So what do you think of Correia's theory as to the fate of Madeleine ?
He also claims to be a psychic.
Do you believe he is ?
He got involved ion the Cipriano case on the back of this one.
A to B to C.
That's precisely one of the reasons why I don't believe that the McCanns (even via M3) would have done so.
He was convinced that both children had been murdered - when there is no evidence to support that in either case. Perhaps one or both have been, but there is nothing to substantiate it and the McCanns were firmly committed to the hope that Madeleine might still be alive.
As far as I can make out, he seems to have been a loose cannon. M3 did have contact with him, although he may have been the one to initiate contact, and M3 may have contributed to some expenses re the dam when a child's sock and what later turned out to have been the bones of drowned kittens, and to try to interview João Cipriano in prison. That makes sense in case there had been a child trafficking ring and he had knowledge of it.
ETA: Another point is that Amaral was an arguido on 4 May and charged a month or so later concerning alleged beatings that took place years before the McCanns ever went on holiday. Others were also, although I have no confirmed dates concerning the others.
