Gonçalo Amaral in El Mundo: Gerry McCann hid Madeleine corpse in the Beach
SnipQ – It was said that Kate was very cold. But I've seen her cry.
A - So did I. She is not cold. There was a moment, in a meeting with them, when we set out the sofa theory. Kate puts her head down, looking distant, and, after a few seconds, she looked up again as if nothing had happened. She looked like she was escaping from the role that she was interpreting.
Q - When you raised the hypothesis that the girl might have died after falling off the sofa, did Kate McCann answer?
A - She did not answer, she just dropped her head for a moment, as if she was about to faint. She had an emotional collapse that lasted just a moment.
Q - And Gerry McCann?
A – He is a very strong person, dominant. He's a surgeon, a man capable of making decisions very quickly. That was good for him to be able to decide over Madeleine. If you have to hide the body, you must decide quickly. And it could only be hidden on the beach, and you have to take her on foot. This is where the statements from the Irish witness is important, the one that no one has taken into account.
Q - What is your opinion?
A - To me, Gerry hid Madeleine's body on the beach. And after a few days he moved her with his car. We work following this lead. Trying to find out the date of the switch, some details, but we were on the way. The Irish was about to arrive in Portugal, but everything was delayed too much, he even received external pressures. In the end, he didn't testify for the Police.

I think it is important to measure the quality and the failure of Amaral's theories. Not only did they shape the conduct of the Amarel led investigation into Kate and Gerry McCann when the Policia Judiciaria wrote Madeleine off as dead, Amaral's theories although largely based on false premises are still believed by a few.
Amaral really is a bare faced and consummate liar and this El Mundo interview is peppered with them.
He
never met Kate McCann.
Gerry McCann didn't have a car at the time Amaral suggests and even if he had ... how did he manage under the glare of publicity to go to the beach ... dig up a body ... transfer it to the car boot Keela inspected ... and into oblivion.
All under the watchful eye of the Judicial police ???
The Irish witness did testify for the police in May 2007 ... the problem Amaral has there is that the police totally ignored his testimony for months until Kate and Gerry were arguidos when he changed it.
All in all this theory did not stand up to proper scrutiny so was a pretty rubbish one built on lies.
