Title: Was the PJ right to decide that Madeleine had died so early on?
Post by: sadie on October 10, 2018, 01:03:55 PM
The fact that Amaral made up his mind that Madeleine was dead and that they were anly searching for a dead Madeleine, almost from day 1 is disgraceful. 8()(((@#

Also the way that he decided, without any evidence, to Stick it all on The Mccanns  ?8)@)-)



There were many more things, but the two above were so destructive to ever finding Madeleine.   Seems he didn't care.

It seems to have escaped your notice that Amaral wasn't 'in charge' of the first investigation, Neves and  Encarnacao were above him, with the Public Prosecutor supervising all of them. Perhaps it suits your agenda to suggest he was in charge and directing how the investigation proceeded, but it's a myth.

Goncalo Amaral left the investigation in early October 2007 and it continued on for around 10 months yet supporters only consider him as being within the PJ.  "it is all Amaral's" fault is their cry.

Amaral was the Lead Detective.  And it appears to have taken Rebelo quite some time to clear up the mess after Amaral was taken off the case.  So Amaral can't have been paying much attention to orders.  Or order either.

Given the number of diligences on file that came after day 1 and involved a live Madeleine, your post is nonsense.

I dont believe that Madeleine was a normal subject for trafficking.   I believe that she and possibly Joana were selected because of their elite historical bloodlines.  As such it is likely that neither of them will have been sexually abused.


All in my honest opinion based upon deep research.

So if there are no signs whatsoever of activity from the PJ at all then we are not allowed to criticise and must instead assume they are beavering away dilligently behind the scenes, almost certainly n the verge of cracking the case?  Righty-ho then.  ^*&&

We don't see £millions being spent by the PJ and they are assisting Scotland Yard when they want to search Praia Da Luz and interview their chosen suspects.   They may well be doing other things but it is the Portuguese way to remain silent.  They may not have done so back in 2007 and stories were leaked but this time they are not. Of course in 2007 team McCann were also leaking stories IMO

We have no idea how much the PJ have spent on a second investigation do we?  All that manpower and hard work they've put into it, it might well be double what Operation Grange have spent for all we know!  @)(++(*

Davel thinks nothing is going on except an attempt to obstruct Scotland Yard.   

We don't hear any praise being given to the PJ by the McCanns. 

We don't hear the PJ begging bowl being rattled every 6 months for more funding from the Portuguese government.

The PJ investigation may have cost double that of Scotland Yard but I doubt it as they have had no need for translation costs and flights and hotels over to have a jolly holiday at the crime scene.

So do you think there's a bottomless pit in Portugal as far as funding this case goes- how many years in total have PJ been investigating?  It must amount to a pretty penny, yet funnily enough I also don't hear much criticism ffrom the Portuguese about the amount being spent on one foreign missing child.  Could it possibly be that it's because they're actually not spending very much time or money trying to crack this case at all?

Hyperbole on top of Portu-bashing.

Nicola Wall got in, assessed the case, got out again, and got on with cracking solvable cases.

As for the Porto investigation, the fact that you are ignorant of what has been going on, means precisely that - you are ignorant of what has been going on, no more and no less.

No, Sadie is completely wrong. The Portuguese AG would never have permitted the case to go as far as it did unless there was compelling evidence against the suspects. One has to remember that the police had at their disposal much more evidence over and above that made public. That evidence aside, the parents in refusing to cooperate fully in an investigation in which its principal aim was to find their own missing child was appalling and must have raised many eyebrows both in Faro and in London.

Speculation... The, arguidos have to be informed of all evidence against them... The evidence us in the files... And none of it was confirmed... In my view the only eyebrows  raised in London would be, at the incompetence of the Portuguese... At least the present investigation admit there is no evidence against the mccanns

That's incorrect because I know for a fact that there is a substantial amount of evidence.  Whether SY chooses to act on it is another matter completely.

To go back to the opening post for a moment.  The PJ made their decision on the basis of all the evidence available to them at the time.  Only they know the extent of that evidence. They chose to pursue Robert Murat before pursuing the missing child's parents.  They cannot be criticised for merely doing their job in what was extremely difficult and unusual circumstances.  The parents did themselves no favours by refusing to cooperate fully IMO.

how do you know for a fact.....thats a sweeping statement that requires some sort of cite...I know for  afact all the evidence has to be declared at the arguido stage....
the Pj persued the mccanns because they thought the dogs were 100% accurate...thats a fact and is in  files...the PJ got it badly wrong

The PJ have collected a lot of evidence as has SY. They are not pursuing anyone as yet on the basis that the evidence so collected is insufficient to mount any prosecution.  IMO, Redwood came closest to taking this case forward but he failed to find Madeleine's remains.

No Sign? were you expecting one? Did you miss the bit where they said they do not give running commentry and they have rules in places regarding talking about the case.

 IN FACT  SY were quite open about the fact that they depended on the good will of the PJ and made it known they would not talk about a live investigation.   So SY have nothing to declare!  since you are of the opinion that the PJ  have done nothing- because if you could cite  it would not be an opinion- on that same note SY have also done nothing.

What you mean is that you read it like that because of your preconceived opinion of him   imo .
Of course he didn’t make all the decisions which if you’d read the files you’d think differently perhaps,although it’s easy to see supporters are never going to believe anything other than what they’ve set in their minds to believe.

In Amaral's book (pdf) he mentions the arrival of the DCCB reinforcements, including Neves;

"From now on two deputy national directors, assisted by the Coordinator of the Portimao Department  of Criminal Investigation, will direct the investigations"

The chain of command seems quite clear to me.

So Amaral thought.

He wasn't alone in his thoughts and his thoughts didn't dominate or decide the direction of the investigation, which is the point being discussed.

The theory of a fall from the sofa under the window, for example, was Encarnacao's. The request for Mark Harrison's services came from Encarnacao and it was he who decided which searches were carried out by the UK dogs.

