A three year old child was reported missing, never to be seen again, and a dog trained to bark at the smell of death barked in the flat where she was last seen alive
Unless evidence is found that the little girl did not die in that apartment, then it is simply not possible to dismiss the indications given by the dog
*edited to add*
As far as we know, the dog may have been accurate in his alerts and the missing child did die in the apartment
There is nothing, by way of evidence ( apart from her parents' assertions ) to say she did not
BUT thats the sticking point isnt it, how can they assert that really? She could have died.
We get told perhaps the abductor was in the apartment all the time GM was there, and afterwards. Perhaps the Abductor had held of the child and covered her mouth, and she suffocated. The perb is panicking what to do, so stays there to gather thoughts hiding in the McCanns bedroom/wardrobe perhaps, then waits and takes the child with him to give more time to get away....WHO KNOWS.
What I do find very strange is the dog alerts later...
Cadaver: 'Piece of Madeleine’s clothing'
Cadaver: 'Stuffed toy'
Cadaver: 'Two pieces of clothing or Kate Healy McCann'
Cadaver/Biological vestiges: 'Luggage area and car keys of the McCanns'Why Kates clothing, and why a piece of the childs clothing. Were they in a bag with the childs body? or was the body laid close to these pieces of clothing.
Mrs McCann might not have worn these 2 articles of clothing and she would not have needed to wash the article of Maddys if it was clean.
ALL very odd.......
I can kind of get around the apartment, but not the clothing or the car.
