You are in total denial.
The files Piava ignored were not looked at let alone investigated until the McCann private investigators did so in 2010. They were passed to Scotland Yard as part of their scoping exercise in 2011 and the rest is history.
Of course you do know that ... you just refuse to accept it.
Your ‘knowledge’ is based on reports which were given to the media by Lift, the Portuguese PR firm hired by the parents.
Some of the ‘information’, mainly sightings I believe, found it’s way into the British media. There was no evidence presented that the information within the files hadn’t been followed up....merely that it had found to be ‘of no relevance to the investigation’. The fact that the files were still available to the parents and hadn’t simply been shredded speaks to their handling.
Of course this event has to be looked at in context. Several weeks before Pavia had told the court in Lisbon that Kate had called him with details of a dream. Gerry denied this had happened and so the discrediting of Pavia began, which included not only the file accusation but also a rather bizarre sting carried out by a supporter of the parents.
So believe what you will Brietta.....but don’t blame those of us who are less gullible for being that way.
