Amaral's Hypothesis - credible or not?

[Eleanor]

Irrelevant. Distraction and diversion from what was being discussed.

What was and is being discussed is the fact that Amaral failed to do any boring old police work that might have pointed him in the direction of this window before he wrote his Thesis.

[Eleanor]

We can always wait and see if anyone gets arrested, and then charged.  But it still wouldn't be a good idea to jump to conclusions.

This is the thing.  You won't catch me assuming that someone is guilty when I don't have access to evidence.

No problem with that, if the evidence supports that status.

That's good to know.  You will of course be among the first to apologise to the McCanns for your long campaign against them if and when it is established they were not responsible for hiding their child's body and staging an abduction...?

Seriously ? Didn't you just accuse Amaral of having a hand in Madeleine's disappearance a few pages back ?

Absolutely.

Perhaps you could reinforce the concept of providing links to credible sources?

I think that should be credible, NAMED sources.

Wrong context, and you know it.  I suggested he might have found the window for abduction if he had done some boring old police work.  He obviously didn't.

Really ? And I quote :

"The McCanns are not responsible for whatever might have happened to Madeleine.  But Amaral could well be.  But there is still no evidence that Madeleine is dead."

If Amaral had done his job properly from the beginning Madeleine could have been found yonks ago.  Or are you telling me he didn't know about the paedophile and the burglars?

But we have absolutely no evidence that paedophiles or burglars are involved...........unless you're assuming their guilt without evidence.

We have absolutely no evidence that The McCanns were involved, unless you are assuming their guilt without evidence.

As far as I am aware, no person of interest Scotland Yard wants to interview has been named.

Is that right?

Prompted by the new GNR dog thread to do a little reading regarding the searches which took place in Praia Da Luz in the aftermath of Madeleine’s disappearance, my belief that Dr Amaral’s theory was wrong has been totally reinforced. 

If the reports in the files detailing the searches which took place are accurate, there is absolutely no way that Madeleine’s body could have been temporarily concealed for removal at a later date. 

The detail contained in this part of the files rules the parents out and indeed would rule out that a child's body was concealed anywhere near the holiday apartment at that time.
