Credit for that post.
But would you not say, John, that the fact Amaral proposed it, indicates, in addition to it being bonkers, an abandonment by Amaral of huge swathes of what Amaral lays out in his book?
Very clearly, if Madeleine was cremated in a coffin, she can't, also, have been interred on the beach, disinterred, moved somewhere in a vehicle hired 3 weeks later (etc).
Can she?
I don't buy the cremation story either. If Madeleine was deceased and hidden, nobody in their right mind is going to risk carrying her through the streets to a church before secreting her in a coffin. It's just bonkers imo.
http://miscarriageofjustice.co/index.php?topic=8237.msg409429#msg409429There are just so many conspiracy theories scattered around like confetti emanating from this man that there must surely come a time when people have to step back and take stock of exactly what it is he saying and the lack of foundation there is for saying it.
Tomorrow is another day when the end of the world is forecast heralded by the appearance of a mystical planet in the sky which has apparently been foretold in prophesy.
I've lived through many such apocalyptic prophecies ... as have those who have climbed mountains ready to be picked up by angels ... leaving us lesser mortals to our fate.
When the angels don't come ... and humanity hasn't been wiped out ... they aren't phased. They just tailor an explanation and continue in like vein.
In my opinion Amaral has a history of doing just that ... and he has reinforced most of his prejudices concerning earlier misjudgements in programmes such as O Enigma when in my opinion an awful lot of the enigmas concerning Madeleine's case have their genesis either from his pen or from his mouth.
