Madeleine McCann: When The Sniffer Dogs Barked And Casey Anthony
MADDIE WATCH - Anorak’s at-a-glance guide to press coverage of Madeleine McCann, Kate McCann and Gerry McCann
THE SUN (front page): “BARKING – The moment Maddie cops say dog made McCanns ‘suspects’
No, not the tabloid dog pack. There’s a picture of a spaniel crawling on a sofa. To its rear is a man. There is a pair of blue drapes, open.
And another picture of a dog, which may be same dog. The caption:
Howl … pooch alerts handler to ‘evidence’ found in the parents’ rented motor
Pages 4 and 5: “HOUNDING OF THE McCANNS”
THESE were the scenes as two police sniffer dogs investigated the disappearance of little Madeleine McCann — and left her shell-shocked parents wrongly in the frame.
You can never trust a dog, much less a Portuguese dog…
The 2½-hour film, shot on a police camcorder, chronicles the work of two specially-trained British sniffer dogs.
It was the British all along, friendly fire, blue on blue disaster…
It details the moments when the springer spaniels apparently detected:
Barking … the moment Maddie cops say dog made McCanns ’suspects’
The scent of a dead body in the McCanns’ rented Renault Scenic, hired 25 days after Maddie vanished shortly before her fourth birthday in May 2007
An aroma of blood in a bedroom cupboard in the family’s Praia da Luz holiday apartment, and
A smell of death on Kate’s clothes.
Good of the Sun to repeat all the apparent speculation again. And tell us that – hold that apology to the Portuguese, the dog handler was one of them, a Portuguese…
Eddie is first to be taken into the two-bed apartment and spends nearly 30 minutes sniffing around. He barks twice — once in a bedroom and once at a spot behind a sofa underneath a living room window.
Woof! Woof!
Martin says: “As soon as I came in the dog is very excited. From his body language it would appear he has picked up a scent that he recognises. There is enough scent there for him to give me a bark indication.”
Woof!
After Eddie leaves the apartment, Martin takes in Keela. She can be seen freezing — a sign she has found something — underneath the window where Eddie had earlier barked.
And..?
Martin says on camera: “The crime scene dog has given me a positive indication. That indicates to me there is some human blood there. She will detect blood that is very old and find anybody’s blood.”
Not a blood hound – a spaniel…
While Portuguese cops carried out DNA tests on “fluids” found in the flat, it has never been revealed if any blood was found.
And the British at the forensic lab in Birmingham, don’t forget them…
Detectives also asked Martin to use his dogs on the McCanns’ hire car.
Oh, yes, the Renault Scenic…
Eddie is seen barking at the driver’s door before standing still in the boot, then scrabbling in one corner. Martin says: “We had a reaction from the dog. The scent is coming out of the sealed door.”
RINGSIDE REPORT (US): “More Charges For Caylee’s mom”
An online boxing magazine delivers the news with punch. Ding! Ding!
Every time a child disappears, it must be taken seriously. For months, we have been awaiting for good news of British girl Madeleine McCann, the four year old princess who disappeared in Portugal. Now, it turns out, the United States has an even worse case at hand, that of Caylee Anthony, a 3 year old angel who mysteriously disappeared from Florida and whom police investigations point out to be a likely murder victim.
Seconds out!
Number one, if Casey Anthony is involved in her daughter’s disappearance, all she deserves is 12 rounds with Lennox Lewis, after having people completely tie her up to a corner. Number two, we are all praying at RSR so that the first thing the grandmother said becomes a reality, and Caylee is found alive, as well as Madeleine McCann.
Lennox beats up women, Lennox beats up women, la-la-la-la…

Beware!

No they don’t. Give us a kiss.

No you’re alright, some find it an attractive quality
September 5th, 2008 at 11:05 am
I’ll repeat my question: If there had never been a waxen guest in appartment 5A, who did the smell belong to?
September 5th, 2008 at 11:05 am
But BJ, many of the sceptics post on here. They have had all sorts of different theories. In truth, they answer many of my questions.
Think about that!

