I don't know if all of these were directly from the mouth's of the McCanns, or whether it was mis-reporting by the media, but:-

1) We checked on them every half hour.
Later changed to "We checked on them regularly/very regularly/very, very regularly)*

2) We could see the apartment from the tapas bar.
They could see the apartment building, but not their ground floor apartment.

3) The bedroom window shutter had been jemmied open.
The resort manager said that the shutter had not been forced open.

4) The apartment doors were locked.
The apartment doors were left unlocked.

5) Each member of the party took a turn in checking on all the children.
In that case, how did Gerry McCann cross paths with another woman in their party, who was going to check on her children, after he had checked his children at 9:05? (This was the same woman who claimed she had seen a man carrying a child in his arms).

* I have read a couple of different reports about the 9:30 check. One report says that another member of the group checked on the McCann children by simply listening at the door to check they weren't crying. Another report says that he looked in the window (but I thought the shutter was down?) and saw the 2 younger children and some crumpled bedclothes, which he assumed Madeleine was asleep under. Either way, he didn't see Madeleine.
