Goncalo Amaral.

He did use the opportunity he instigated to publish yet another exposé aimed in some measure at the McCanns (going by what people say - I've not read it myself - then I don't think all that many of his target audience have either).

People aren't generally as daft as Amaral and sceptics think they are and my opinion is that the penny has dropped in Portugal.
They didn't make Brueckner an arguido just because the Statute of Limitations was due to kick in.  I reckon there was quite a bit of public shock attendant to the revelations of the German investigation of the type of monsters the inactivity of the Judicial Police had condemned them and their children to sharing their beautiful country with.

There has alway been dissidence in Portugal.  I can remember some of it from a long time ago.

I think it's clear that Operation Grange were investigating only stranger abduction. It has nothing to do with decency to point out that fact. It is a fact too, unlike the oft repeated claim that the PJ only suspected and investigated the parents.

In Your Opinion.

He is too arrogant to admit he is wrong.   I would like him to explain how he can say they ruled CB out when also saying they knocked on his door and he wasn't in.  How did they rule him out?  Amaral didn't even know how CB looked at the time as he stated he had dreadlocks.   If they had interviewed CB they would know he didn't have dreadlocks.  It's all a bit of a mystery.   I think they should question Amaral about what he said,  but I doubt that will happen.

Maybe Amaral will admit he was wrong when Wolters reveals the concrete evidence.

You'll be waiting for a cold day in Hell before that's ever going to happen.

no they suspected and investigated Robert Murat too, for a short while but police leaks made it clear very early on where their true focus of attention lay.

Their attention was drawn to the parents and their friends by the anamolies which emerged in their statements. It wasn't just the PJ who noticed either.

Everyone is an expert these days.  Has anyone found anything yet?

There were anomalies in everyone's statements - Murat's, the Tapas staff, the Creche staff, we all noticed them, yes.  And your point is?

[Rossb]

Thank you.

From reports shown on here, it sounds as though CB has acquired one of the top solicitors.  I wonder who guided him?

I am wondering if it is legal aid or not. Or if he has paid ff. Bcos he did have a different solicitor prior, which apparently he got rid of so am assuming you cant get rid of legal aid solicitor. I reckon someone has funded it.

who else raised concerns about the anomolies.....which may well have been caused due t translation issues...if you say Lee Rainbow....im sure thats a sceptic myth

That is interesting.  I didn't know that Brueckner had changed his Lawyer.  But Fulscher could be doing it Pro Bono for some odd reason.

There were several, all of which you will probably dismiss as myths. According to the saying, however, one is Once Is Chance, Twice is Coincidence, Third Time Is A Pattern. There was a diplomat, a profiler and a PI if I recall correctly.

What has this got to do with anything?  It doesn't make sense.

At this moment in time and on this thread it all makes sense to me if one is attempting deflection from Amaral's suspicious conduct circa 2021 onwards.

Your tunnel vision is hampering you. Amaral and his colleagues were not the only ones who noticed anamolies in the accounts of the McCanns and their group.

you really need to get to grips with the word "anomalies" if you're going to keep on writing about them.
