Whether or not there was an abduction you have to ask why he did that ? This concerned parent who knew it was an abduction from the get go, or so we’re told, decided to tamper with the shutters he believed had been used by the abductor and by doing so risked contaminating any evidence that had been deposited there. What did he hope to achieve by messing with the shutters ? Did it matter at that point whether they’d been opened from the outside to let someone in or the inside to let someone out ?
I think it did matter because, if they claimed the intruder came in via a window it would not be a good look if the bloody shutter didn't open for him/her to 'escape with MBM.
I am of the opinion there is a very good reason why the room was 'searched' by the Tapas and the shutters/window was tested-Allowing contamination of evidence- IF THERE WAS ANY from a stranger.
Perhaps they all panicked about what would happen to them- leaving their children alone everynight-to wine and dine on this 'family' holiday- jail? loss of jobs? children removed to social care in Portugual..
Claiming abduction from the bed would be a great get -out- of -jail- card-free for them!
It could have worked...until the seen abductor was found not to be an abductor by UK Police, The time line was moved, and the police in Portugual never believed it, and now SY are looking at walked and wandered...
This leaves me with two questions...
