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…

Ah ok, but isn’t it true that they had that reaction to a few things that were asked
It always makes me wonder when i see that clip of them not wanting to comment to the Murat question, that they probably did know him before or else they would have naturally said ‘No’ It was back in the early days when they weren’t so ‘polished’ for the press. Murat had been in exeter not long before the holiday, where the tanners live.

Perhaps the weather has got to them - except for Julie who’s in SA.
Ireland and the UK are being battered by high winds and the rain is bucketing down. Parts of the UK have had a months rain today.

Stig please, a link to the report about only 17 cells being found in the boot might help me to understand the insignificance of their presence in the car.

Dee, it is G McCanns reaction to the question, Did you know Murat? Always gets them running,.

Evening Saul,
If the ‘i don’t want to comment’ bit means what i think you are refering to…(K’s statements)
It is a strange way to behave as a parent. If my child had gone missing i would spill my guts to the police about everything, if i thought it would help, and before anyone shouts me down saying that she thought she was being tricked, let me ask you….
How can you be tricked into something if you have nothing to hide. i have always believed that you should tell the police everything because even the slightest detail you don’t consider to be relevant might be!
It is documented that the parents were uncooperative right from the start. long before the dogs or any suspicion was on them.

Sorry to cut out on watching the brilliant sleuthing on here but Hanna is not far away and heading to the store before she hits my area in a couple of hours.
Real Stig, if you are croaking instead of talking I’ll know what happened!

Just looking/whoops
They found some blood did they? Care to describe how much and the results of tests on it.
As for the car. I understand they found 17 cells. Would you get 1000 cells on this period . ? They can’t tell who the cells belong to and it is certainly such a minute amount that even if they were Madeleine’s, they could easily have got there from transference from something she had handled or worn.
How do you transport a presumably decomposing body - apart from the obvious ‘very carefully’
and only loose 17 cells?

Sadly Cheryl it does happen, but hopefully the bears eat the ‘humans’……
But most dog people actually love their dogs, and training sledge dogs takes ages
My friend’s Duck toller is called Stig, but then……

Dogs are for eating on long Antarctic trips when the other food has run out.

Just looking :LOL: or in the boot of the car-keep it out of the house.
September 5th, 2008 at 9:45 pm
I think nose-bleeds are highly embarrassing. As a parent, I used to insist that my children bled into the corner of wardrobes or under the sofa if they couldn’t find a flower-bed to duck into.
September 5th, 2008 at 9:41 pm
Dee-yes i think if they were responsible/irresponsible then that is the case. just can’t get mmy head round the practi-flippin’ calities.
