Dog Alerts- Evidence or not?

[Mr Gray]

Yes Harrison seems to think it has to be physical, Grime is not recorded as saying that, ever.

Grime uses the the word 'corroborate' or phrase 'corroborating evidence' 6 times in his report and never once attaches the word physical.

try this one from Grime..

'Can the dog mix up traces of human odours with others that are non-human''
I cannot comment on what the dogs think. However, from a forensic point of view and from confirmations of scientific testimonies, the dogs appear to be extremely exact. But, forensic confirmation is required in all cases so as to be included as proof.

Forensic evidence was collected. Here's how Lowe reported on it:"An incomplete DNA result was obtained from cellular material on the swab 3a. The swab contained very little information and showed low level indications of DNA from more than one person. However, all of the confirmed DNA components within this result match the corresponding components in the DNA profile of Madeline McCann. LCN DNA profiling is highly sensitive it is not possible to attribute this DNA profile to a particular body fluid."

This is what I'd imagine Perlin wants to get his hands on if it's still in existence.

Problem is Madeleine would have components that matched her mother and father,  also they could match a strangers.

And her Brother and Sister.  Such ignorance must be bliss.

That is the name and she is the victim!

Yes I agree... which is why it's time to see if Dr Perlin can help with this.

Let's put that question to Dr Perlin.

Yes, that why so many cold cases have been cleared up through the re-evaluation of DNA samples.

Do you think it likely that an abductor would have hung around spilling their dna all over Maddies bed sheets?
