Various reports were in a number of places before they were wiped. And many on here will have seen them.
The family have every right to report what they saw, and to keep their names out of the papers.
They may not have the same surname as Cipriano or Guereira ( Joanas blood fathers name, IIRC) or Silva .... and prefer not to be associated in the publics eye with the dreadful things, not proven, pumped out about their relatives Leonor and Joao Cipriano.
Being aware of the way that the local PJ operate, they probably would be in fear of the Police knowing that they had released the facts about the van.
How do you think Amaral and Cristovao would have reacted to having their erm..carefully sorted theory undermined ?
Hogwash Sadie. When will you ever accept the reality that the Cipriano duo are guilty by their own free admission? Continually inventing excuses for this miserable pair does your own credibility no favours imo.
The accepted fact that Leonor was beaten around the head with a large cardboard tube or that Joćo Cipriano was roughed up a bit is neither here nor there. It makes no difference to the confessions.
