Re : Re-enactment questions
Dear Stuart,
We have deliberated an awful lot about whether we should participate in the
re-enactment or not. It is not an easy decision as nothing about this case is
straightforward.
We appreciated that Paulo Rebelo attempted to answer many of our concerns
however we are still left feeling very uncertain of the motives in organising a
re-enactment. What information are they hoping to gain and how exactly is it
going to help in moving the investigation on in a positive direction? As you
know, we feel we would be making ourselves and our families extremely
vulnerable by returning to Portugal and would like to be persuaded that doing this
would be wholly beneficial to the investigation....and FINDING MADELEINE. As
yet we remain unconvinced.
We remain open to further discussion regarding this key issue.
Please feel free to call if you would like to discuss this in person.
Many kind regards,
Fiona and David Payne.

Dear Stuart,
Thank you for your e-mail. We did get your message
on my phone also.
Having read the attached letter, there appears to
be a shift in the nature and the tone of the request for the re-enactment from
something informal and friendly to a formal summons. We do not understand the
laws that are being quoted and thus feel it is essential to seek legal advice.
We want to make it absolutely clear that we are
NOT refusing to take part in this re-enactment.
Kind regards
Fiona and David Payne

Dear Stuart,
We have now had time to consider the advice received from our legal team.
Taking into account the advice given along with our many concerns previously
mentioned to you; we feel we are unable to participate in the propoed (sic)
re-enactment in Portugal.
Kind regards
Fiona and David Payne, and Diane Webster
