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…

Well the dickheads have gone, so it’s goodnight from me.

Sorry Karen - I just couldnt bring myself to type his name - but you obviously knew from that description whom I was referring to - I love the Scots (generally) - my son got married in Scotland - I have climbed a Scottish mountain, I regularly drink the nectar which can only be described as the best thing to have drifted south of the border, but unfortunately - that bloody man we have all come to know and hate has the accent which immediately returns him to his “roots” - I am truly sorry, and I will never ever refer to the nationality again - feel free to call me a twaddle (go on then, guess where I hail from - lol

annie, no evidence, yes that owould bother me too, its over empathis (sp?), just like find the body, well hallo, find the body ? it is your daughter, would you a least not say find her body ?
i simply do not know if i am being too penadantic picking up those kind of things. just like the term high tea today, all day i have been thinking about the term high tea, totally stupid, but to my mind, and my thinking was, that i associate the term high tea with a kind of elaborate sandwich meal taken around about six oclock as opposed to normal tea time, around fourish. incredibly pendantic perhaps, but it nags me to read the term high tea used for a child’s meal taken in a nursary before homegoing time. and that no mention of a later supper is given, but a glass of new zealand wine is mentioned. and then i wonder if the term high tea was used deliberately to make the impression of a meal given later than it was. it is an awfully long time for a child of less than four years to go without food from 4.30pm (when she was seen by the cook eating) to the next meal at breakfast.

OK coco, I said woof, suddenly they all became sheepish and retired to their boxes.
September 6th, 2008 at 1:10 am
annie1
I’d object to the use of the phrase ‘Scot git’ if Gerry wasn’t such a tosser.
Up against him - patriotism hasn’t got a hope.
September 6th, 2008 at 1:09 am
Saul - There’s a warning on the box!
Only to be placed with other Clannie-type dolls.
But not after The Files are revealed!!! lol
It’s like a Cult thing - you know - an errrrrrr gang-type-thingy! Like a pact and all that! Sssssh!
Squash them into a suit-case tonight - and lock it.
They are all at each others throats at the moment.
Leave them to it - even if a couple of them come out fighting! lol
I’ll give you double the money back.
Good Night Darlings - See you tomorrow on and off! X

What happened to the leather boys? Have they found an alternate website?
September 6th, 2008 at 1:06 am
Tell me - Oh wise ones on here - Is there even the vaguest chance that this case will be opened again. I must admit to have flitted in and out of the information, but since the release of the files, is there just a smittering of hope that the pj may come up with more evidence to bring the case to the courts - OR are we realistically looking at closure?

September 6th, 2008 at 12:56 am
pam, aquitted themselves ? if that were the case why are you here ?
……………………………………….
Sam! Beg this answer from her! Please get the answer to your question!
September 6th, 2008 at 1:01 am
coco, about those clan dollies I got from you, at the moment they are knocking the fuck out of Ken Barbie and Winnie the pooh. My Daughter is traumatised!
September 6th, 2008 at 1:00 am
Pammy-Wammy ……. - Use this downtime to sharpen your wits and revise the current information available to you.
Choose your Chums with more care ….. lol
Saul - I will never catch up on today’s posts - very interesting - my forensic knowledge is limited to what I have devoured in the past couple of months.
Too much to digest - but I will.
Basically another set of Judiciary in Portugal would have prosecuted without it - but with what they have - it would be a pretty even-handed competition with the two sets of lawyers that The Clannies grabbed within seconds! Mmmmmmmmmmmmm!
September 6th, 2008 at 12:59 am
This from “The Herald”
In the first interview with Kate and Gerry McCann since they were formally cleared of involvement in the case, Mr McCann says: “I will be honest. We have got no idea whether Madeleine is alive or not. What we are certain of is that there is absolutely no evidence.”
Why is it - every time that Scot git opens his mouth he comes out with “absolutely no evidence”
Look back on his comments - nearly 15 months of quotes and almost every statement for that bloody awful man at some point says “absolutely no evidence”
I just wish to God for the sake of that little girl that the police would say “absolute evidence”
September 6th, 2008 at 12:58 am
hi annie, i see, am not really that good at detecting windups and the like
but i was quite sincere in what i wrote, i really do see that, unfortunate isn’t it.
September 6th, 2008 at 12:56 am
pam, aquitted themselves ? if that were the case why are you here ?
September 6th, 2008 at 12:55 am
annie1 - I had a pleasant evening with some friends and they are now stopping over - so have to be up early in the morning to do breakfast.
Have just excuse myself twice on the pretence of urgent emails - It’s a good job there are lovely people like you on here cozI’m in danger of losing my social life over this case.
There are two people downstairs who are convinced that the Clan are completely innocent - I agreed - and then ran up here to my lap-top! lol
September 6th, 2008 at 12:54 am
Don’t worry annie, everyone on here knows exactly what a dick he is.
September 6th, 2008 at 12:51 am
Hi sam - my post was just a wind up == I have absolutely nothing to do with motor racing - but I know Garthy would get up-tight if he thought that anyone on here actually knew him!!
September 6th, 2008 at 12:51 am
It has not been ruled out if it’s the PJ that have done a Ronnie Biggs with them or it’s the ………..
I’m monitoring the situation through somebody who knows somebody that died recently who knew me very well because of a friend of somebody I use to have a sexual liaison with a couple of years ago - so I can rely on the info I receive.
This is how I know Jo’s right about whatever she says.
September 6th, 2008 at 12:51 am
They appear to have not only cleared the door but have–dare I say it?–acquitted themselves quite nicely in the interview I read. Of course, there’s really no need to be bothered by reality. As you were then.
September 6th, 2008 at 12:49 am
night dee, nite chenier
September 6th, 2008 at 12:48 am
Well that’s Garth done with again. Who shall we take the P*ss out of now?
September 6th, 2008 at 12:48 am
Hello coco - how’s tricks??
September 6th, 2008 at 12:47 am
annie, when i see ‘garth’ i see his missus in the backgroud cooking his tea.
September 6th, 2008 at 12:46 am
Chenier! Yep! Apparently there are people who are a tad concerned about them being able to walk through their front door without Clearance - so apparently these Milk Tray Men are doing spookies with them.
I think is why Garsehole may piss off in a minute! lol
September 6th, 2008 at 12:44 am
Right people, I must away.
I need to play some tracks before bedtime, dedicated to the MCanns.
I’m starting with Keep on Running…
September 6th, 2008 at 12:44 am
Right that’s me done for the night, catch up with you all soon, night x
September 6th, 2008 at 12:42 am
pam, ah, whatever, silly games. bore me.
September 6th, 2008 at 12:41 am
I am getting just a tad concerned whilst reading the posts tonight - my other half (certainly not the better one) is a “big noise” if you want to agree with him - in motor racing (hence my ability to spend lots of money on holidays and playing poker - lol) I think I detect a hint of the “sport” in the Garth posts?? God forbid I may well have met him in the past and not realised it!!! HELP me fellow anorakers!!

Are you pissed?
