I've not listened to them so who am I to judge ... but I see the latest??? makes reference to Amaral's anonymous 'witness' of whom he introduced one or two into the equation ...
Snip
In episode nine of Maddie, Mr Amaral detailed how a woman had approached Portuguese police to tell them how she had observed the boot being left open for a period of days.
"Nobody denied that the car boot had been always open, they said it was because of the smell of garbage," Mr Amaral said.
"They said it was domestic garbage that was transported in the car boot."

Riveting ? ... not
Of any benefit to the present police investigations into Madeleine's case ... I think not
A cash cow for Saunokonoko and channel9 ?? ... I would certainly think so
Rua das Flores is a cul-de-sac. You can get out of the end on foot, not by car, but essentially that leads nowhere of relevance.
The nearest rubbish bins are at the entrance/exit of the estate. They are perhaps 600 or more meters from the villa. I know perfectly just how much rubbish a family of 2 adults and 2 infants plus guests produces.
The smart way to dispose of their rubbish would have been to stuck it in their boot, and to drop it off at the estate exit whenever they went out by car e.g. for shopping.
When we first heaved up around here, that is what my beloved did. And the car boot stank as a result. Since then, I have walked our rubbish to the nearest bin on a frequent basis, which has solved the problem.
Not that it is relevant, but I have included Rua das Flores and the local bins on more than one Luz Tour, to demonstrate to guests that a 'smelly boot' is perfectly innocuous.
