There is something wrong with the sequence of events proposed by Amaral to explain the dog alerts.
If someone finds something in the lounge and takes it to the outdoors - all that happening within a tiny slot of a two or three minutes - why on earth would anyone waste time taking it into a wardrobe in a different room on the way - it would be pointless wouldn't it? - and Amaral fails to state a believable reason why someone would do that complicated diversion.
Its possible Madleine died in 5a and its possible she was in the parents bedroom before or after, (MO went looking for her in her parents room rather than her own room for some reason and also Kate Mccann is on tv record saying you would never think someone would take your child out of "your bed") the alerts outside have always been a bit mysterious
Mr Amaral never claimed to be God or a cadaver and blood dog expert...he spoke as he found as he understood at the time and after advice and info from UK experts, and lets face it, most child disappearances are NOT by strangers, why blame him
What is ridiculous to me is that some people say the cadaver dog could have alerted to sweat in 5A! etc etc Smacks of total denial
