Witness Statement

Antonio Joaquim da Conceicao

Date: 2007/05/08

Occupation: Gardener

Place of Work: Ocean Club

He is a gardener and has worked for the OC for almost 9 years. As regards his functions he works from 08.00 to 17.00, with an hour for lunch at 13.00. Days off are flexible. He adds that the place of his work is essentially the OC reception area, next to the Mirage restaurant. In other words, quite far from the place the girl disappeared from.

He states that the first time he saw the girl’s parents was from the media on 4th May. It was by this means that he found out. He says that on the day of the events, 3rd May he worked until 17.00. He returned home, accompanied as usual by his son Sergio, who works in the same sector and for the same company.

In the days preceding the disappearance he saw nobody/nothing strange that could be related to the events. He did not see anyone with strange behaviour and he has heard nothing in his social sphere that could be of interest to the case.
