[Mr Gray]

The samples are so small in some cases they can only apply one test.Either they look for cells or they do a DNA test.

so no corroboration

[G-Unit]

yes...and I also said this today..

wasnt it in the FSS report...if it isnt its my mistake

contray to what some think im happy to admit if im wrong..

I'm pleased we've finally got rid of the myth that Eddie alerted to Gerry McCann's blood. Something achieved for once.

It shows how important  it is that posts are challenged and cites given

Keela alerted to the key fob ... why did she do that?

[pathfinder73]

Keela only alerts to human blood. Eddie alerts to human blood and cadaver scent and both could be possibly present. You cannot rule out cadaver scent and I seriously doubt the police would with a child that is missing. Madeleine has been missing for 12 years!

"Identify the EXACT location of blood so small in size that when forensically recovered will NOT provide a full DNA strand despite low copy DNA analysis."

If it’s a myth he alerted to Gerry’s blood then it is also a myth he alerted to cadaver scent.

Eddie alerted to the key fob contaminated with cellular material later identified as Gerry McCann's, while it was in the hire vehicle ... that the alert was to the key fob was confirmed by removing it from the vehicle whereupon the dog sought it out and alerted again.

Similarly Keela sought the key fob contaminated with cellular material and alerted to it.  What does that tell you?

One explanation is that Keela was trained on the individual components of blood ie, red cells, white cells. plasma & platelets. I've no clue as to how an individual component could leave the human body on its own, although the red blood cells carry no DNA.

ETA Nuclear DNA is only found in nucleated cells — this rules out three of the four major components of blood: red blood cells (which don't have nuclei), platelets and plasma. So you only get nuclear DNA in white blood cells, which are outnumbered by red blood cells in the blood stream by about 600 to one.

If they can clean an object 3 times, and Keela could still alert to blood, she is not alerting to cells or DNA but the actual smell of the blood.   Each species must have it own distinctive smell of its blood.  The molecules making up that smell must be small enough to permeate metal and possibly plastic surfaces.  As a vet I'd agree that each species as a characteristic odour of it flesh/blood etc.  This was noticeable during surgery.

Keela alerted to the key fob ... why did she do that?

She was trained to alert to human blood and in my opiniom she did that; in 5A behind the couch, in the car boot and on the key..

But who's blood?  That's the thng.

may be ...but the alerts are not corroborated...and Grime has is not on record as saying they are...in fact hes on record as saying they are not

[G-Unit]

Keela's alerts, as Grime said, showed them where to look. She was correct because something was found, but the findings weren't all that helpful.

In Jersey they looked and found a coconut.... Does that mean the alert was correct
