Not sure how that works,Suzi Lamplugh was declared dead,where's the evidence of such?

Have the police said she is certainly dead?  The evidence points to the likelihood, but 100% certitude?

 Today Suzy is officially declared dead. Her father signed the legal papers necessary for a presumption of death allowed after a person has been missing for seven years. 'It marks a finality,' he said. 'It releases us. It allows us to think of Suzy as dead. We loved her very much, but we need to rebuild our lives.'

The police report on which the Public Prosecutors based the archiving report found that he was wrong from start to finish.

Yet to be proved wrong,no sign of her since 3/05/2007.

Shouldn't be much longer now.

And I’m 100% certain you write the first stupid and or offensive thought that comes into your head because you are just a troll.

The difference is she was an adult when she disappeared,   so having not got in touch with her family after so long I can understand them believing she is dead.

Is there a family whose missing person was a child when she/he disappeared that has declared their child must be dead?

Usually it's done so the relatives can deal with bank accounts and other matters. That's not really an issue with children; no affairs to clear up.

By your own admission you did not post what I said and what you did post was garbled.  What I was curious about is what Amaral is getting up to these days.
When was the last time a transcript of one of his unlearned ravings from the ubiquitous (at one time) chat show studios was released ... was it

• after his terribly embarrassing 'revelation' about the alleged old lady and the alleged cremation?
• or was it after the revelation of his chum and fellow Madeleine author's depravity courtesy of the Portuguese judicial system became common knowledge?

You may think Amaral was capable of achieving "the best outcome" and "would have got it" but I am afraid it seems to have slipped your mind that the Portuguese authorities didn't share your confidence.
They sacked him.

We will never know what he could have achieved - and for reasons, we don't really know he was moved

Considering he wrote a book on what he believed happened - it may have slipped your mind it's still there.

Being declared dead by a court is not proof of death.
