Another question: remembering, always, that they were looking for Madeleine's blood, what was the basis of supposition that it might be found on the ignition key of a car hired 3 weeks after her abduction?
A bit odd, isn't it?
That whoever handled the non-existent gooey mess in the boot also drove the car? Or that the key card had fallen onto it?
If Grime is correct that Keela can identify blood to molecular level, then that molecule of blood could belong to anyone since the key card was manufactured. As the GP, that doesn't seem to explain Eddie's reactions (his lack of reaction to where this gooey mess in the boot was supposed to have been, nor his reaction to the key card).
I think it was Misty who questioned whether the door compartment was subjected to the same verification as the key card, which is why I went back to check. So far, there seems to be no indication that the door storage compartment itself was subject to particular scrutiny by
both dogs. Keela's alert to it isn't on the video. There is no mention of the door being opened either on the video, nor in the report, as to whether the door was opened for Eddie to have a sniff of the inside of the door.
When driving, I find that it's the most convenient storage area for anything I need to grab or stuff somewhere other than on the passenger seat. Maps come out, water and sandwiches, tissues / food wrapping go in.