And Garth has a total sense of humour failure!! Id rather be pissing myself than be a miserable old fart…
September 5th, 2008 at 11:04 am
Hi, jo!
September 5th, 2008 at 11:03 am
Ok, Garth, I understand.
But what’s wrong with expressing scepticism?
September 5th, 2008 at 11:00 am

You’re always pissing yourself. You need to go see a doctor. Would you like me to recommend someone for you?

You don’t know what scepticisms I may or may not have about the McCanns. Because i dont voice them here doesnt mean i haven’t questioned their actions.
September 5th, 2008 at 10:57 am
YESYESYES……
Spammmmmy I love you
I love you 2 Baby Jane
The Clowns unconditional support smells sooooooo bad doesnt it?….and they call it “a balanced view”

I think the death scent was either the dogs getting excited about some other scent, or it was Cadaverine/putricene from human saliva. Why did they only react in the McCann apartment - the dogs were perhaps picking up on subliminal cues from their handler - whom I expect they like to please - that he would relly like them to find something in that apartment.

Who thinks one of the creche workers felt sorry for her and arranged for someone who wanted a child to have her.
If they were caught, they could just say they found her wandering and took her back/ or was going to come and find you when they realised that the mc canns werent there.
Just out of curiousity,?
September 5th, 2008 at 10:54 am
Garth,
but having a balanced view doesn’t mean you say goodbye to your normal amount of natural scepticisms whenever a certain topic is discussed, does it? You are sceptical so often, but never with the McCanns, that’s what I honestly find strange.
September 5th, 2008 at 10:54 am
Hi all
I hope the spammmmmmer likes my new perfume…..?

I’m impartial! Why wouldn’t i be?

Psychologically, there might be several reasons why you defend them. It’s a bit like people already dressing for the aspired next, better jobs when they still are in their old jobs. Maybe you identify with a certain social class you wanna be in?

…..or it could be just that i’ve got a balanced view.
I know it hurts.

Garth, that’s the point, we’re not serving on a jury and may I add, thank God, I would hate that kind of responsibility
ciao and see you all later

Why didnt you say that in the first place. Would have saved all the pointless debate!
see you later.

Garth,
Here’s another question.
If the abductor knew that the doors were locked on previous nights and knew they were open on May 3, how did he know that the McCanns had not changed their habits by e.g employing a listening device or a babysitter?

Just to make it clear -
When people say ‘planned’ I think what most mean is ‘intended’.
You take your chances……….

Garth et. alt., as we’ve learned, nobody ever died in Appartment 5A, so where should the smell have come from in 2007?
September 5th, 2008 at 10:36 am
You can imagine all the antis on here as jury.
The judge asking for their verdict and clueso standing up and saying “Neglect - the bastards - woof woof! ”

Merci Garth - but you know, nobody is absolutely impartial, so it goes without saying that in any debate, we all tend to base our ideas and opinions on liking or not liking someone or something.

“And now here they are!
The most daredevil group of daffy drivers to ever whirl their wheels in the Wacky Races.
Competing for the title of worlds wackiest racer.
The cars are approaching the starting line.
First, is the Turbo Terrific driven by Peter Perfect.
Next is Rufus Ruffcut and Sawtooth in the Buzzwagon.
Maneuvering for position is the Army Surplus Special.
Right behind is the Ant Hill Mob in their Bullet Proof Bomb.
Then there’s ingenious inventor Pat Pending in his Convert-A-Car.
Oh! Here’s the lovely Penelope Pitstop, the glamour gal of the gas pedal.
Next we have the Bouldermobile with the Slag Brothers, Rock & Gravel.
Lurching along is the Creepy Coupe with the Gruesome Twosome,
and right on their tail is the Red Max.
And there’s the Arkansas Chug-A-Bug with Luke & Blubber Bear.
Sneaking along last is that Mean Machine
with those double dealing do-badders Dick Dastardly and his sidekick, Muttley.”
