The trip was delayed by just one day or was it more? So they now dispose of a body during that delayed trip. That is a remarkable story for it must have meant that the body had been transferred to another vehicle without the PJ knowing. When did they transfer it? Was it that morning? Amazing this is getting exciting!
Be careful where you are going on this, Robbity. The McCanns had other people in their car on that trip so body disposal comes under the heading of scurrilous rumour and libel.
The fact is many scurrilous rumours circulated at the time.
IMO, the Huelva entry in Kate's book looks and smells like PR, which, unfortunately I have seen and smelled far too often in my career.
I was simply trying to clarify if Kate's book was the first time this tale had been told. Clearly it wasn't. Anyone with a brain and access to the PJ Files would have been able to match up the intended date of the trip to Huelva and the search of the villa.
The one and only issue I can see is why they chose to manage the villa search in the manner they did. This thread has covered a number of options as to why they picked the approach that was used. Since I have no evidence to offer on this, I can only offer my opinion, and IMO the approach selected was a poor choice.
Do not stretch what may or may not have been a poor decision into a scurrilous rumour such as body disposal.
