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

[amaraltheofficeboy]

a lot of people thought they were so important to the case didn't they?

[DCI]

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

Yes, I see thats been ammended, by admin 

[icabodcrane]

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

Well we weren't privvy to the conversation about the dream,  so we don't know

All we know is that Kate has never spoken about it since

[ferryman]

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

It wouldn't have been important to competent investigators.

[amaraltheofficeboy]

Imagine the morning Police briefing.

Right I had a phone call from Kate last night - she had a dream that didn't mention death but from now on we are not looking for a living child but a dead child - call for the dogs.

Sounds pretty accurate doesn't it.

You'll get no argument from me on that point

not necessarily misleading as the news article now amended into the op is not the same as other articles, where it is reported Kate did imply or actually say a body was lying on a hill in her dream, the op was started IMO to ask why there was such a discrepancy with gerry having to publically deny kate had such a dream, THAT was the much ado about nothing

“She said she had dreamt that Madeleine was on a hill and that we should search for her there.

 “She gave the impression that she thought she was dead – it was a turning point for us.”

how long do you want to go round in circles for - the idiot drew an impression in the second sentence from something that is not in the first sentence.

you carry on red - to me it is quite understandable why Gerry would be so annoyed at the lie.

Ah, where is the lie though? Dont worry, not bothered  sooner I put Gerrys aggressive outbursts and struts out of my mind quicker it is for me to feel better

[DCI]

Yes, how dare Gerry be angry after hearing in court that the PJ decided the McCanns were guilty based on Kate's dream FGS.

I bet the judge, found it hard to keep a straight face, when that came up

yes I think after 14 pages if you don't know it would be best for you to put it out of your mind

Gerry didn't express anger at the fact that Kate's dream had influenced the investigation though ...  he expressed anger that her dream has been misinterpreted 

Thinking about it though, maybe he was angry because he found out for the first time that while he was in Washington  Katemade a  late evening call to Paiva   (  she didn't put the twins to bed until 9.15pm  that  night )  and she says herself in the book that it was in the 'evening'   that she rang Paiva   (  to talk about some letters she wanted to translate )

Maybe it was the late evening  'oh Ricardo, I had a bad dream'  aspect of it that made Gerry a bit cross

Just another angle  to consider

A very good angle

Gerrys a control freak, anything he didnt know about wouldmake him act out like that IMO

he has taken control of things from the off and meddling in things he had no right to, imo he jeopardised the investigation from tampering with the crime scene, ans thats BEFORE he went out searching, ie muddling with the shutters and letting others do the same, as well as letting loads of people into the crime scene, and all before police were called or got there,  to unleashing a media scrum,to ignoring the pjs  advice, and throughout treating the authorities like idiots, ebile paying lip service,aided and abetted by the british authorities and the verminous british press and his pathetic advisers all around
