When it came time for the 9:30 p.m. check, Kate says both she and their friend Matt got up to check on the kids. Matt's apartment was next to the McCanns', so Kate says he offered to check on Madeleine and the twins. "He went to check at half [past] nine, came back and said, 'Fine, everything's fine.'" Kate says Matt didn't actually see Madeleine—he only listened for crying.
