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…

Stig - so you must be basing your Mr. Coco notion on something else…
But does it really matter? Or do you think that misrepresenting oneself and one’s deeds/actions disqualifies all that the subject says and does?

I was not asking you to disprove the statement that K had been in contact with 6 corpses, rather to prove your own claim that no such statement had ever been made.

No Liza it isn’t. I’m just having a bit of fun. I know women who like high performance cars and modify them to increase their performance but they are in a minority.

“The two doctors, from Rothley, Leics, revealed that in just 10 months the Find Madeleine fund has paid £1million to Spain’s Metodo 3 detective agency to search for her.
And they are prepared to do and spend whatever it takes to uncover the truth - no matter how grim.
Kate said: “It’s a lot of money but we can’t set a limit. A child does not have a price. We will pay what we have to. It just takes one person to make the one phone call we so hope for. We know she was abducted and believe someone knows or suspects something.”
Is there no end to their hubris.
WE will pay what WE have to ? How much have THEY paid ?
And was not the £1m to M3 was specifically denied by Clarrie some time ago ?
£1m wasted in 10 months is £100.000 wasted per month. Were we not told the figure was 50k, and then were we not told some time later that it was a small retainer (paid by someone else) plus some expenses ?
“[WE] believe someone knows or suspects something”
Correct on both counts.

matt, the real stig, i thought they were police dogs and he a police officer, and afterwards he retired from the force ? yes, it says here ,pc martin grimes
http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/uk/article783458.ece
but it also mentions another handler, mr ellis, whom i hadn’t heard of before.

Having posted the link for the report summary with regard to the PJ report, it would appear that liza along with others, fails to realise that the claimant of an alleged quote should supply the link to verify their claim, it is not the job of other posters to disprove non verified statements.

amazing!!
they had given the first interview, after losing the statute of arguidos, to the periodical (a portuguese one) that they wanted to sue for having freed the PJ final report.

Excuse me but isn’t this just the condensed final report? Or have you perused all the (reported) 30,000 pages?
Thanks you anyway for your reply

Remapping is reprogramming the EPROM in the ECU. With some this is pretty near impossible and a complete new chip or ECU is required.

They must be clever. Has it been patented?
We usually call it remapping in the trade

It”s not too bad here at the moment but lots of flooding around the Country. I don”t
know how the actors kept a straight face in that sketch, I get loads of jokes from
different friends, but this is one of the best.
I agree about the dogs, the Garage clip was very good, but the apartment one looked
as though the dog had to be led. One thing bothers me, how did the sun get hold of
the video which is apparently 2 hours long. I read a while ago that the PJ paid for
the dogs which I believe at the time were owned by the Police. If this is true, why
would the PJ let the video be released if te case is shelved not closed? Who was it
who gave the video, or a copy, to the Sun.

Well I’ve just seen the video and to be honest i cant understand a word the dog says.
And how come the handler gives the dog a choccy every time he scents something? Did they starve the poor bugger prior?
September 6th, 2008 at 12:41 pm
Sam
The dogs and their handler are no longer connected with the Police. They are a commercial business.

I don’t know if M Grimes was a Police Officer at the time.
I think he was and has now become a private citizen…contracted by Police
Forces now when they required his and Eddie’s assistance.
I don’t think it is feasible re a “fit-up” by him either.

Yes, that”s possible, artemis wouldn”t mind if it”s in a good cause, but the McCanns
would have to be very careful if they send the diamonds for a valuation that they don”t get lost in the post!!!!!!!!!!
Can I come and sunbathe in your garden, i could do with a nice tan.
