But wasn't his thing little boys?

It was, but it's it's certainly plausible that the like minded members of this repulsive 'club' were known to each other, trading favours and secrets.

"the pickup-style truck that sped past us as we walked back to the apartment from the restaurant that fateful night"
These witnesses JM and family were walking from Dolphin to Estrela da Luz therefore the pickup was probably driving along Rua 25 de Abril or Rua Escola Primeria??? If only we at websleuths knew the road, the direction, the time???

I can't see that from the link provided before, but perhaps this from pressreader can be used instead in case anybody else can't see that too.

From what he says they had just returned to their apartment from The Dolphin when they heard commotion 4 floors below. So sounds like they were walking on the street just before abduction was discovered. They don’t say what street but route from Dolphin to Ocean Club. I found a readable pic Of the article on Twitter but don’t know if I can post that here?

You won’t be able to post it here on the main thread, Maria... But any chance you could send it to me via PM, please?

ETA - Never worry, Mendel’s link should be allowed

Dozens of homes?

The guy was a bum - drifting around living off petty crime and crappy jobs

A bit of truth in both ideas IMO.
I think the itinerant lifestyle, crisscrossing Europe, was more about the freedom to commit crimes as an anonymous actor, before the past/LE caught up with him. Exactly as did RH.

editing to add Mendel has found version and posted it below

Yes the M family saw the pickup truck on way home to their apartment, went to bed, and heard the very early searches, this suggests they walked home to Estrela da Luz a little earlier than the S family did.

Edited by me because i previously stated the wrong time.
The M family were 3 people therefore IMO are probably the no-name party of 3 pax at 19:30. (Same time start as the S family of 9 pax). After meal M family went straight from Dolphin to EdL, but S family went Dolphin to Kelly to EdL.

TY for correcting my mistake Mendel yes I meant 19:30 and have now edited the post to say 19:30.

Yes a headstone of a dog would be silly.
If animals are buried in a shallow grave, the soil can settle around them after a while, thus exposing the animal. Just like when a human is buried, the earth is a large mound to begin with, then settles after a while. Or foxes do have a habit of digging up rotting animals.
Luckily a human is buried deep enough that it doesn't become exposed!
I don't think it was for fun, but it would be interesting to know whose dog it was.

You should read 'The truth of the lie. Book Summary' on line.. During MM investigation, GA gets a call from his wife. Somebody has killed 1 of their pet Schitzu. GA goes home to find the dog deceased from a head injury and so attempted to bury it but the ground was too hard. He was in a rush to get back to work and so as to save his children from seeing the dog in this way, he left for work with the dog. And put his body in the trash.. it was whilst he was doing this that the thought occurred "just how easy it would be to get rid of a body"!! -. This man is beyond dodgy IMO. Even cold hearted people don't do that, so I cannot even fathom how the top man in his field of work can come to the conclusion that this is a fine idea and so it be done! His wife was so worried that she begged him to come off the case with GA telling her this is not rational thinking!! NOT RATIONAL THINKING! coming from him?? The man is not right in the head I'm telling yous! X
