Oh! Well mistakes do happen. Well spotted, never seen that before. I know the boot of the car was not mentioned in the final PJ report as being alerted to by Eddie. But it doesnt matter does it? As if he had alerted inside the car, the fact that Keela also did would not suggest anything much.
Eddie alerts to a general dissipated scent that has attached itself to areas and objects way past the originating spot, unlike Keela who alerts to a very specific spot where physical evidence lies.
Also the fact that Eddie alerted to something coming out of the door seal, that he alerted to the key card separately and that Keela also alerted to that and in the boot, doesn't necessarily mean that he was not alerting to cadaver odour as well.
ETA, that was to Carana.
Eddie alerts to any general dissipated scent of cadaver or BLOOD.
Eddie alerting and Keela alerting does not increase the knowledge that is produced by those alerts other than that blood id present. Cadaver odor remains undetermined from before to after the alerts
See my post on logic and apples and oranges.
If the scent of dried blood dissipates, why does Keela pinpoint very specific places? cadaver scent is no where near the same. it is made of hundreds of chemicals unlike blood and said chemicals rise up, are moved and merge with porous surfaces. That is why Eddie can only pinpoint a very general area.
And no I disagree with your idea that Eddie and Keela alerting to a similar area must mean Eddie is alerting to blood. you cannot know that.
Wrong way round.
You start not knowing if there is a ossibility of cadaver odor.
Eddie Alerts- meaning cadaver odor or blood- still no indication of cadaver odor alone.
If Keela alerts as well then this adds nothing- still cadaver odor or blood- no indication of cadaver odor alone.
BUT
If Keela does not alert, then that means no blood. We now have additional information- Eddie's alert was possibky to cadaver odor.
Only the joint alert/no alert identifies cadaver odor.
See my thread on apples and oranges.
