Ricardo Paiva, "Kate McCann had a dream where she saw Maddie on a hillside"

[amaraltheofficeboy]

Because it was true imo, safest conclusion to make, gerry going off like a rooster on speed only proves they were defensive about something they didnt like, indeed, why couldnt kate speak for herself! She did plenty a time over the three days

yes Gerry was defensive of an incorrect impression stated as some sort of evidence in a court case.

nothing strange about that at all

...defensive about something they didnt like,...

Kate being maligned and traduced on the basis of inconsequential tittle-tattle.

How very dare them ...

thankyou admin for editing the OP to remove the lie.

So paiva traduced her? Oh ok then, he made it all up

[Mrs. B]

Considering the sheer AMOUNT of lies that were, and still is, being spread around about the McCann, who on earth expects them to go out & publicly EXPLAIN & DENY every single piece of rubbish that some people invent in their own little sordid minds? They wouldn't have time to do ANYTHING else 24/7.

This dream interpretation BS, i.e. "Paiva said...."  is just another example of people "inventing" stuff.

he got a wrong impression and drew a wrong conclusion.

[amaraltheofficeboy]

Minor quibble: invented or not, it was irrelevant to the investigation and ought, never, to have surfaced.

[icabodcrane]

It was an important factor in the investigation,

Why is a dream important in any criminal investigation?

Indeed, why would it matter if Kate did dream about Madeleine being murdered?

I mean, I don't have any statistics, but I would be willing to lay a sizeable bet that absolutely anyone in Kate's position might (potentially) have all sorts of weird and (not necessarily very wonderful) dreams of all sorts, none of the slightest relevance to competent investigators of crime.

I don't know  WHY it was important to the investigation,  but it   WAS

I agree with you that a  'dream'  influencing any criminal investigation is quite absurd  ...  but that is what happened in this case apparently

was it important to the investigation or just amarals court case?

it seems important enough for faith to start a thread about it with a misleading OP

[icabodcrane]

was it important to the investigation or just amarals court case?

Paiva said the conversation he had with Kate about her dream lead to the investigation changing direction

I take that to mean, up until that point they had been looking for a  'living'   child, and there was something about the way Kate spoke that lead him to believe Madeleine might, in fact,  be dead

shows what a complete idiot he is then doesn't it.

[Mrs. B]

Amaral's case, the investigation was well & truly shelved by then. Amaral called in his mate Paiva to testify & tell the world that Amaral wasn't the only one who was good at invented stories. Paiva wasn't bad at it either. Wonder if Amaral is going to call him the next time (if there is one)? Or Tavares de Almeida? Now, THAT would be interesting....
