There is a coterie who apparently live and breath "doing the Drs McCann down", I'm sure you will agree. Apparently they are mainly British based and they may be part of an international conspiracy which by no stretch of the imagination could ever be described as "vast".
Mr Amaral made an excellent and lucrative media career which has apparently convinced Portugal that Madeleine is dead and the Drs McCann complicit.
He may have left people scratching their heads somewhat with ... perhaps his Ace?? ... the coffin invasion of the old lady who was later cremated.
Who in Portugal is going to give a second thought to suspicions about a friend a neighbour or a relation ... when the culpability of those who 'dunnit' has been so well promoted and known for over eight years.
In red font cite please. Evidence!
You give too much credit to Amaral. Many tens of thousands of people believed Maddie to be dead. Long before Amaral mentioned it. I know I was watching a lot of bloggs and reports and the responses. There were of course many different reasons given for believing this including: the parents being involved.
As for Amaral's lucrative media career, Bit of hypocrisy going on here. McCanns have made and spent millions on the back of their vile behaviour towards their children. They became marketing ploys!
1. the fund being set up- using cute Maddie pics to gain sympathy- and deflect any blame on them as parents.
2. trying to claim money from Amaral for their distraught children even the one who is missing!
3. Used royalty, pope, media stars,high up political figures to push their agenda... media savvy they were from day one!
They travelled the world, to tell their story.... Yawn.
