Witness Statement
Date : 2008-04-17
Time. 10.00
Place: Praia da Luz
Name: Amy Tierney
Has made previous statements in May
last year.
Given that she does not speak
Portuguese, Silvia Batista acted as
interpreter.
When questioned and shown the
photographs referred to in the
previous statements, depicting the
English girl, on 'Kodak Xtra Life '
paper, 10 x 15, she said they were
printed on her printer, also of
Kodak brand.
When on the night of 3rd May, at
about 24.00, she was at her desk at
the Tapas bar, inside the resort,
when at a certain time, one of the
friends of the McCann couple,
Russell, asked for a USB memory
stick reader, in order to print
photographs of Madeleine.
Immediately the deponent replied
that she did not have an USB reader,
but that she had a printer with this
hardware, which could read from
memory sticks.
She went to her room and returned to
the Tapas with the printer where
she printed out 20 to 30
photographs of the girl, using
her own paper, in
10x15 format mentioned
previously. The memory stick
containing the photos belonged to
the McCann couple, and came from
their camera.
She thinks that all of this took
place at about 24.00 on 3rd May
2007. She presumes that she handed
all of the photos to Russell, who
distributed some to those present,
the rest would be for the police
authorities.
As regards her printer, she says
that it is no longer in her
possession as it is now with her
boyfriend in France, she says, after
consultation, and in accordance with
her previous statements, that is
was a 'Kodak', model Easy Share G60,
of thermal ink transfer, with
continuous tonality.
In annex, is documentation about the
printer, describing its technical
characteristics, which she
recognises as being identical to her
printer.
No more is said. She signs the
statement together with the
interpreter.

Information
With the aim of providing a technical
clarification of the photographs referred to in
the statement
by Amy Tierney, Maria de Fatima Barbosa, Head of
Area of the Scientific Police
Laboratory
(LPC) was contacted.
When asked about the possibility of carrying out
a comparative examination of the photographs,
with regard to their printing, using
the printer
described (in the
statement
),
she judged that it would not be possible to
determine whether the photographs had been
printed on that machine.
From the technical
point of view
she says that they are domestic use printers,
and that this model has already been referred to
in a report compiled by the LPC, as being of
possible use, they work using colour tapes (fitas)
and in this way it wiould not be viable to
compare
the printing
pigment of the photograph with
the printer
referred to (Kodak G600 Printer Dock). But she
stated that this printing method, referred to as
sublimation, makes comparative tests impossible,
at least in as far as known technical tests are
concerned.
