things were contained within the T9 and outside any swinging.

We have then to divide in terms of a certain “normalcy” that week, from before the evening of the third and after that.

For example, we have said that we believe the T9 never set foot in Tapas with the exception for the dinner of the 3rd. So, the normalcy that week was for the T9 to have “dinner” somewhere in Praia da Luz, but on the night of the 3rd they sat for dinner in that esplanade. Or at least 7 of them.

“Dinner” in commas as that was their claim, not something we believe. We think that their dinner tale is absolutely false, there was no dinner at a Big Round Table (BRT). They gathered at the Tapas so they could be seen there to validate the Narrative of Negligence, the base stone of the hoax.

Likewise, we believe the normalcy for the babysitters up to the third was to babysit children in various apartments while the children’s parents engaged in adult fun in and around Praia da Luz.

On the 3rd, we are certain there was no babysitting. That night the children stayed under the care of their parents. We think that everyone involved in the swinging, and that includes the babysitters, stayed in their respective apartments waiting for instructions on what to do and then, as required, acting as instructed.

The wording should then have been:

“Susan Owen could have been be playing marbles, cooking pancakes or knitting a sweater for all we know, so why not just say she was doing just that?

Because whatever she had done during the nights before that week, however innocent an activity in itself it was, and we do think it was something really innocent like babysitting a group of children in an apartment, it couldn’t and can’t be known.

Very simple and very revealing. It can’t be known because whatever that innocent activity was it links up to all other sort of activities in which others were involved and who do not want that to be known and who have had the power which comes from a collective interest, for it not to be known.

The same innocent activity we believe she wasn’t doing on the night of the 3rd because someone, with the capability to do so, decided to halt all and thought best to put in place a humongous hoax because. 

That means that what Susan Owen, like so many others, did on the night of the 3rd, although with absolutely NO connection to what caused Maddie to lose her life, was far from being innocent.”
