Amaral's exact theory (which I think is wrong) has discovery in the last check about 10.00pm at location = sofa lounge. Then at 10.05pm he has location = Rua 25 Abril.
His theory provides no time and no reason to unnecessary sandwich another location = cupboard other bedroom in between. And what would be the point of that?
Because he found the fact that a bag was in the cupboard in one police photo and not in the photos taken later. In some interview or other he insinuated that the bag was could have been used to get rid of certain items of interest. In the Cipriano case, the prosecution's case was that after killing her, they wrapped her bloody body in a duvet and shoved her body in another room while they decided what to do with it (before the chopping up and freezer-stuffing session that no one saw). The following evening, Leonor was seen standing with a plastic shopping bag in the company of João and that must have contained the saw and knife.
So, we have another case with a scenario of a non-missing blanket, a freezer, death involving a wall, a hiding place while the next steps are thought out, a possibly non-missing bag with incriminating evidence, frantic wall-washing that no one noticed, no signficant forensic evidence, a body that may have been dumped in the garden for the night, then picked up and moved, then disposed of by vehicle at some later point, hints of scandalous sexual behaviour / or of a mother blowing a fuse (sedation was a gentler version in the latter case), two mothers who apparently didn't show enough emotion in public...
And Eddie barked by the living-room wall, the parents' bedroom and the garden. It might all be coincidence, of course.
