Surely the coffin theory is ridiculous when the McCanns had the help of MI5
I'm sure they would have arranged disposal of the body

Nobody (with any sense) takes anything that man says seriously, he's an absolute joke.

The petty burglar theory is an absolute joke.

The petty burglar theory is an absolute joke.

I still use it as a means of waking Madeleine in my theory.  Burglar didn't gain entry but woke Madeleine.

So who are these people who told him that - and where are their witness statements?

In NZ we write messages on bank notes.

Not sure of your point ?  Does the fact that the police are looking somewhere else now for the body erase the fact that at one time they believed Moira's body may have been disposed of in a similar fashion to the one Amaral is suggesting?

And I'm not sure of your point either - did the police in Moira's case actually believe someone had gained access to a church, prized open a coffin lid and stuck her body inside with another corpse?  If so, then I guess they're not the only police with vivid and macabre imaginations.  And, as time has told it was a barking theory anyway!

He was talking about the burglary gone wrong theory wasn't he, about a criminal who acts impulsively, not about a couple who plan to hide their child's body in a coffin days after her death.  I suppose you find the former scenario less credible than the latter... *&*%£

He was talking about a burglary at that time but it is obviously his view in wider terms.

A view which I very much doubt extends to the pre-meditated disposal of a corpse in a coffin by the child's parents.  He was talking specifically about burglars / criminals.