I translate that as you are saying I'm wrong.  Well in my theory there was a body and the DNA tests and the cadaver dog results have not proved that wrong.  That is why I said to Lace "wrong" when lace said "No existence of a body was confirmed,  neither by the dogs or the DNA".

Maybe I  don't fully understand what "No existence of a body" means but I don't believe the non-existence of a body has been confirmed.
Does "No existence of a body" equal "non-existence of a body"?

In my theory the body is not Madeleine so you can't look for Madeleine's DNA to prove it didn't exist.

Im my theory there is a cadaver in the apartment but it isn't Madeleine.  What tests can be applied to prove or disprove that?

The dogs most probably alerted to cadaver odour for that is what they are trained to alert to.

The DNA will not match Madeleine's unless they were closely related.

So I take it that the tests did not exclude the possibility of a cadaver that wasn't Madeleine McCann.

You have misunderstood it....no existence of a body has been confirmed...that is absolutely true

no existence is not the same as non existence
Are you saying "no existence of a body has been confirmed" is equivalent of saying "the existence of a body has not been confirmed"?

The dog definitely did not alert to the presence of a cadaver, past presence of a cadaver is a possibility, as is item or items contaminated with cadaver animal or human, as is false alerts caused by handler/dog error.

Please stop posting that there was no evidence Sadie because that is untrue.

The only 'evidence' that he thought that he had, turned out to be untrue

He thought that Eddie and Keela had proved that Madeleine had died in 5A.  After much reference to various reports and documents, we now know that to be false. 

Apart from one spot by the place where a bedside table would have normally sat, the dogs did not identify anything alarming in 5A. 
The owner of 5A, Tasmin Silences grandpa, had died whilst living in 5A.  His death was in hospital, but the likely place that his mourning widow would have kept his pyjamas and likely his ashes would have been on the bedside table.


You cannot claim the nothings that the dogs came up with were evidence of any kind for a cadavar.

Was there any real evidence, John?

Post by: sadie on October 12, 2018, 01:26:28 AM
No, Sadie is completely wrong. The Portuguese AG would never have permitted the case to go as far as it did unless there was compelling evidence against the suspects. One has to remember that the police had at their disposal much more evidence over and above that made public. That evidence aside, the parents in refusing to cooperate fully in an investigation in which its principal aim was to find their own missing child was appalling and must have raised many eyebrows both in Faro and in London.

Oh really?

Was the evidence of the same quality as that used against Leonor Cipriano ?   8)><(

It seeme to me that the questions were aimed at trying to fit them up.  Amaral was in charge and he told Gerry a whopping lie to try and make him confess to something that neither he nor Kate had any part in.  That is the appalling thing about this case.  The Mccanns knew that Amaral was only looking for a dead Madeleine, not a living Madeleine.


The parents were quite correctly advised not to answer the questions and by this time it was very obvious, imo, that The Mccanns knew about what had happened in the Cipriano case. 


In th early days one could pick up on the internet  that Leandro Silva (Leonors partner) had notified The Mccanns of the injustices of the case and the brutality of what happened to Leonor.   Probably the Ambassader / Consul had also made them aware of the Cipriano case and of the injustices and torture in the Michael Cook case.

They must have known that the questions were in place to try and fit them up, in my opinion

Once a dog has be trained to something, that training never leaves him.


So he would alert to cadervarine from a piglet.  Roast suckling pig is a great favourite in Northern Spain and Portugal

And you get that a lot, in apartments in the Ocean Club?   Sadie, Martin grime was clear that bacon does not cause the dogs to alert.  I am sure he said the dogs could go through a cafe full of people and not alert.


Eddie' The Enhanced Victim Recovery Dog (E.V.R.D.) will search for and
locate human remains and body fluids including blood in any environment or
terrain. The initial training of the dog was conducted using human blood and
stil born decomposing piglets. The importance of this is that the dog is
introduced to the scent of a decomposing body NOT FOODSTUFF. This
ensures that the dog disregards the 'bacon sandwich' and 'kebab' etc that is
ever present in the background environment. Therefore the dog would
remain efficient searching for a cadaver in a café where the clientele were sat
eating bacon sandwiches. He has additionally trained exclusively using
human remains in the U.S.A. in association with the F.B.I. The enhanced
training of the dog has also involved the use of collection of 'cadaver scent'
odor from human corpses using remote technical equipment which does not
contact the subject. This method is comparable to the simulation of cross
contamination. It does however differ in that the remote scent samples
recovery does not involve subject matter and therefore is a 'pure' scent
sample. The dog has since initial training gained considerable experience in
successfully operationally locating human remains and evidential forensic
material.

So does Keela

The second dog that we've seen work today is the crime scene dog Keela. She will only indicate to me when she has found human blood, only human blood and it is only blood and there must be something there physically for her to be able to alert to me that's she has actually found something. At this point over here where the victim recovery dog has indicated, as you saw on the video, the crime scene dog had actually given me what we call a passive indication where she freezes in this spot here which would indicate to me that there is some human blood there. She will find blood that's historically very old and she will find anybody's blood, any human blood, which is important to make sure that everybody knows.

The fact that there is other scientific methods being used may stop you recovering any DNA but if you try we'll see what happens. But she is very, very good and when she indicates there is always blood there.

What? All dead bodies stink eventually no matter how they die. Due to their superior noses dogs are able to detect that smell when humans can't. They can also distinguish between species, which humans can't do either as far as I know.

Related to this could you explain in your opinion  why Redwood changed what OG were thinking  I.e.  that Madeleine might not have left her holiday apt.alive ?

Why were the dogs brought in.... Because death in the apartment was a possibility... That is not opinion but fact..
Death in the apartment always was, a possibility

And I put semen but mentioned that it was very unlikely for the dog to have alerted to that in some of his alerts.

