australian article by Mark Saunokonoko who supports amaral discussion

A view which I very much doubt extends to the pre-meditated disposal of a corpse in a coffin by the child's parents.  He was talking specifically about burglars / criminals.

He was talking about perpetrators in general.

Cite then please.

It is obvious from the statement cited above.

I believe you paraphrased.  Kindly provide the exact quote in context, there's a love.

Did anyone ever say "pre-meditated" in this connexion?

[Robittybob1]

He was talking about the burglary gone wrong theory wasn't he, about a criminal who acts impulsively, not about a couple who plan to hide their child's body in a coffin days after her death.  I suppose you find the former scenario less credible than the latter... *&*%£

It wouldn't be so difficult to understand if they told us which days they were talking about when they use the terms " a couple who plan to hide their child's body in a coffin days after her death". 

When did she die and when did they put her in the coffin?
What days was the coffin in the church?

I would like to know this.

Should be easy enough to pin down.

• there must be records for the reception of a body into the church
• there must be a record of funerals taking place there
• there must be a record of the deceased
• there must be a record of a cremation after a church ceremony in Nossa Senhora

A poster on the forum would be required to furnish a cite in support of such an accusation.  Why is it acceptable that Goncalo Amaral can repeatedly make such unsubstantiated statements with impunity?

So has he totally abandoned the idea of having the cadaver in the boot of the rental car or the disposal of the body in Spain?  It can't be all of the above.

Gerry McCann was sitting elsewhere at the time of the Smith sighting.  Think about it and the point I make will dawn on you.

Or do you think we have a case of bilocation here?

It's all a question of which witness timing to use.

There is no doubt that Gerry McCann was sitting in the tapas restaurant when the Smiths saw their man ... the Policia Judiciaria have said so ... do you presume to know better than them?

It is indeed. Gerry himself claims the alarm was raised around 10.13, around 13 minutes after the Smith sighting.

Did any of Gerry's fellow diners remark upon his prolonged absence of his just prior to the alarm being raised at "10.13"?

Nary a one.  I think Gerry may have been wide of the mark in his timing though :-)  Good to see that Faith has confidence in at least one sentence he may have uttered over the past ten years.
