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…

I am good aint I?….and was seriously told off,YES
At the very first begining yes there had been a suspicion the gypsies took her ,a feud or the other…this was very quickly given up.Gypsies do NOT fool around with children.And the Cortes know this…
At the beginning EVEN the Cortes & Family were under suspicion which is normal…..as you saw the suspicions cleared up very quickly because they were NOT involved by any means in any way….what are you after
__________-
Just to point out, Jo, that when that sweet little girl went missing there was suspicion about gypsies - in other words, people are quick to judge and jump to conclusions!
Truthfully, Jo, you aren’t that good, to be honest with you. You’ve shot from the hip quite often in your predictions over the past months and proven wrong. You are still hinting that you have a source and we’ve discussed that, Jo, re the hazards to that. We both know who I suspect it is.

Not bones Dee - a piece of coconut shell, and some reactions with nothing found.

Well Rasputin someone died in that apartment and there was blood, don’t you think being a resort that they would have records of such another event happening?
September 5th, 2008 at 9:28 pm
Dee i know you were addressing Jo but what is missing is how the hell could they have allegedly killed her-gone out to dinner and then most significantly disposed of a body-I mean if they did transport it 25 days later where on earth waas it for those 25 days-without stinking the place out-Let’s face it you wouldn’t need a sniffer dog asyou’d probably be able to smell it in friggin’ Spain.

The direct words of Justice Hogg.
“At all times jurisdiction was assumed by the Court because, there being no evidence to the contrary, it is presumed Madeleine is alive”

Hello Jo
How are you? Seems some people want to quickly pass over the fact that the dogs were brought in to help first of all

Apologies to Marie if I offended last night with my wording. I would have done so at the time, but it not made clear until after the strike. Marie, I am well aware that you are capable in defending yourself and putting your point across. Which I am sure you would have done
Artemis, there are very many inapproriate comments on this site but you choose to single me out.

What’s your point Stig?

Real Stig, I’m sure you know that when people who have dogs that a deep bond can develop between the owner and the dog and the dog can sense every emotion the owner feels and reacts accordingly.

Is that the same as a Dentist/Nurse/Doctor saying ‘now you won’t feel a thing’ ?

Dogs have an acute sense of smell….
They can smell an awful lot that we can’t….
They presumed nothing….
They re-acted to what they smelled there.

Jo, you didn’t answer my question: wasn’t it said at first when that sweet little girl disappeared there was a possibility the gypsies took her? Yes or No, Jo??
Now, Jo, really my memory hasn’t faded for my recall - you made it a point, you even bragged about it on here, how you contacted the parents to stir up trouble over the McCanns intentions to put their daughter’s picture on with theirs. Yes or No, Jo??
You, Jo, stirred the pot as much as you could when you could to turn the Cortes - and the public - against the McCanns. Yes or No, Jo??
In fact, Jo, if my memory serves me - I do recall that Carmen congratulated you on all that you did re the Cortes [in stirring up the pot]. Well, in fact you were the heroine of Anorak with the phone calls you made and congratulated by many on here including Carmen for evil deeds well done (except by me, of course).
Now please tell me is my recall correct that when that sweet child went missing the thought was that maybe the gypsies took her ?

I know I probably give the impression I think dogs are useless - but that is not the case. I fully acknowledge dogs can have remarkable abilities to detect and discriminate odours on a tiny scale.
My objection is when people claim they are infallible, so their reactions should be treated as being as good as hard evidence.
September 5th, 2008 at 9:07 pm
Good Evening Everyone,
May I please re-iterate that these dogs were initially brought in to HELP the McC’s find M, and as such the best dogs with the best record of results were taken to PDL. The results were probably a shock to their handlers!
September 5th, 2008 at 9:04 pm
So what do we presume-she died behind the sofa and hid her in the wardrobe for 25 days?
M and A
No evidence of her death
September 5th, 2008 at 8:59 pm
Eddie and Keela, your specialised subject, sniffing out what you have been trained for.
Woof,
You passed on no questions.

I can well imagine that - way too many American movies.
In Australia, we don’t draw words out, we prune them - even already short words, and just add ‘ie’. A swimming costume becomes a cozzie.
Although a word you wouldn’t find in most Aussies vocabulary, let alone in actual use, I can imagine it becoming a pissie.
I have even witnessed Ian become E, or perhaps I was miss-hearing it and it was the ultimate ‘ie’.
I think we shorten words to minimize the time available for Blow Flies - blowies - to make an entrance. Also why so many Aussies are ventriloquists and talk without opening or moving their lips.