Do you have any other bodily fluids that come out of a live person?

Urine.. Nasal mucus.. Mucus from any other orifice

I think you will find the Portuguese most popular food is fish ...and fish dishes.....

I think you are wrong to say every tom dick and harry have a pig....

unless you have that proof ...and not an excuse....they have

I doubt very much the mccs came into contact with a freshly slaughtered pig ....in a holiday complex.....

But the cleaners might have done ... and there is also the possibility that it was planted.   Remember Ccat being produced out of that cupboard and yet what seemed to have alerted Eddie was the pile of folders  and the loose piece of paper on top? 

Wonder how the scent of cadarvarine got there ?

Unless one has the time and equipment for fishing, or land for keeping sheep etc.,the cheapest protein has be home grown pork or chickens.  Just breed them and feed them on scraps.

During the war my hubbies family had a part share in a pig.

I don’t need to read back nor do I need you to answer a question posed specifically  to Davel.
Kindly let him speak for himself.

IMO, someone died in 5a and those supporters who keep on insisting that no one did in order to support Gerry McCann’s claim that the dogs are terribly unreliable are making fools of themselves imo.

I don't understand why this should be different.

The Pig intestines are removed in the garden and then cleaned out and used for making sausages on the kitchen table.  And very good they are too.

The point is that cadaverine from the Pig's intestines could easily be transferred to elsewhere.

Fishing takes time.  A lot especially if you are some miles from water ... and you need a boat (preferably) and rods etc.

The Portuguese as a race are quite poor.  My Portuguese friend, a man of 30 and a computer expert and linguist, (several languages) worked in a hospital and he earned about £7.000 per year working a full week.  That was about 8 years ago.

People in this country would not get out of bed for that sort of money.

One free way of keeping your family properly fed was to keep pigs, breed, feed and slaughter them yourself.  In my opinion, Leandro and Leonor were good parents.


My suspicion is that many of the poorer families in PT would do likewise and keep a pig/pigs

Yes that is right.  I was going to answer that about the species.  Each species has its own odour when you open it up during surgery.  I reckon I could tell what species I was working on even if you blindfolded me.  Whether the cadaver dog is picking up a combination smell of death plus plus smell of human blood.   
I imagine it would be similar to those who have a career in wine tasting, beer brewing, coffee blending, cheese making ... etc. they would devote parts of their memory to subtle changes before making decisions.

You might think so be the intestine would be largely affected by what the animal last ate. 
Cadaver dogs reacted to decomposed body parts.  So I'm tending to think the training must emphasise odours that are in body parts eg limbs as well as torso.

My professional opinion as regards to the EVRD's alert indications is that it is
suggestive that this is 'cadaver scent' contaminant. This does not however
suggest a motive or suspect as cross contamination could be as a result of a

My professional opinion as regards to the EVRD's alert indications is that it is
suggestive that this is 'cadaver scent' contaminant. This does not however
suggest a motive or suspect as cross contamination could be as a result of a
number of given scenarios and in any event no evidential or intelligence
reliability can be made from these alerts unless they can be confirmed with
corroborating evidence. http://www.mccannpjfiles.co.uk/PJ/MARTIN_GRIMES.htm

Cross contaminant is the only supporter get out IMO

He also dispels the semen myth also from your cite Pathfinder

'Taking into account the signals of CSI, could the dog alert to other biological fluids''
The dog that alerts to human blood is trained exclusively for this purpose, and includes its components, plasma, red cells, white cells and platelets. Given the nature of the training, the dog will not alert to urine, saliva, semen sweat, nasal secretion, vaginal secretion or human skin unless these are mixed with blood.

Supporters don't need a get out...there is no confirmation to cadaver...

In the rogs Grime was asked twice if cadaver contaminsnt was confirmed..each time he dodged the question...

Personally I don't consider this a "dodged question"

Could the alert have been given because the clothes had been in contact with other items of clothing, surfaces or objects that could previously have touched a cadaver, thereby allowing the odour to be transferred''
There is always a possibility of contamination of odours by transferral. EVRD does not make a distinction; he responds with a certain behaviour for which he was trained when he recognizes an odour. He does not identify the reasons for the presence of the odour nor does he identify suspects. Forensic confirmation and specialized investigation methods will determine the reasons and the suspicions. In order to undoubtedly affirm there must be a confirmation of the alert signals made by the dog.


He is saying that Eddie alerted to the odour "he recognizes"  ie cadaver scent.   He does however mention that there is "always a possibility of contamination of odours by transferral".

Are you suggesting this cadaverine is free floating ? From dead Grandpa’s pjs  for instance  to settle in places Eddie alerted to ?
If Grandpas Pjays were on the bedside table next to the wall, they would from time to time, maybe always, be touching the wall.  Same with Grandpas ashes


How do you think that cadavarine got up the wall so high?  Surely Madeleines dead body (the sceptics idea about her dead body) was not hung from the wall?  On public display.

Do you think that she was nailed to the wall, or something ?  What a dreadful and silly thought.


Please be real.   Sensible ideas about the cadaravine up the wall would be taken on board


If you come up with a sound idea, I will listen, but I cant see anything that makes sense regarding Madeleine .

Do you have a cite to show that ashes give off cadaver odour and also one which shows that pyjamas were left on the bedside cabinet following the grandfather's death.

Cadaver odour scent will move around a room and pool, Martin Grime has already explained that the part of a room where Eddie alerted may not be the exact location of where a cadaver may have been placed.

Keela

Keela's considerable talent in uncovering minute pieces of evidence that can later be confirmed by forensic tests has put her in the forefront of detective work across Britain. She was drafted in to help after the stabbing of the young mother, Abigail Witchalls, in Surrey, and has been involved in high- profile cases across 17 forces, from Devon and Cornwall to Strathclyde.
 
