Ah!
That is also the report that confirms, much more convincingly than tabloid newspapers, that Eddie alerted to a coconut .[/list]
It seems Eddie did not sniff out the coconut shell through layers of concrete ... and if the forensic anthropologist was of the opinion it was part of a skull ... I'm sure everyone else on site would think so too.
Eddie alerted, exactly as he had done in the corner of the master bedroom in apartment 5A.
23 February 2008 0910hrs – Item found by anthropologist X and identified on scene as being part of a child’s skull. This item is then exhibited as JAR/6.
0930hrs – Exhibit JAR/6 is presented to the Enhanced Victim Recovery Dog which gave
an indication suggestive of human remains.

What a pity the situation in Praia da Luz had not been subject to the same scrutiny ... it could have saved a lot of future expense, time and reputations.
That which Eddie indicated was suggestive of human remains in Jersey was a coconut shell. That which Eddie indicated was suggestive of human remains in apartment 5A was ... ??? Yet an industry has been built on it.
