The death thesis is the most likely one to explain Madeleine McCann’s disappearance - Magalhães e Menezes
This is the official who signed off the 'final report', the one the McCann-believers always like to quote as they attempt to 'bury' the earlier, devastating report of Tavares de Almeida [10 September 2007].
Here he is, on oath in a Lisbon court, saying what he really really thinks, instead of having to cover up what he really thinks in the ton of waffle in which he enveloped his final report!
I confess I'd not come across that before, and it's very striking:
"The death thesis is the most likely one to explain Madeleine McCann’s disappearance".
Where has this been reported previously?

"The death thesis is the most likely one to explain Madeleine McCann’s disappearance".
Yes it is most probably true, what many of us suspect, Madeleine could actually be deceased, but it does not state she is definitely dead and it does not state by whose hand. It just states that it is most likely out of all the theories, but factually it can not rule out other theories.
And that was their problem, they had no body to prove death and they did not have conclusive evidence pointing to the parents. For all any of us know Madeleine could have died in that apartment by the hands of another.

Jill, that's exactly my point!
Was this hugely important statement of the man who signed off the final PJ report in July 2007 ever reported in...

Sorry, but no way could they look like that if Madeleine had been killed by someone else or even abducted by a paedophile.
There was plenty of photo's like this on the 'net where they were smiling and blooming which suggests to me that they concealed her body and believed they were getting away with it.
Which they have for the past 3 years with a little help from their friends. And favours called in, of course.

Firstly they would need to ascertain they were unharmed ... and then they would want to make some gentle inquiries.....
this could have changed the entire outcome if Maddie was abducted..... but they knew she wasn't .... of that I have not a doubt in my mind!

Throw in Gerrys f*** off I'm not here to enjoy myself and it opens a totally different can of worms and perhaps explains the sky news involvement when most of us would be still running around PDL screaming and banging on doors.The ensuing drama over the next 48 hours was well oiled and regimented, they were totally focused and plans were put in place very quickly, including registering her name and the eye defect logo.

How many people go on holiday for a week and wash the curtains?

Amy Tierney

They say they didn't come from the reception and something about the paper/ink/printer used not being used in Portugal, so this leads to why did they go on holiday with these leaflets...
This is a very important subject, but I think you have got it wrong in suggesting that the McCanns actually went out with those leaflets...that would bring us back to a premeditated plan to kill Madeleine and I have never gone down that particular avenue.
I am assuming you are referring to the 6" x 4" [15cm x 10cm if you do metric] photos of Madeleine which were conveniently available for the police on the night Madeleine was reported missing. I think they were converted into a sort of leaflet.
Crucial here is the statement of Amy Tierney, by the way thank you to mccannfiles where I located it and to Pamalam and her colleagues for the translation:
Witness Statement
Date : 2008 ' 04 '17
Time. 10.00
Place: Praia da Luz
Name: Amy Tierney
Has made previous statements in May last year.
Given that she does not speak Portuguese, Silvia Batista acted as interpreter.
When questioned and shown the photographs referred to in the previous statements, depicting the English girl, on 'Kodak Xtra Life ' paper, 10 x 15, she said they were printed on her printer, also of Kodak brand.
When on the night of 3rd May, at about 24.00, she was at her desk at the Tapas bar, inside the resort, when at a certain time, one of the friends of the McCann couple, Russell, asked for a USB memory stick reader, in order to print photographs of Madeleine. Immediately the deponent replied that she did not have an USB reader, but that she had a printer with this hardware, which could read from memory sticks.
She went to her room and returned to the Tapas with the printer where she printed out 20 to 30 photographs of the girl, using her own paper, in 10x15 format mentioned previously. The memory stick containing the photos belonged to the McCann couple, and came from their camera.
She thinks that all of this took place at about 24.00 on 3rd May 2007. She presumes that she handed all of the photos to Russell, who distributed some to those present, the rest would be for the police authorities.
As regards her printer, she says that it is no longer in her possession as it is now with her boyfriend in France, she says, after consultation, and in accordance with her previous statements, that is was a 'Kodak', model Easy Share G60, of thermal ink transfer, with continuous tonality.
In annex, is documentation about the printer, describing its technical characteristics, which she recognises as being identical to her printer.
No more is said. She signs the statement together with the interpreter.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Now, this printer was never located. If memory serves, it was with her boyfriend in the middle of France and of course, with Portuguese Police resources stretched to the limit as they were by Madeleine's disappearance and its aftermath, it was never checked.
This ties in, as you suggest, 'soulthief', with the convoluted and evasive statements made by I think Dr Russell O'Brien about downloading images on to a computer.
In the 'Good Old Days' of 3As at its peak, there was an intensive discussion about the provenance of these photos/leaflets, as I recall 'Tripz'm whoever he was, was a leading contributor.
Now, in our '60 Reasons' book, we published this as 'Reason 27':
27. Having a ready supply of pre-printed photographs of Madeleine ready for the police as soon as they arrived on the night of 3rd May
Within just two hours of Madeleine’s ‘disappearance’, if not even earlier, the McCanns had a ready supply of posters featuring Madeleine’s face. The McCanns claimed that they had produced them on the spot, using their digital camera, and by getting access to a printing machine at the Ocean Club. But police enquiries at the club did not find any printer that could have produced those particular types of photo posters. This led to the Portuguese police to strongly suspect that they had been pre-prepared earlier in the day, somewhere away from the premises.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
That was also published on our website when it went live on 20 October 2008. It led to a hysterical, incandescent reaction from a 3As poster called 'nicked', who eventually revealed herslef, more than once, to be a true McCann-believer who accepted every word of the McCanns and the 'Tapas 9' as gospel.
She was outraged that I did not take the statement of Amy Tierney at face value.
I once wrote a detailed piece on Amy Tierney's statements, saying why they could not be trusted.
But it's lost now.
[Unless anyone still has the 3As database].
P.S. Hat-tip to 'Bren', 'beowulf' and all the admin and Mods at 3As who enabled these fascinating research threads to flourish