She has already helped to apprehend a murderer after sniffing out blood on a knife.
 
PC John Ellis, her handler, said that police sent for Keela when the scenes of crime squad failed to find what they were looking for. "She can detect minute quantities of blood that cannot be seen with the human eye," he said. "She is used at scenes where someone has tried to clean it up. If blood has seeped into the tiles behind a bath where a body has been, she can find it."
 
The spaniel can sniff out blood in clothes after they have been washed repeatedly in biological washing powder, and can detect microscopic amounts on weapons that have been scrubbed and washed.

Eddie had never made a false positive alert.

FALSE ALERTS

'False' positives are always a possibility; to date Eddie has not so indicated
operationally or in training. In six years of operational deployment in over 200
criminal case searches the dog has never alerted to meat based and
specifically pork foodstuffs designed for human consumption. Similarly the
dog has never alerted to 'road kill', that is any other dead animal.

I see it mentions in training as well as on deployment. That makes his very accurate IMO.

You'll find it on forum somewhere, maybe 3 years ago.

From memory, the Mr McCann in question died in a hospital in the UK.

I cannot remember if he was cremated, as opposed to being buried.

I have never seen anything to evidence that Eddie alerted to crematoria ashes.

Nor have I seen any evidence that his ashes or pyjamas were brought back to 5A by his wife.

This man tho Sadie said  is the grandpa of Tasmin Silences  , whoever she is /was not  a McCann .

Cadavar odour hangs around, no need for blood showing cos the odour doesn't (easily) wash out.  Could be on fingers too.

But almost certainly if that was cadavar odour in the bedroom it was from the ashes of Tasmin Silences dead grandpa .. or from his pjays.

Average annual wage in Portugal in 2010 was 17,000€.

https://www.pordata.pt/en/Portugal/National+minimum+wage-74

The annual minimum  National wage (median) for Portuguese workers in 2010 was 6,650 EUROS.





https://www.macrotrends.net/2553/euro-british-pound-exchange-rate-historical-chart

The median exchange rate,of the Euro to £ sterling over 2010 was 0.86 Euro = £1 sterling




Therefore, exchanging Euros for £.sterling the median minimum National Portuguese wage, ten years ago, was :


6,650 x 0.86 = £ 5719


£5719 aint much, is it?



Seems my friend at £7000+ wasn't doing so badly after all.

 
There must have been some massive wages  amongst an elite few if your Portuguese National average salary of 17,000 €uros is correct, slarti

slarti,  can you please show us where you got that figure from?   TY




As I said the Portuguese were a poor people generally and it is a wonder that many of them were able to feed themselves and their families.   A pig or two could have been a way of doing that ... and possibly of raising extra revenue by selling joints off.

Their slaughter hygeine ?    Now that is a question that we dont know the answer to, but it was unlikely to have been high.

You havn't upset me at all Sadie .
I simply wanted Davel to tell me why he thought Redwood would say OG were now having to think Madeleine might not have left the apt. alive . Imo it was because they were considering the dogs were correct which davel  is vehemently denying .
Forget I asked him ?

Showgirl

I am glad that you were not upset.

All the supporters on here have studied long and deeply the cadavar odours, poring over documents etc.  and Davel has hit the nail on the head, the alerts mean nothing, zilch.  We all believe that from the conclusions reached. 

Davel is so fast and accurate, that we tend to leave it to him, but we all (I believe) support him.  He knows his stuff.


Personally I think the actual Eddie and Keela alerts seemed to be brilliant, but we dont truly know if they are correct.




I am sorry but it is complex, and it would take me far too long to explain it to you.  Also it takes some time for the implications, (what the alerts meant and what they didn't) to sink in.   
Amaral either didn't undrstand them, or he did and chose to use this complex subject to accuse The Mccanns  with.

1)  We know that people kept pigs.  No need for figures.

To have meat to eat, they would need to with such low wages.  In 2010, the median minimum wage was only £5,719


2)  The dogs, Eddie at least, was exclusively trained on baby piglet carcases.   This is where he learned what he had to alert to, which was cadaravine.  The odour of dead baby piglets was the thing to alert to and then get his reward.

According to documents provided on this forum, once a dog is taught and learns something, he NEVER unlearns it.   I am sorry but I am not wasting my time searching for that ... but most people on here have seen it.


The long and short of this is that he will remember his training and alert to baby pork.   On this forum too, it was stated in documents/ reports that cadavar dogs are used to trace dead burned bodies in the bush fires of the USA.


Pigs and humans aparantly smell very alike.

Lenore Hansen is comforted with a hug from a volunteer with the institute of Canine Forensics as archaeologists uncover her daughter’s cremains

         
CHRIS SMITH THE PRESS DEMOCRAT | October 31, 201

Somewhere within the layer of crackly, heat-bleached, almost granular ruins of Lenore Hansen’s country home north of Santa Rosa was all she had left of her younger daughter.

Erin Hansen had attended Piner High and was 30 years old and the mother of two sons when she died of cancer 10 years ago. Her mother kept her ashes in a box in her bedroom closet.

There wasn’t time to grab it when the firestorm bore down on Lenore Hansen’s 60-year-old, creekside house off Riebli Road the morning of Oct. 9.
___________________________________
Once allowed to return and view the destruction of her house, it sank in that Erin’s ashes were in there, mixed with those of the walls and the furniture and everything else.

“Just the thought of her ashes winding up in a toxic-waste dump was more than I could handle,” she said.

She read in The Press Democrat about Lynne Engelbert, whose dog, Piper, is trained to find human remains, even ancient ones. Two weeks ago, Engelbert and Piper voluntarily located in the debris of Curt Nichol’s home the cremated remains of the landscape architect’s parents.

Lenore Hansen contacted Engelbert, who lives in San Jose and is active in the Institute for Canine Forensics, and asked if she would come look for her daughter’s ashes.

