Remember how a big black limosine was seen and noted cruising around Figuiera? THe car of an Elite?
Remember the little motorcaravan that had been in Figueira for a day or two? Remember how the locals connected the two, especially the motorcaravan with Joanas disappearance?.. cos it vanished at the time she disappeared.
And finally do you remember the little motorcaravan being found abandoned about 7 miles away in PdL?
Now think about it. How many people do you know who would abandon a motorcaravan? No mention anywhere that it had been stolen, or thatit had broken down ... just abandoned.
So what could cause someone to abandon such a desirable thing as a motorcaravan ? ... even if it was old, many peeps would give their eye teeth for such a thing.
See what I am getting at.
The black limousine was most probably owned by the Elite who paid for the abduction. He sussed out who he wanted and the caravan driver did the dirty work.
It is only a theory for Stephen to laugh at, as is his way.
But it is a damned sight more likely than what has been blamed on Leonor and Joao.
Editted to add:
As is so often the case webpages that were there earlier on have been whooshed. After much googling, I found this report by TIMES NEWS ON LINE reporter ALEX WATTS in two different places.

Joana's relatives told Sky News Online the pair are innocent and believe whoever took the girl is also behind Madeleine's disappearance, seven miles away in Praia da Luz. The family, who do not want to be named, said: "This sort of thing doesn't happen in Portugal - child abductions are very rare. Whoever took Joana took Madeleine too, the distance is too small. And the police ignored everything we told them, they just wanted to solve the case quickly. They didn't look at any of the things we told them about." They said the most crucial bit of evidence was a white and brown camper van, parked near Joana's home in the days before she was abducted.
The vehicle, with German number plates, disappeared around the time she vanished. They added: "There was a man living in there, but he hardly left the van. A week later the van was found abandoned in farmland in Praia da Luz. We told the police to investigate it, but they didn't listen to us." She said the man had short, curly brown hair and was about 40 years old. [/color]
