HC: Some of the key points mentioned in the TV program broadcast by SIC a few days ago were precisely the beach and this ravine, and also a golf course and all that makes sense with a thesis emerged in May 2007, that said that the little girl could have been carried inside a sports bag or in a golf bag, brought trough the golf course to this ravine and then thrown here. Moita Flores said, in that show, that in doubt he would also come back here. Gonçalo Amaral, what did the police do here in Praia da Luz?
GA: In the first night, searches were made using sniffer dogs, with the help of the public, and all of this area was searched, here…
HC: But also the rocks down here?
GA: Yes, in the rocks down here, at the base of this ravine, probe rods were used to search in the sand and in the soil in the ravine’s base, in order to release eventual odours of cadaver, and nothing was detected. Aerial searches were conducted in the first days as well as at the planning, the planning was preceded by an assessment, let us call it, an overview of the entire area by a helicopter that was ceded by the civil protection of Faro, and nothing was detected. As to that hypothesis, of throwing a body - and I recall that the little girl’s weight would be about 30 kilos – from here to the sea, I would say that is impossible. Notice that the sea is not immediately beneath here, the ravine does not have a vertical steep, there is a vertical grade and the sea is still far away. A great strength or almost a gigantic person would be needed for the body to fall in the sea, and in the deep sea. There are photos, taken in the rocks down bellow in the water, were we can see searching, certainly he was not searching for his live daughter…
HC: Are you referring to Maddie’s father?
GA: To Gerald McCann. Maddie’s father.
HC: He was walking around here, in the rocks bellow?
GA: Yes, there are pictures of that.
HC: But in that case, he would have to have the firm belief that the girl was dead.
GA: I do not believe that he was looking for crabs nor searching for a live daughter.

A THESIS WITHOUT EVIDENCE IS MEANINGLESS AND THAT IS WHAT WE ARE CHALLENGING. THERE IS NO EVIDENCE OF AN ABDUCTION . NONE
