Gerry was only one to actually see Madeline between them leaving the apartment and Kate discovering she was gone.

So they were dining happily with their friends, with no indication that anything was wrong until 10 pm. I read that they raised the alarm with the resort and asked for the police to be called at 10:10 pm. So that is only 10 minutes in between?

There's a lot of rebuttals on that site involving the seven friends which shows the conspiracy theories must only hold up if the friends were covering things up? Which I said was highly unlikely.

Kate discovered her missing at 10pm (according to both timelines written by the Tapas 9). A search was started, the police werent called until nearer 11pm than 10 (think it was about 10.40 ish)

Mind I understand not calling the police immediately. She could have been hiding or something, they had to be certain she was gone.

I find that really odd. Why not call the police straight away?

But thats not true. If you read the statements of the friends.

That site does a terrible job of rebutting anything. Their main sources are news stories and McCann interviews (which the story changes in very often too)

They say a lot of the 'conspiracies' are misleading, yet their rebuttals are just as misleading.
