Do you have a cite that Goncalo Amaral decided Madeleine was dead on Day 1?

I have already supplied cites regarding Amaral's mindset with zero evidence to support same, so no, I consider it a fact. Now perhaps people will understand the Met's remit "to investigate the ABDUCTION as if it occurred within the UK" i.e. to deal with it as originally reported until evidence/proof shows otherwise (imo).

Could you explain your first sentence again misty.   I read it as you agree your original post should have had IMO on the end.  As regards the second sentence I agree that that was the remit of the review.

IMO I don't think it needs explaining any further. If John is not happy with how I have interpreted Amaral's own words, both written & spoken. then I'm sure he will delete posts accordingly.

A statement "I consider it a fact" is an opinion not a statement of fact.

I think the best we can hope for is that we have all made progress.

Which was my understanding of misty's post and I replied as such Rob.  Her initial post was somewhat more definitive of course.

I believe she has now accepted though that the initial post was her opinion on what he said rather than factual, so a line can be drawn IMO.
