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…

“It is impossible for an abduction to take place under those circumstances. Only as an academical hypothesis”.
This is such an example of outstanding logical reasoning, who could argue with it?
Impossible for an abductor to get Madeline out of the apartment.
Which implies:
Perfectly possible for someone to have removed her body without detection.
That is amazing logic, she can’t be removed from the apartment without someone seeing - while she is alive - but if she was dead, it becomes perfectly possible.

Isn’t it a bit daring and maybe even libellous to implicate that Eddie’s and Keela’s handler was biased?

I’m sure that Pam will be the first to admit that her somewhat sententious observation fulfils all the necessary requirements for pompous waffling, as opposed to rational observation, and that she was in no way suggesting that Eddie and Keela’s handler was biased.

it was a corpse in that apartment and in the French car too; the common multiple minor is MClown couple. How bad luck, indeed! : roll:

Humanity and cadaver dogs both require unbiased handlers and corroborating evidence.

the less I believe in the humanity, more I believe the animals

Garth - Aldeia da Luz? Maybe something lost in translation.
But anyway I was expecting you to come back saying either the dogs had spent the whole time getting it wrong or that evidence had been planted, especially with you being a card-carrying member of the Jane Tanner Fan Club.

Maybe the abductor lost a few peppermints behind the sofa in 5A?
“Oops!”

Have you gone Scarlett faced?

We will never know for sure. But IMO it was very selfish to use another missing childs image without her parents permission to aid publicity for their own fund.
Can you imagine the FURY if someone had done it to them ?
September 5th, 2008 at 3:06 pm
Scarlett
The statement makes complete nonsense to me.
What has Aldeia da luz got to do with the apartment for a start?
September 5th, 2008 at 2:56 pm
Garth you obviously have no regard for Mr Flores:
__________
Excerpt from an interview with Francisco Moita Flores, author, criminologist and former member of the PJ.
Do you maintain your conviction that Madeleine McCann was killed in Aldeia da Luz?
“I do. There are no material conditions to opt for another solution. The mystery lies with one or two of the ten or twelve elements that used to enter that apartment.
I possess little data apart from knowing the location and the positions of each one of the persons that intervened. It is impossible for an abduction to take place under those circumstances. Only as an academical hypothesis”.
___________
This quote has led posters on another forum to debate endlessly as to who the “ten or twelve” could be, IMO missing the main message.

she means the mc canns jumped on the band wagon, made some illegal posters of their daughters image and caused the abductor to panic with tragic results
________
Are you speaking for her to me, BF, or is that your interpretation of what she was saying you are telling me? If so that is pure bull shit, pardon my language but only real way to describe it! That paedo who lived down the street from that sweet child Mari Luz abducted her and according to his version she fell down and died in his house.
Now, I’d like to have Jo tell me if that is what she meant.
September 5th, 2008 at 2:43 pm
Garth.
Put these facts together:
1. Gerry McCann says he did not see Tanner at the time she says she saw him, Wilkins and the abductor.
2. Gerry McCann must have had a good idea in advance that Eddie was going to come to check out the villa, clothes, hire car etc.
3. Gerry McCann must have had some knowledge of forensic matters at the time - he’s medically qualified, had been dealing with Krugel, and probably had read around the subject.
4. Gerry McCann obviously didn’t take any steps to prevent Eddie checking out those things. For example, a guilty person might have burnt the clothes, arranged for something nasty to happen to the car etc, in readiness for Eddie’s visit.
Anything clicking, Garth?

I have a question for you
You are saying Madeleine has died in the hands of a paedo….who?
Once of the only recent child who died in the hands of scuh an arse is MARI LUZ CORTES.
___________
Jo, I have just vague recollections of the talk when Mari Luz Cortes first went missing but am I correct in thinking that at the time there was speculation that maybe gypsies took her (or was that another ongoing case I’m thinking of mentioned on here way back when)?
