What evidence would confirm a cadaver dog alert?

[Venturi Swirl]

Belief is less needing of evidence.

“an acceptance that something exists or is true, especially one without proof.”

Which describes Wonderfulspam’s admission of believing the parents guilty from day one to a tee.

As there is no proof of Madeleine’s fate, there are only beliefs, right?

Some scenarios are definitely ruled out IMO.  Ie. not stabbed in apartment 5A,

I did this in similar circumstances, so that aspect of it has always been hard for me.  I cannot condemn The McCanns for something I did myself.

And in case you ask, No, I don't think I was being stupid.

You were lucky.

[Carana]

three bone fragments (the largest 25 mm = 1 inch long) were identified as possibly human; two of them have been dated to a range from 1470 to 1650 and the other 1650 to 1950

Were human bones found found under the coconut? Not sure where you found that.

You were lucky.

And managed to raise three children who are kind, and don't spend their time accusing without just cause.

[slartibartfast]

youve only given a definition of belief...thats hardly useful...you have not demonstrated a diference beteween the two...

opinion


noun
1.
a view or judgement formed about something, not necessarily based on fact or knowledge.




so wheres the diference

Especially vs not necessarily...

[Venturi Swirl]

Especially vs not necessarily...

We are not talking about proof are we... If we had proof it would not be opinion or belief.. It would be fact..

They are obviously interchangeable as I have shown


proof and evidence are not interchangable....thats where you have made your mistake

Sometimes parents have a need to stay sane to be a good parent.

Then get a babysitter.

Then get a babysitter.

I didn't need one.  I was only next door.

Sounds like the McCann situation!

[In my experience one of the strangest situations was on the night I was arrested.  I was a solo dad with 3 young children in bed asleep and their dad was locked up in the local goal  with no rights to make a phone call to sort the situation out.]

[Mr Gray]

Davel posted up earlier posted about a case in Scotland where the findings of a cadaver dog search were then used in a criminal trial along with much other evidence I hasten to add.

It seems it was carried out by S.Yorks police again.  Are they the only area in the country that have these dogs?

I'm assuming investigators were able to carry out checks to determine who had previously rented the McCanns hire car?

If anyone has a spare 75.00 and some 6 hours to spend on 9th Nov they could always go along to Martin Grime's training course

He states that he's unable to answer questions about the McCann case as its an on-going investigation!
