Amaral suggested Maddie died in
the apartment - most likely near
the sofa and maybe as the result
of a tragic accident. |
|
The cop claimed that Kate and
Gerry McCann staged a "fake
abduction," concocted a story
with the Tapas Seven and were
involved in concealing the body.
|
|
Amaral accused the McCanns of
negligence over their children.
|
|
He
inferred a fund to finance a
search for Maddie was a cynical
plot to get rich |
|
In
his book, just days after the
Portuguese cops declared the
McCanns were not suspects,
Amaral said there were no signs
of a break-in at the flat. |
|
He
suggested Jane Tanner, who
described seeing an abductor
carrying a small child, colluded
with the McCanns to describe
what Maddie was wearing. |
|
Kate and Gerry were adamant the
kidnapper did not go into the
apartment from the back entrance
because they could see it from
their table at the tapas bar -
but Amaral says this was a lie. |
|
The book says there were
contradictions among the McCanns
and the Tapas Seven over whether
the apartment window was open. |
|
Amaral said the McCanns were
preoccupied with dealing with
the press rather than police. |
|
He
claimed the McCann children were
given drugs to help them sleep -
which might explain why the
twins did not wake and how
Maddie accidentally died. |
