Joana Cipriano was murdered by her uncle and the alleged attempted abduction of Carolina Santos was a questionable event since it was broad daylight and she never left the street. So in reality there are no confirmed abductions of very young children in this region of Portugal.
Well I, for one do not believe in the validity of the court rulings on Leonor and Joao Cipriano. It is based upon the word and thoughts of two men who are both criminals. both of whom have been proven to be liars and both have made money on th backs of two missing children, by writing books based upon their, imo, crazy thoughts.
Then there is the small thing of having beaten Leonor half to blindness, with horrific bruising all over her face and body ... but according to Amaral, who is a perjurer, the torture was done after Leonor had confessed.
OK so what other reason was there for it?
Just a few of the crazy thoughts, with no proof attached to them by Amaral:
1. Joana came home to find her Mum and Uncle "at it", so she had to be murdered. No proof or pointers even. UNBELIEVABLE !
2. Joanas body was cut up and stuffed in a freezer, which was too small for it
3. The body pieces were then taken to the piggery and fed to the pigs
ALL UNBELIEVABLE
4. The accusation by Amaral that Leonor must have done it because she was wearing
black on a TV show about the case. We were shown photos of her upper body to prove it. Such nonsense.
Further to that when we finally saw the video of the show, she was wearing bright red trousers with the black top. IMO, that is fraudulent at worst and negligent at best ... and such a silly accusation anyway
and on the Madeleine case:
1. Madeleines body was kept in a freezer (Another Freezer ... Gee Whizz!)
2. The parents were swingers as were all the Tapas group .... nothing to indicate it, just a bland rumour, blackening the parents and groups names (to make them more vulnerable? by influencing the publics perception of them?)
There are lots of other things, but soz, i was up too late last night and my mind is still half asleep.
John, The Joana Cipriano case is so weak that it is amazing that it found its way through Court. It should have been thrown out before it even reached The Courts, but perhaps Leonor is safest in Prison. With a brave woman like Leonor (name means lioness?) she might well be finished off if when she finally comes out, IMO, especially if she speaks her mind and reveals things about her treatment and the irregularities of the case and causes a furore.
Life (of the poorer citizens) seems cheap in Portugal.
