Goncalo Amaral.

the vert fact that you know....means you certainly dont

Well get back to me when, won't you.

Amaral claims that the Policia Judiciaria actually knew about a paedophile who to all intents and purposes was on the run from 2007.

They kept all knowledge of his existence very close to their chest.  Are you disputing - Amaral's word - on this?

Who were they supposed to have told?

[Eleanor]

I think Amaral's working on an insanity plea because any time he opens he just drops himself further in it!

He has made it his mission without let up over the years to destroy the McCanns.

Now at the 11th hour, he freely admits to the knowledge of a paedophile who was neither traced at the time or looked for.

He knew that and admitted to the knowledge but continued to slur the McCanns at the same time with the most heinous crime.

What kind of person is this?

One of low intelligence, I would say.  But then none of the lower echelons of The PJ were ever very bright and so many of them have criminal convictions as well.

Yes, those of a much higher intelligence believe Kate's curtains unquestionably.

Remember when you heard Wolters say he had concrete evidence & believed him?

Just got to get the Hazel Behan case out of the way, isn't it.

I'll be looking pretty foolish after that won't I , but not right now though, that's your territory for the foreseeable future.

Amaral was pretty high ranking and I tended to think he couldn't be as stupid as his actions and pronouncements made him out to be and if not a genius made up for his deficiencies by utilising native cunning.

I've revised that.  Although at the moment I can't decide if it is stupidity which has been motivating him recently or sheer blind panic.  But whatever, I think we have witnesses a meltdown of sorts.

Wasn't Sofia upset because he got past over for advancement?  It seems he had gone as far as he was going.  And definitely not in the same league as Rebelo.

He's quiet now though, Amaral, doesn't have much to say at the moment.
Mind you, neither does Wolters either. He's probably drowning so much in abduction evidence that it's rendered him silent.
Yes, that's probably it.

Let's put it this way.  Amaral had NO evidence against the McCanns whatsoever.  What passed for evidence as far as Amaral was concerned just wasn't.  Pathetic!

How's the evidence against the abductor going, you know, seeing as though Amaral was wrong & there definitely was one?

The three police forces having much luck with that line of investigation are they?

Methinks that SY are steadily progressing and they are looking for a MISSING Madeleine + global traffickers IMO

Sadie, Sadie... give me your answer do,
I'm half crazy all for those files of blue.

We are told there is strong evidence of Madeleine's death.  We haven't seen it yet and until we know what it is and accept it I think we are entitled to hope for the best that Madeleine survived.  In their last official statement that's what her parents hope for too.   

Amaral fed negativity into every aspect of Madeleine's case with his insistence on 'the smell of death' behind the couch - on a shelf in a cupboard - outside the patio doors - in the garden - on a cuddly toy (eventually) - on items scattered willy nilly on the floor of a public gymnasium - on a key fob and in the boot of a car.  Not to mention his allusion to in transit body fluids sloshing over the front left wheel of the same vehicle.

I think that is probably worthy of ridicule were it just not so tragically wrong, giving whoever caused it over fifteen years to cover any tracks which were probably never to be found in 5A in the first instance.
