You should have added, in your opinion, which holds no weight whatsoever.
Please explain why clothing should not have been expected.
This was not clothing kept in some special storage awaiting inspection.
This was clothing in common circulation as clothing is: worn, washed, hung out on washing lines, packed in suit cases (and all the rest) for fully 3 months after Madeleine's abduction.
What would they have been looking for? Traces of Madeleine's blood (obviously microscopic, because blood in quantities visible to the naked
human eye wouldn't require a dog to find it).
And if they had found microscopic traces of Madeleine's blood on any clothing, so what?
Madeleine sat on mummy's knee or Daddy's knee, has a nose blood or other minor abrasion and blood transfers to clothing.
What would that prove?
Here is Harrison's summary of all searches:
The timeline of these searches was as follows:
On 31-07-07 the PJ conducted canine searches with a search warrant at apartments in Praia da Luz that had been previously occupied by the McCanns and their friends.
On 01-08-07 the PJ and GNR assisted by a canine, conducted searches on the eastern beach and wasteland in Praia da Luz.
On 02-08-07 the PJ conducted a search warrant at a villa in Praia da Luz currently occupied by the McCann family.
Later the same day PJ officers conducted a screening procedure involving items removed from the McCann’s villa.
On 03-08-07 PJ and GNR officers were given instruction based on translated extracts from NPIA doctrine on search management and procedures. This focused on search procedures relating to buildings and vehicles.
On 04-08-07 and 05-08-07 a search warrant was executed at the villa and gardens belonging to the PJ suspect Robert Murat. This search involved both PJ and GNR personnel supported by civil defence, geophysical equipment operators and a canine handler.
On 06-08-07 ten vehicles were searched associated to the enquiry.
On 07-08-07 the western beach and remaining wasteland areas were searched using canine and GNR personnel.
On 08-08-07 the drains around the apartment block where Madeleine McCann disappeared from were subject to a visual inspection by PJ officers.
Harrison acknowledges the input of Grime and his dogs
only in those searches he recommended: the holiday apartments, the Murat's place (which I should have mentioned earlier), and areas in and around PdL.
Both inspections at the villa and at the gym, he summarises as
PJ exercises.
And he gives no clue at all who took part in the inspection of vehicles.
We can confidently state that Amaral's account in his book of how the inspection in the gym came about is a lie.
