Could this be yet another example of dissociative amnesia as Detective Paiva did say his informant was in an agitated state?
If Kate had made more than one call to Paiva there would be a record of that whether landline or mobile, so if it was an important issue for the present investigators of SY or the PJ the answer to that may already be known.
I disagree entirely with the concept that Kate had dissociative amnesia. Undoubtedly there is a fair chance she must have been suffering post traumatic stress at the time but she did keep a diary covering the period in question which the PJ of the time made an illegal copy and it is alleged used accordingly.
SnipThe newspaper's full statement read: "Last week we published extracts from Kate McCann's diaries and explained in the article that we were doing so to
'nail the lies' about Kate created by selective leaking from the diaries by Portuguese police."We published the extracts in the belief held in good faith that we had Kate's permission to do so.
"It is now clear that our belief was misplaced, and that in fact Kate neither approved of nor knew that the extracts were to be published. Upon learning of our error we immediately removed the extracts from our website and we today offer Kate our immediate and sincere apologies."
https://www.theguardian.com/uk/2008/sep/22/madeleinemccann.newsoftheworldSo her memory was in my opinion together enough to give the meat and bones to the alleged machinations of the Amaral team working against her ... which included Piava.
Who is to say Paiva is not the one suffering from some type of memory problem in relation to his recall of events?
However it is my firm belief that like all the other forum chit chat the allegation that Kate dreamed a dream as stated by Paiva is in the same league as the rather vapid complaint that the McCanns did no searching for their daughter.
Imagine the plethora of comment if they had gone out physically searching every day with press entourage in tow ... I seem to remember snide comment being made during a Portuguese talk show as a result of Gerry being photographed beside rocks in the sea.
The sceptics have defied logic in my opinion and have adopted a win win mantle for themselves. The McCanns can be damned if they do and they can be damned if they don't.
Kate and Gerry have achieved the impossible in being instrumental in having the official police search for Madeleine resumed and are roundly castigated for that ... while at the same time are excoriated for "not searching".
You really couldn't make it up