“The wind. The wind,” she said with a shake of her head Sunday alongside her home’s remains.
___________________________________
Lynne Engelbert came to Sonoma County on Sunday with friend and fellow dog handler Kris Black of Los Gatos. Through the course of a long and emotional day, Engelbert, Black and their dogs found cremation ashes at the sites of four burned homes in and near Santa Rosa.


Prior to going to Lenore Hansen’s property, the women and their dogs were in Larkfield, helping out Brett Gripe. The retired police officer and his wife, Cheryl, deeply regretted having never scattered the ashes of his father, John Warren Gripe, a Marine Corps veteran of World War II who died in Santa Rosa in 2009 at the age of 85.

  ... his father’s ashes, contained in a tin box he kept in a closet beneath his home’s staircase, were “going to be the biggest needle in the haystack.”

Both Engelbert’s border collie and Black’s Belgian Malinois, Annie, clearly relished the challenge when they independently searched the rubble of the Gripe house. Both lay down around the same spot in the ruins, alerting their handlers they smelled human remains.

Aided by Santa Rosa archaeologist Alex DeGeorgey, Engelbert and Black carefully scooped up the ashes and placed them in plastic bags. The Gripes profusely thanked the trio, who accept no money for their services, and heaped affection on Piper and Annie. A few miles east of the remains of the Gripe home, Lenore Hansen was standing alongside the ashes of the house she’d cherished for 30 years when the two human-remains detection teams and the archaeologist arrived.

For her visitors’ benefit, she pointed to the part of her destroyed house where she kept, in a closet, the wooden box containing Erin’s ashes.

Engelbert went to her SUV and opened the door to a dog kennel. Lithe, eager Piper jumped out. She scooted to the remains of Hansen’s house, and sniffed.

Soon, the dog paused, then lay down. Engelbert praised her, and returned her to the car. Black then went to her SUV and released Annie from her crate. The athletic dog stepped briskly through the remains of Hansen’s house, laying close to where Piper had.

Hansen watched on her knees from just beyond the bare foundation as Engelbert and DeGeorgey knelt and used garden trowels to examine and remove debris.

To the untrained eye, ash is ash. But years of experience allow Engelbert to distinguish from household ash the texture and tan hue of cremated bone.

After a few minutes of careful searching in the area of what had been Hansen’s closet, Engelbert announced a discovery. With DeGeorgey’s help, she scooped Erin’s ashes into a bag.

At the sight, Lenore Hansen’s chin collapsed to her chest and she sobbed. Black and the grieving, relieved mother shared a long and tight embrace.

https://www.pordata.pt/en/Portugal/National+minimum+wage-74

The annual minimum  National wage (median) for Portuguese workers in 2010 was 6,650 EUROS.





https://www.macrotrends.net/2553/euro-british-pound-exchange-rate-historical-chart

The median exchange rate,of the Euro to £ sterling over 2010 was 0.86 Euro = £1 sterling




Therefore, exchanging Euros for £.sterling the median minimum National Portuguese wage, ten years ago, was :


6,650 x 0.86 = £ 5719


£5719 aint much, is it?



Seems my friend at £7000+ wasn't doing so badly after all.

 
There must have been some massive wages  amongst an elite few if your Portuguese National average salary of 17,000 €uros is correct, slarti

slarti,  can you please show us where you got that figure from?   TY




As I said the Portuguese were a poor people generally and it is a wonder that many of them were able to feed themselves and their families.   A pig or two could have been a way of doing that ... and possibly of raising extra revenue by selling joints off.

Their slaughter hygeine ?    Now that is a question that we dont know the answer to, but it was unlikely to have been high.

A simple google search. You implied your friend was a Computer Expert, not exactly minimum wage territory.

How could Eddie be tested by an ACPO instructor if he didn't still alert to decomposing pig?

Did the ACPO instructor test Eddie on decomposing pig? I doubt that as there would be no sense in doing that if his purpose was to alert to human cadaver not porcine.

Lenore Hansen is comforted with a hug from a volunteer with the institute of Canine Forensics as archaeologists uncover her daughter’s cremains

         
CHRIS SMITH THE PRESS DEMOCRAT | October 31, 201

Somewhere within the layer of crackly, heat-bleached, almost granular ruins of Lenore Hansen’s country home north of Santa Rosa was all she had left of her younger daughter.

Erin Hansen had attended Piner High and was 30 years old and the mother of two sons when she died of cancer 10 years ago. Her mother kept her ashes in a box in her bedroom closet.

There wasn’t time to grab it when the firestorm bore down on Lenore Hansen’s 60-year-old, creekside house off Riebli Road the morning of Oct. 9.
___________________________________
Once allowed to return and view the destruction of her house, it sank in that Erin’s ashes were in there, mixed with those of the walls and the furniture and everything else.

“Just the thought of her ashes winding up in a toxic-waste dump was more than I could handle,” she said.

She read in The Press Democrat about Lynne Engelbert, whose dog, Piper, is trained to find human remains, even ancient ones. Two weeks ago, Engelbert and Piper voluntarily located in the debris of Curt Nichol’s home the cremated remains of the landscape architect’s parents.

Lenore Hansen contacted Engelbert, who lives in San Jose and is active in the Institute for Canine Forensics, and asked if she would come look for her daughter’s ashes.

“The wind. The wind,” she said with a shake of her head Sunday alongside her home’s remains.
___________________________________
Lynne Engelbert came to Sonoma County on Sunday with friend and fellow dog handler Kris Black of Los Gatos. Through the course of a long and emotional day, Engelbert, Black and their dogs found cremation ashes at the sites of four burned homes in and near Santa Rosa.


