Amaral and the dogs

[LagosBen]

not according to the PJ ...the dogs totally ignored things several times before "alerting"...that isn't the way I have seen any scent dogs working

Brings me back to this.

"surely if a corpse had been in that apartment or anywhere close to either McCann or their clothes" -  the dogs would have reacted strongly.

I don't believe there was a corpse. I believe the child was taken.

I totally agree

You are not alone.

I thought that their training was thorough and their noses were very sensitive so no coaxing would be needed.

I've also  got lots of experts in my little book who know even more than the recognised professionals. Funny that!

Im sorry to say I think you are slightly befuddled

Well YOU would wouldn't you? I'm sorry to say I think YOU  are slightly biased.
When the 'do it yourself experts'  think they know more than the recognised professionals I can't help but smile.

Grime and Harrison are the experts and I see nothing in their statements that convinces me there was a cadaver in the apartment

Perhaps an expert second opinion would have been useful. Sadly, to the best of my knowledge, no expert second opinion has been forthcoming from the world of EVRD trainers/handlers to support Grime's interpretation of his dogs' alerts in Luz.

You won't get an argument from me on that assessment which I think is spot on.  We also seem to be in accord with the present investigations being conducted by the PJ and SY.

[Carana]

If you read my post  you'll see that is exactly what my suspects do   in my little detective novel. The alarm  is raised on the evening of the 3rd. The body is transported during the afternoon of the 3rd. After all the 'accident' has  in reality happened on the 2/3 rd.

Why, when, where and how? And then where?

Me too.   

Welcome back Ben.  Hope you keep well.

I agree - otherwise there would be no need for a scapegoat for the biggest muck-up on the planet.

Are you referring to me when you say blood is a ridiculous as a remnant scent?    I remind you it was a forensic scientist who said that.

No, I wasn't referring to you, I was referring to the fact that AFAIAW cadaver dogs can alert to the remnant scent of decomposed human tissue after death, not the remnant scent of fluids from living people, which are not items used to train these dogs.

[LagosBen]

Me too.   

Welcome back Ben.  Hope you keep well.

Thank you Sadie. I don't come in often as it seems to be the same convos over and over again. %£&)**#

But that's part of what this never-ending argument is about.

Eddie would alert to dried blood from a living person. Why? Because it was a decomposing human substance.

There is nothing in the PJ files, nor from what I've read in the Jersey reports that would substantiate that Eddie wouldn't react to other decomposing fluids of a living person.

What Grime HAS said is that KEELA wouldn't react to semen, urine or faeces unless blood was present.

He never said anything of that nature about Eddie that I've seen.
