Eddie's alert in the garden

[pegasus]

(snip) Eddie clearly barks in the flower bed.
At 39 seconds for proof.

Probably some will claim that noise in the flowerbed is not necessarily a bark at all, and that the dog is just clearing his throat because he's tired out after a long pant, or he could be pining for the south yorkshire dales.

[Mr Gray]

The proposition was that Eddie did not alert in the garden.
The Archiving Report says he did.
I merely pointed the proposition was incorrect and provided a link to the cite as per forum rules.
Whether you can find it in the archiving report and how you want to dress it up is no concern of mine.

Just cut to the chase and tell us what you think it says.

Listening to the audio of this http://youtu.be/c4NMYPsFKb8?t=56m21s
56m25 Loud bark = Eddie alerts in flowerbed
56m43 "... to really sort of make him..."
56m48 "... root, it must have been right at the root..." (the root of the large climbing plant presumably)
56m51 "...can you ..... it when you come in? ..." (can anyone hear what that verb is please?)
56m55"... yeah I think so ..."

So, in summary, the video evidence is that Eddie alerted in the garden.

But Grime makes no reference in anything he has written to the alert (or even the inspection, I don't think) in the garden

Why not?

Here is the relevant page of the Report which you are reading Davel.
Item 3 clearly states that the dog signalled in the garden.

Would you please quote, from MG's written report, his observations about the nature of the alerts in the garden?

[ferryman]

So the opening post asked for a link to Eddie's alert (in the garden) which was duly provided.

Where do we go from there?

I am interested in facts, and here the fact is that Eddie very clearly barked while he was in the flowerbed. Eddie is completely logical. I prefer to independently interpret the facts that Eddie states on video - and not rely on other humans' interpretations thanks.

as you will already have noted, "marcou" is defined as meaning "deu sinal".

Cuttings from the flower bed were sent to the FSS for analysis presumably for traces of Madeleine's blood.

I suppose the theory was that Madeleine might have fallen into the garden?

We are not off-topic, here, because the opening post places no restriction, beyond the alert in the garden.

I seem to recall it was an English technician who recommended that cuttings from the flower-bed be sent to the FSS.

I'm guessing they wanted to rule out that something dreadful befell Madeleine in the garden

That was ruled out.

Coming back to the central question, why did Eddie alert in the garden?

Next step is look at plausible scenarios which might result in Eddie signalling the flowerbed.
In the dog video, the panning of the camera after the alert, to show not only the 5A balcony above, but also the higher balconies and roof, implies that there was maybe an immediate hypothesis of some kind of fall? Also the next day coillection of branch material from the climbing plant and fibres from the wall near that plant implies there was possibly a hypothesis of a fall into the plant? I am not agreeing with those, just observing how the investigators were thinking.

We have seen and heard Eddie alerting in the apartment at the couch area.

Also in the corner of the bedroom.

We have seen and heard him alerting at the cupboard in the villa and his performance at the Renault was unforgettable.

We have seen him throwing clothes around in the gymnasium.

That little woof in the garden is surely a little bit of an anti climax in comparison.

Why did Martin Grime report on all the alerts ... but didn't mention any alert in the garden?

Merely an academic question as none of the alerts really mean a thing.

BTW this isn't my hypothesis, it's straight from the warning notice in the lounge..

What would happen, hypothetically, if a child climbed and fell over the railing just outside the south bedroom?