Prior to going to Lenore Hansen’s property, the women and their dogs were in Larkfield, helping out Brett Gripe. The retired police officer and his wife, Cheryl, deeply regretted having never scattered the ashes of his father, John Warren Gripe, a Marine Corps veteran of World War II who died in Santa Rosa in 2009 at the age of 85.

  ... his father’s ashes, contained in a tin box he kept in a closet beneath his home’s staircase, were “going to be the biggest needle in the haystack.”

Both Engelbert’s border collie and Black’s Belgian Malinois, Annie, clearly relished the challenge when they independently searched the rubble of the Gripe house. Both lay down around the same spot in the ruins, alerting their handlers they smelled human remains.

Aided by Santa Rosa archaeologist Alex DeGeorgey, Engelbert and Black carefully scooped up the ashes and placed them in plastic bags. The Gripes profusely thanked the trio, who accept no money for their services, and heaped affection on Piper and Annie. A few miles east of the remains of the Gripe home, Lenore Hansen was standing alongside the ashes of the house she’d cherished for 30 years when the two human-remains detection teams and the archaeologist arrived.

For her visitors’ benefit, she pointed to the part of her destroyed house where she kept, in a closet, the wooden box containing Erin’s ashes.

Engelbert went to her SUV and opened the door to a dog kennel. Lithe, eager Piper jumped out. She scooted to the remains of Hansen’s house, and sniffed.

Soon, the dog paused, then lay down. Engelbert praised her, and returned her to the car. Black then went to her SUV and released Annie from her crate. The athletic dog stepped briskly through the remains of Hansen’s house, laying close to where Piper had.

Hansen watched on her knees from just beyond the bare foundation as Engelbert and DeGeorgey knelt and used garden trowels to examine and remove debris.

To the untrained eye, ash is ash. But years of experience allow Engelbert to distinguish from household ash the texture and tan hue of cremated bone.

After a few minutes of careful searching in the area of what had been Hansen’s closet, Engelbert announced a discovery. With DeGeorgey’s help, she scooped Erin’s ashes into a bag.

At the sight, Lenore Hansen’s chin collapsed to her chest and she sobbed. Black and the grieving, relieved mother shared a long and tight embrace.

Hansen said later the recovery of her daughter’s ashes “brought some fresh grief as well.”

Engelbert was happy to have brought Hansen some peace.

That is from a house fire there would be parts of bones and teeth. They burn at up to 1100 degrees farenheit. A cremation achieves a temperature of 1600 to 1800 degrees farenheit so would be totally different.

Acting in my role of advisor to the U.S. Justice Department I have facilitated assessment of numerous cadaver search dog teams in the United States. These dogs are exclusively trained using human cadaver sources. When I introduced pig based products into training assessments 100%! of the animals alerted to the medium.

The remains the dogs were tasked with finding in both instances were the remains of loved ones who had died and had been cremated and whose ashes had become mixed with the ash from the conflagration which destroyed the homes where they were kept.

But Gripe said he was certain his father’s ashes, contained in a tin box he kept in a closet beneath his home’s staircase, were “going to be the biggest needle in the haystack.”

I think sometimes it is possible that when your mind is closed to other possibilities it is easy to ignore the obvious.

You asked for a cite regarding the capability of dogs to locate cremated human ashes and when given it go off at a tangent ignoring the truly fascinating reality of the capabilities of these animals.

Two animals alerted at exactly the same places ... not a coincidence ... not by chance ... but finding what they were looking for.

In my opinion Sadie is correct in her assessment that there are those of us who have an inquiring mind with an interest in following fresh paths and there are those of us with a closed mind as to what can be proved as far as the known science of the dogs is concerned because they know it all already.

In my opinion the evidence above indicates that dogs will alert to cremated human ashes ...

Clever doggies!  There was quite a lot of ash to choose from ... but in both instances they alerted independently at the same spot.  Wonder if it was to a scent they recognised?

NOT the same.  Keela is trained to alert ONLY to blood and nothing but blood. 

Therefore, as recorded in the files, both dogs - Eddie and Keela - alerted to blood which forensics determined had nothing at all to do with any member of the McCann family.

The dogs used by the Institute of Canine Forensics ... Piper and Annie, both trained to find human remains, independent of each other "lay down around the same spot in the ruins, alerting their handlers they smelled human remains."

Quite.  Just as there were no alerts to cadaver scent in the Renault hire car it having been proved forensically that Eddie's alert was as a result of cellular material which had been deposited by Madeleine's father.

Keela didn't alert at the wardrobe only Eddie so it's not blood at that location.  All you need to know is that they were looking for evidence of a body in 2007 and were still looking for it 7 years after when SY returned. The dog alerts are relevant to this case as is the original forensic material that was stored.

One can only judge an animal's performance based on it's track record.  In my opinion Eddie's reaction in both cases we know about in any detail ~ Portugal and Jersey ~ show that Eddie was not reliable at that stage in his career.

For anyone to believe that solely in this case would the police question the use of the dogs is naive in the extreme.

DNA - Madeleine had been there so even the finding of Madeleine's DNA would not prove she had been dead in the apartment.

So do you think there's a bottomless pit in Portugal as far as funding this case goes- how many years in total have PJ been investigating?  It must amount to a pretty penny, yet funnily enough I also don't hear much criticism ffrom the Portuguese about the amount being spent on one foreign missing child.  Could it possibly be that it's because they're actually not spending very much time or money trying to crack this case at all?


Or could it possibly be ....

they know they know there is only one way to crack the case....

think this is a good example of what need's doing imo.....


I'll leave this question: if the much acclaimed effort of the English police to find Maddie fails to produce results, despite the massive amount already invested, wouldn’t it be wise to reopen the investigation in Portugal, placing the homicide hypothesis again on the table?

I'll leave this question: if the much acclaimed effort of the English police to find Maddie fails to produce results, despite the massive amount already invested, wouldn’t it be wise to reopen the investigation in Portugal, placing the homicide hypothesis again on the table?

