This is what Kate McCann says about that phone call she made to Ricardo Paiva in late July ( whilst Gerry was in Washington ) ;
"That evening I phoned Ricardo Paiva to ask for his help with a couple of letters I needed to have translated. He sounded strange, distant; certainly not his usual self. He mentioned the forthcoming ground search, adding that Encarnacao wanted to talk to us before it began. I distinctly remember him saying, 'Our investigation will be changing direction'. Danie Krugel's report had given them a bit of a jolt, he told me"
It should be noted that when Kate wrote the above, Ricardo Paiva had already told a court that during that phone call from Kate she had told him about her 'bad dream' ... yet she makes no reference to it and offers no denial
This is what Ricardo Paiva said about the call ;
"Kate called me, she was alone as Gerry was away, and she was crying"
I disagree that Paiva and Kate were both talking about the same phone call.
It seems obvious to me that the phone call Kate describes in her book is
not the call she made to Paiva about the dream which it also pretty obvious took place before the one she describes about ringing him for help over letters.
IMO This is borne out by the fact that Paiva said to her .... ''our investigation WILL be changing direction'' ....which proves that the phone call about the dream had already taken place on a previous night and - and having been discussed with the PJ team - was the reason for that 'change in direction he mentions to her. But rather than reveal to Kate that it was her dream which had caused this change in direction - he told her it was related to the Krugel report. IMO
IOW There were two separate phone calls made on different nights. One from a distraught Kate telling him about her dream when she was crying, - and the other when she rang him requesting help with letter translation.
