How would it be possible to reconstruct "Maddie's fateful night"?
What exactly would Goncalo Amaral expect to gain from such an attempt at such a remove, except a further headline for himself in the tabloids?
We know for example that Mr and Mrs Moyes were out walking in the area at a very relevant time indeed.
Yet they
were not questioned at the time ~ let alone asked to participate in a reconstruction.

We walked back about nine o’clock, round past, erm, the church, round past the supermarket, back to the apartment. Went out on the balcony about quarter past nine. Everywhere was peaceful, everywhere was lovely. Susan Moyes https://madeleinemccannthetruth.wordpress.com/2011/10/24/radio-stoke-speak-to-susan-moyes/Mr and Mrs Moyes were not just casual passers by who might have been difficult to trace ... they were in the exact place at what might have been a relevant time; they were resident in the same building from which Madeleine disappeared; they took part in the search for her.
Yet no-one in authority took the time or the trouble to knock on their door ... just as no-one in authority bothered to speak to Mrs Fenn.
How many other potential witnesses were not interviewed when three in the same building from which Madeleine had disappeared were not.
The time to have a reconstruction was at the time when many people not directly involved in the case were still available and whose memory of events might have been jogged.
It would have been just another night for the Moyes blending into others if someone hadn't banged on their door looking for a little girl.
Perhaps someone out with the immediate search area who had also been out and about might have recalled something at the time if a sympathetic reconstruction had been effected.
I wonder how much Mr Amaral's decision not to have a reconstruction at the time might have been influenced more by the request for a priest and his own burgeoning master plan ... than interfering with flights in and out of the airport?
