There seems to have been a lot of activity at 3:00am:
Beth believes Natalee was at the vdS home (this would have been on Tuesday morning when they were at the house)
Father at ATM machine (this would have been on Monday morning)
Rumor-Father at McD's (this would have been on Monday morning)
I think some of you are taking it that Beth sensed or felt that Natalee was inside the house when she and Jug was actually there on Tuesday morning. Maybe Beth meant that had sensed that Natalee "had" been there at one time and before Beth & Jug had arrived to the VDS home.
All the other early morning stuff would have happened on Monday Morning, during the time that Joran was with Natalee.

Something just dawned on me - Daddy cannot remember if he took Joran to school on Monday. Joran's mother said he takes a school bus. Was Joran not on the school bus Monday morning, but somehow got to school on Monday and the cops don't know how? - Remember they are looking for a "change" in daily habits, and it is amazing that Daddy cannot remember if he drove Joran to school that Monday, when Mommy says Joran rides the bus during her interviews with Greta.
IIRC, Beth has stated a couple of times she thought Natalee was in the house early Monday morning, 3:00am.
And, she sensed Natalee's presence when Beth herself visited the home.

Concerning your above post - I wonder what the location of the ATM is??? Could it be that he was seen at the ATM (possibly close to the McD's), and it was mistakening thought he was at McDonald's, but in reality he was at the ATM??
