You are absolutely wrong. Wolters has said the evidence they have although not showing her death is such that death is realistically the only possible outcome. So they assume she is dead but do not have proof. It seems exactly the same as Rui Pedro . I m going by what Wolters has said... Not by what it has, been reported in the papers.
It seems you and faith just haven't kept up with all the information
After he was abducted, Rui Pedro Teixteira Mendonca was photographed on a ride at Paris disney. The couple sitting in the seats in front of him came from Portugal. He was also photographed almost hanging from a rope by the hands. his feet were on the ground, but he was looking haunted and desperate; It was awful. His mother, (Philomena?) identified him on the pictues, poor woman. It absolutely broke her up. There were said to be other distressing photos.
At Disney, Paris the couple sitting in front of Rui and whoever Rui was sitting by, came from either The Algarve or The Porto area according to my memory. I have never heard of the couple in front being interrogated and I can't understand * why * if that is the case
Since then a guy named Alfonso Dias was tried and found guilty, He was jailed. At the time I studied the case avidly and came to the conclusion that he might have been involved in a lesser way, but that some Mr Big was pulling the strings. There were a number of oddities about the case. I wondered was he ...
i) Paid off handsomely to take the blame?
ii) Been blackmailed into taking the blame?
iii) Been threatened with physical damage ? Toes cut off etc.?
I wonder if Alfonso is out of jail now and how finan ially well off he is?
BTW, Rui Pedro was a strikingly beautiful boy with huge eyes. I could well believe that some wretched pa-d- took a fancy to him. So sad. I wonder if he is still alive.
Assuming that I am right,, with Alfonso taking the rap and Rui being officially dead (although no evidence that I am aware of), no one will be looking for Rui Pedro any more and Mr Big and Co. are off the hook, able to carry on with their sordid cruel trade.
This not only about Pa-d- clients paying, but also about extortion of mega bucks via blackmail etc.
I must stress that I have no proof of this but it ties in, imo
