I don't think they changed their statements....I think there were errors in the statements due to the translators. the statements the Mccanns signed were in Portuguese..they don't know what they signed but as they weren't arguidos and extremely stressed they weren't unduly worried. The statements should have been audiotaped
Isn't it a bit strange that Gerry later admitted referring to the wrong door then? Not the translators fault...they knew very well what they were signing. Next you will be saying he couldn't tell his front from his back.
The answer to the opening post is a resounding
YES ...but the evidence is a resounding
NO. There was no evidence of anyone entering the bedroom via the bedroom window. No prints or marks of any sort unaccounted for on the window, the shutter or the sill...no disturbed bedding, no furniture pushed over.
The only fingerprints on the window were those of Mrs McCann, and as Mr Amaral puts it, indicating that she opened the window. In the furore that followed she probably forgot she had done so, the rest as they say is history...just like the whooshing curtains which never whooshed for anyone else.