I have no idea why the PJ came to the conclusion that Madeleine had died in the holiday apartment with her parents responsible either to a greater or a lesser degree and then somehow disposed of her a if she was yesterday's rubbish, before they had taken the time to eliminate all other possibilities for which there was real evidence.

Joana Cipriano had vanished without trace from a village in close proximity to Luz and as far as I know no connection to that disappearance with Madeleine's was thought about by the investigators.
Who in my opinion were in a sticky wicket as far as Joana's disappearance was concerned ... the books had been written ... the 'murder' solved ... the mother doing the time ... reputations made as 'crimebusters' too.  So it might have been awkward for the same investigators when another little girl vanished in the same area.

Then when Scotland Yard discovered that seven abuse cases of minors had occurred ... later amended to many more ... it blew a gaping hole in any case against anyone until these assaults were ruled out of having any connection either to Joana or Madeleine's cases.
Of course being a murder victim ruled Joana out as a person in her own right ... the PJ had 'proved' she had died at the hands of her mother.
Just as in my opinion Madeleine was set to be ruled another dead non person who had a homicidal maniac for a mother, the ground being primed by pejorative illegally sourced leaks supposedly of her mother's diary.

In my opinion the Portuguese police jumped the gun on deciding Madeleine's death without properly investigating all other avenues ... I doubt there is another law enforcement agency who would have ignored a spate of assaults on minors some of whom may have shared Joana and Madeleine's profile ... when a minor went missing on their watch.

Yet it took the advent of Scotland Yard to take note of this elementary aspect of policing.


British investigate 7 sexual abuse before Maddie disappears
Betting in other cases, in the Luz zone, in 2007.

By Miguel Curado | 04.10.17

Snip
When it appeared to be definitely closed, the investigation into the disappearance of Maddie McCann in 2007 in Praia da Luz, Algarve, revived at the hands of the English Met Metropolitan Police - and with a well-defined course. The investigators focus on seven situations of sexual abuse to minors reported at the time, in that area, and that came to the time deserving the attention of the Portuguese police, namely the GNR, but without any results.
______________________________________________________________________________________
GNR, at the time of its receipt and the six other complaints, communicated them to the Judiciary Police. It was possible to conclude that at least five situations will have occurred before the disappearance of the child. However, none of the situations came to be used as a line of investigation. Now, ten years later, the Met wants to revive this scenario even because, according to British media reports yesterday, British investigators are in possession of a list of 38 sex offenders who were identified, at the time of the disappearance of the child, in the vicinity of Praia da Luz.

Is that how it is done in Portugal when working on a child's disappearance?  Destroy the mother's reputation and charge her with murder instead of checking out all cases where entry has been made to children's bedrooms by a predator as part of the investigation of the case of a child who has vanished from her bedroom?

Somehow I don't think that is going to catch on where proper policing is concerned.

Keela didn't alert at the wardrobe only Eddie so it's not blood at that location.  All you need to know is that they were looking for evidence of a body in 2007 and were still looking for it 7 years after when SY returned. The dog alerts are relevant to this case as is the original forensic material that was stored.
By the wardrobe, I presume you mean the wall between the wardrobe and the headboard?  Several feet up the wall.

What we have to be able to understand in a situation such as this is in a hot climate with the apartment being closed down, the scent will build up in a particular area. If there isn't a scent source in here, i.e. a physical article where the scent is emitting from, any scent residue will collect in a particular place due to the air movement of the flat, the apartment and what I would say in this case is that there is enough scent in that area there for him to give me a bark indication but the source may not be in that cupboard, the source may well be in this room somewhere else but the air is actually pushing into that corner. But strong indication and I would say its positive for things that he is trained to find, which will be part of a separate debrief.

There are scent cones & there are scent pools. If the dog/handler couldn't establish the source of the scent, how could the handler differentiate between the dog alerting at a source or a location somewhere within the cone? That principle applies to some of the other alerts.

Having read about scent cones I believe Eddie would have zigzagged back to where the scent was strongest before alerting.  With scent pooling he would get his nose in the middle and alert IMO.    Davel said cadaver scent won't pool. I disagree with him too by the way misty.

If cadaver odour persists, it might persist in fine particles, for example, skin cells that come off a cadaver.  Now I could think that it is possible that heavier than air particles like cells are blown around in the air currents and could accumulate in certain areas.
So rather than odours being concentrated it is the source of the odours that are gathered.

Pooling with water is the flow of water to a lower level basin, I doubt if that happens with gases to any degree.

OK cold air is denser than warm air meaning cold air will pool.  If air with scent was denser than non scented air it could happen, but I doubt it.

The question I ask is :- at what stage do the molecules separate enough during diffusion to cease becoming recognisable to dogs as cadaver odour?

The question I ask is :- at what stage do the molecules separate enough during diffusion to cease becoming recognisable to dogs as cadaver odour?
There would be a variety of molecules that need to be together for the dog to recognise the odour as human cadaver.

All cadavers will produce putrecine  "Putrescine, is a foul-smelling organic chemical compound NH2(CH2)4NH2 (1,4-diaminobutane or butanediamine) that is related to cadaverine; both are produced by the breakdown of amino acids in living and dead organisms and both are toxic in large doses."

All cadavers will produce cadaverine  "Cadaverine is a foul-smelling diamine compound produced by the putrefaction of animal tissue. Cadaverine is a toxic diamine with the formula NH2(CH2)5NH2, which is similar to putrescine. Cadaverine is also known by the names 1,5-pentanediamine and pentamethylenediamine."

So even though I read that cadaver dogs are sniffing cadaverine and putrescine these molecules are just the basic.  - Like that confirms to a dog they are dealing with a dead body.

The dog must have additionally picked up that there are other species specific molecules, and what they are, I just don't know. Is it something based on our diets as compared to other animals.

