"Who had the motive for Maddie's disappearance."
Now you come to mention it ~
When looking for a motive the first question which springs to mind is "Cui Bono?" Which could well be translated as who stood to make the most money from this?
The example of money being made by detectives in Portugal from books on missing children is a given. Joana being a prime example. Therefore considering money as a motive must be a consideration.
And who made more money from Madeleine than Amaral?
Not really as at the beginning who would have thought this was going to turn out as it did.
I don't think for one minute the book would have taken off [as a best seller] if it wasn't for the mccs suing GA.
I would say most then bought the book in support of GA, I did it myself although it was in Portuguese.
IMO the reason for him writing the book was in a way to be a voice for Maddie.
He truly believes the abduction was faked....and the mccs had a motive to do that.
Answer to your other post,...
I truly believe in my heart that the mccs are involved in Maddie's disappearance....otherwise there is no way ever I would still be on here.
As for the slur, I don't believe their story...I have no sympathy at all.
There is nothing wrong with following your principles...or beliefs if you truly believe them to be right.
