Amaral's Hypothesis - credible or not?

[VIXTE]

Weren't the mccanns given the key to the church ?

And they therefore had the access to a dead body which was left in the middle of the church in a coffin?

Read what I said again.

I did not say anything else.

You did.

Actually it was Mr Amaral who said that 
I wonder what his next brilliant idea would be

Why are you laughing about someone's death ?

Is this the mindset of the ardent mccanns supporter ?

Sympathy only for the mccanns, and nobody else ?

Is anyone actually supporting Amaral's latest barking theory?  I would have thought that this would tell everyone anything they need to know about this man.

Or did The McCanns rush to this hidden freezer that no one has ever seen or found, grab Madeleine's body, and stuff it in a handy coffin that just happened to turn up at the church?  All under the gaze of The PJ and the world's Media.

Don't forget driving around with it in the boot at some point as well.

And suspicious enough for a neighbour to report the always open boot.

That began at absolute earliest July 1/2, probably later, so the church June 2/3 idea doesn't fit with it, surprised Mr Amaral did not see this.

Moved a month later was said by a few people in this case if you pay attention. 2 JUNE is the perfect opportunity (ping discrepancies reinforce that view) before the European tour and in the first week they got the hire car. Why did they need the car that week? They were away for most of it? Visiting Pope etc.

The body was in the church overnight why wouldnt it be?

My MIL when she sadly died was kept over night in the church so people could pay their last respects to her as she was the first one in the morning for full service.

So its quite normal for this to happen. A lot of older churches are quite cool and it was early in the season. So the fact a dead body was laying in state in a coffin over night is nothing unusual.

In June?  It's pretty hot on The Algarve in June.  Not that I mind.  But putting a defrosting body in the coffin doesn't sound like a very good idea.  There might have been a puddle on the floor.  Then what?  OMG.

You might consider paying attention to this simple hypothetical test question for armchair detectives:
Joe Bloggs is seen by a neighbour leaving the back door of his van open for several nights running starting on date Z. During the preceding five weeks the back door of the van had not been left open because certainly someone would have noticed if it had. Without needing to know the reason why it was open, the question is simply, on what date did that reason occur?

This is a story line from film noir. Modern policing would include CCTV, phone and interned data and similar.

They didn't move there until 2 july - the reason why it was left open. the neighbour saw that boot open every time she turned the car around so she reported it as being suspicious.

Even if the body is in the church, it surely woudn't be left unattended and in the middle of the church hall so anyone can temper with it?
