Will the appointment of Luis Neves have any impact on the Madeleine McCann case?

[Mr Gray]

detectives are there to find out the truth not baby people and say there there etc 

I think if amaral had got anywhere near the truth we would all be praising him.... But with his body in the coffin idea... Most are laughing  at him... Imo

Was that his idea or did he say it was reported as such?

He had caused her so much pain with his dreadful,IMO, book.and videos and his various public interviews.
He seemed to care little for her feelings
I don't think wishing him to feel some of her pain is unreasonable.

Just like you Kate McCann thought Amaral deserved to be miserable and feel fear. Just like you she objected to him documenting the development of the investigation in his book. Now a man who agreed with him and didn't believe her story is taking over as head of the PJ.

I don't think Gonçalo Amaral has a defined singular theory as to what happened to Madeleine, rather, a number of theories based on facts and situations which were known to him.  I certainly agree that some of his theories are just a tad unlikely but bear in mind that sometimes it is the unlikely ones that end up being right.

I wouldn't agree his theories are based on facts....if they were he would be free to publish his book in the uk

It is a bit of a mystery to me how a man on the periphery of the investigation we are told;  a man who had no locus in the strategic planning of the investigation we are are constantly told;  who indeed it appears was held at arms length by his superiors while they assumed responsibility for every aspect of the case, possibly write an authoritative book on the subject.

Or was his actual job that of 'documenting the development of the investigation'?  From what has been posted here about what he was not responsible for during the investigation ... is that what he actually was responsible for ... the filing system?

I'm just posting on topic. It remains to be seen if he'll take any interest in the case. I wonder who'll take over from do Carmo? Perhaps Neves will decide.

Neves may have agreed with amaral then but I doubt he does now...from his court statement Neves overestimated the ability of the dogs... I think that will have now been clarified

For years Amaral has been blamed for the fact that the McCanns were suspected, investigated and made arguidos. For years I have pointed out that an investigation is a hierarchical team effort and that he wasn't the highest ranking officer.

Now that it's finally sinking in that he wasn't in sole charge he's being accused of being little more than a filing clerk.

Is his position really so hard to grasp? He was part of a team. Above him were the prosecutor, Neves and Encarnacao. Below him were the Portimao PJ odfficers.
