So what actual searching was there?

[pegasus]

I have read about a case where an innocent relative literally punched a UK detect. for in retrospect failing to search completely the premises

[Lace]

What I fail to understand is,   to get cadaver odour in the first place a body has to be left for an hour and a half.

So,   if Eddie alerted to cadaver odour behind the sofa [I believe he alerted to blood]   then Madeleine would have had to have been there for about an hour and a half.   So when would this have happened?

Could we please try to stick to The Topic.

If Eddie alerted to blood

and Madeleine bled on or before 3 may 2007

and Eddie alerted on ... whatever - months later

would the blood have been dead enough for Eddie to alert?

Now, if we were sure that Eddie alerted only to dead bodies, as opposed to dead blood, then Eddie's alerts would be interesting.

If the substance Eddie alerted to was Madeleine's blood, then given the long time that had elapsed since Madeleine disappeared before Eddie searched, I would be really worried by non-dead blood.  That would be into the Madeleine-was-an-alien bucket.

Dead blood tells us nothing about how long a potentially dead Madeleine was behind the couch.

Fixation with you.

 

That's a classic faux pas.

First time any investigator (GNR or PJ or forensics or K9) pulled sofa out to search behind it was IMO over 12 weeks too late.

Well pegasus her body was never found in 5a at the time or beyond so im struggling to see the point

The whole case summarised in a few words of the PJ final report http://www.mccannfiles.com/id136.html

"... G5A apartment ... the disappearance of a minor of British nationality ... between 21H05 and 22H00 ..."

Is the question worded correctly?

Well Mercury , just pointing out that the available evidence is that the search (as recorded in statements) inside the property boundaries was incomplete.