If this article is correct a dog is smelling "skin rafts" not actual molecules.  http://www.vsrda.org/how-scent-and-airflow-works

Air scenting dogs might operate that way  but they say cadaver dogs can detect odours on items even after they have been laundered, so I tend to think it will be something other than skins rafts.  Only a guess.

I have read that soil will hold cadaver scent and that bushes etc will also preserve the scent. 

Also regarding windows, doors.  From the Theresa Parker case.

Grime added Eddie did not seem interested in the vehicles but in a scent that was wafting in the air, based on the way the dog held his nose upward. Grime said Eddie then "hit" on an abandoned house next door. Testimony shows that house was never repaired after a fire gutted the inside and killed a child several years ago.

But of course you know more than Martin Grime.  I wonder what happens when science catches up with the dog alerts Davel, it may already have, then what will you say?

If the soil was holding scent it would hold molecules that could be tested for...there is no science to support the validity of the alerts...the alerts have never been scientifically tested.  Until they are they have no evidential reliability..
Grime is a dog handler..not a scientist...all his claims have little value without evidence

A cadaver dog would also smell blood even if the article has been removed.   Keela wouldn't alert to that but Eddie would.   It could mean that the a family after the McCann's could have left bloody clothing or bloody tissue in the wardrobe or on the floor and then took it away,  Eddie would still alert to the scent of it.

This news surfaced within hours of the first round of arguido statements - so, yes, in this case. The journalist hadn't interviewed any of the Tapas 9.
I tend to be rather sceptical of any news story these days without eye-witness statement or video footage. There are too many fake news sources these days which purport to provide "the real story".

Indeed , and the McCanns favorite rag 'The Sun' tops them all according to the headlines they throw up.  And Kates book isn't quite the story about Madeleine as was expected.. some nausiating bits not suitable for those of us  who are not so , verbatim about sexual matters. Which incidentally, have no place in a book about a child being abducted.  Even this forum has restricted censored passages . 

 The PJ wuold have the same thoughts as everyone else- was the child dead or alive  they would be 50% correct and 50% wrong.

In my opinion it is negative as far as Madeleine is concerned to insist on Madeleine's death without a single shred of supporting evidence.

I seem to recall a frisson emanating from certain places in the run up to the seventh anniversary of her disappearance ... not in my opinion a positive attitude for Madeleine.

In a US study...

797,500 people under 18 were reported missing in a one-year period, according to a 2002 study. But of those cases, 203,900 were family abductions, 58,200 were nonfamily abductions, and only 115 were “stereotypical kidnappings,” defined in one study as “a nonfamily abduction perpetrated by a slight acquaintance or stranger in which a child is detained overnight, transported at least 50 miles, held for ransom or abducted with the intent to keep the child permanently, or killed.”

You need to look at each individual case to decide what is most likely. Most family child abductions involve seperated parents and custody disputes... How many of the cases you have quoted involve accidental death and a cover up by patents... And their friends.... A lot less than stranger abductions

Quite right, there is no real evidence of anything, so it's all down to probabilities.
It is my opinion that the parents are probably responsible for her disappearance.
There are other opinions.  ?{)(**
Yet you would be unable to put forward a coherent and plausible narrative of how they did it which therefore IMO increases the probability that your opinion is less valid than mine.

Yes, we now know there is no evidence of stranger abduction. IMO.

You have quoted statistics so what iyo is, the probability  of parental involvement

That is quite untrue IMO, and is simply used a convenient excuse by sceptics on this forum.   I have yet to see a single plausible or coherent theory anywhere else online or in print, in places where sceptics appear to be less concerned about writing libellous content.

The content of your post is a mystery to me but it seems you are unaware of some of the most high profile British missing children who were subsequently found to have been abducted by strangers.

The only stranger abduction that does indeed have a Texas connection is that of Isabel Celis which is where the little girl or her body was taken across State lines and found in Texas. https://edition.cnn.com/2017/03/31/us/arizona-isabel-celis-remains-found/index.html

I demand that you back up your post to explain what is fallacious about the following two sentences:

Sarah Jayne Harper ... Holly and Jessica ... James Bulger ... Sarah Payne ... Moira Anderson ... etc

There is a very long and tragic list of children abducted by strangers in which 'statistics' count for nothing ... every missing child case must be considered on the evidence.

Reference the Soham murders.
Here is a parallel for you.
"Cambridgeshire Police said they feared the woman who reported seeing two girls fitting Holly and Jessica's description in a village near Ely, 12 hours after their disappearance on Sunday, was mistaken."
The woman was subsequently "done" for wasting police time.
For those of you not familiar with The Fen, the village, Little Thetford/Streatham is about fifteen klicks (eight or nine miles) NW of Soham.

See I find this odd, the fact that people seem to have a very firm conviction about something yet are completely incapable of explaining how their belief is actually possible within the constraints of the known facts, even to themselves.  No doubt you will claim to have a perfectly plausible and coherent theory that you prefer not to divulge.  Yeah, right!

You see, this the difference between me and supporters in general. I feel no need to provide a theory or explanation, or even try to rubbish other's ideas, whereas I get the impression that supporters are desperate to push their ideas - as if it is going to make a difference.

Real detectives are involved in this case so I'm happy to let them get on with it and when THEY have proved me wrong, then I'll reconsider.

Of course it's not going to make any difference, I just find it interesting that some people seem quite convinced of something which actually would make little sense if they were to actually try and provide a theory or explanation for it.

So just for the record what in your considered opinion are the pinch points that conclusively preclude parental involvement?. Always being cognisant of the statements by Leicestershire ACC and the Portuguese Supreme Court.

No! I don't care if the 20 or so active members on here believe me or not, it happened. Neither do I have a cite for the women of Littleport beating up the press gang to free a local farm labourer but that happened too!
