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…

Anyway, i’m not here to convert the people who believe whole heartedly in the McC’s. And i will not be converted to believing that they are poor little victims either!
I’m here to find out the truth, find out what’s happening with the whole case lately, as the press has been gagged from the start imo, and here we get to talk to people from lots of other countries and get to hear different things than we do.

We agree on something - very, very foolish.

Yaaaaaawwwnnn - What was that Saul? I was just taking a little nap and think I missed it.

Pam what i was getting at with my comment was that these ’scientist’ happened to lose those 17 cells, so how can anyone refute or re-test what they say.
Pretty incompetent don’t you think? losing the evidence like that? what else is incompetent about their lab?
September 5th, 2008 at 10:57 pm
DEE, yes, M3 and hot-shot costing-too-much nonetheless-retained other ones … A fortune, going where?

Brazen, lying scientists, investigators, policemen, jurists, parents, friends, priests, independent witnesses, nannies, waiters, desk clerks, and everyone-else-in-the-entire-effing-world-but-yous! How DARE they say seventeen cells, when you damn well remember reading about buckets of blood, hair, and decomposition fluids on some anonymous, meant-for-an-entirely-different-purpose website! I mean, really, who do they think they’re kidding? It’s okay, dear, we know a conspiracy when we see one, and no amount of evidence is going to convince us otherwise! Be strong. It’s all going to fall apart any second now.

Evening, Saul!
I can see that you are in good form, but shouldn’t you be holding something in reserve?
Or is it already throwing-out time…
September 5th, 2008 at 10:40 pm
Dee,
Whilst I agree that Gerry McCann’s refusal to comment on Robert Murat looks distinctly weird, I do think it has nothing to do with Murat and everything to do with Gerry trying to impress people.
He really does want people to believe that he’s a take charge kind of guy; he wants people to believe that he’s an alpha male. Hence the barked ‘No comment!’
Of course it failed totally, since he’s got all the masculine charisma of a piece of blotting paper, but the omega male does make that kind of mistake…
September 5th, 2008 at 10:38 pm
Well that’s Garth taken care of, now it’s just The Real Stick up it’s arse to take care of.
September 5th, 2008 at 10:36 pm
Garf
You pissed?
September 5th, 2008 at 10:33 pm
Stig, the police wouldn’t be able to establish that there were only 17 cells by sight, so i’m assuming it was the lab that established this?
The same lab that happened to then lose the evidence? the evidence in one of the biggest cases in the past ten years?
