WHY they're digging there is the question. They're not digging there because it looks like a good spot to hide a body.

Firstly, they aren't digging. They are searching and surveying. Any digging that MAY occur will occur AFTER the searching and surveying. Personally, I doubt there will be much (if any) digging.

Secondly, I suspect that it 'looking like a good spot' is exactly why they are there. If you think it's because of anything more specific than that, then I'm afraid you are mistaken.

I would be amazed if they don't employ dogs at some point, but I wonder whether the ones we are seeing at this stage are the GNR dogs.

I don't think so.
The GNR dogs were supposed to be German Shepherds and the like, not cuddly , loveable Spaniels .

The areas they want to search are connected to Smithman. If he went up Rua 25 de Abril it leads you to the scrubland where they are now. If he went the opposite way it leads to the church where the next search areas are located so it definitely connects with the prime suspect.

Smithman carrying a child in his arms checked his watch after passing the Smith family and the time was 10:03. Both are still unidentified 10 years later.

Those unreliable dogs are back. Yes a spaniel like Eddie.

According to tweets from ITV, the dogs and their handlers are Welsh. So, not Grime then.

Who cares?

I'm sure the dogs will be highly trained, wherever they come from.

Welsh police officers and sniffer dogs involved in the search for April Jones are in Portugal helping with the search for missing Madeleine McCann.

I have thoroughly walked all the zone been searched now in March 2012, taking more than 100 pics. You can find most of these pics at http://gerrymccannsblogs.co.uk/H3.htm  (pics PA310304.jpg to PA310397.jpg), and http://gerrymccannsblogs.co.uk/H6.htm (pics PB011067.jpg to PB011076.jpg).

Thank you, Heriberto.

Last night an ex pat being interviewed in a news programme [Sky, I think] said this area had not been searched in 2007. 

There have also been statements in the press from other residents that the area was searched immediately after Madeleine's disappearance.

Do you have any information about who is right or who is wrong?

"All I'm going to say is that we've conducted a very serious investigation and there's no indication that Madeleine McCann's parents are connected to her disappearance. On the other hand, we have a lot of evidence pointing out that Christian killed her," Wolter told the "Friday at 9"....

An example of the task faced by the police, even when they know approx. where a cadaver is buried.

It now appears that the UK police doing the searching from South Wales, who took part in the April Jones case, are using SPANIELS in their searches.

Oh the irony.

Spaniels are relatively small, and intelligent.  But I've got a very clever Pug if they want to borrow it.
