The truth about the failed marking of cuddle cat by cadaver dog Eddie

[AnneGuedes]

It's in one of the videos.    At the end of the video Grime explains that food was found under a bed and a ball was found behind a piece of furniture saying that was why the dogs were so interested in those areas.

Which video is that, please, Benice ?

So during Eddie's search of villa, where in the living area were the red tshirt, the white sleeveless top, and the grey/white trousers, and why did Eddie not find them?

A good question Pegasus.   One would think in the confined space of a room, the scent would be far more easy to detect than in the large open space of a gym.     Eddie could detect scent from a couple of feet underground - so should have had no trouble with several articles of clothing which may have been in drawers.

I guess it was usefull to determine which clothes, if any, weren't contaminated.

IMO Eddie signalled in the villa the same items he signalled later same day in the gym, they are in one of the several neat piles of ironed and folded clothes on top of the cupboard, and the exact pile is the pile he sniffs just before the first set of barking. IMO he does not bark at the air coming from inside the cupboard where the cat is. The second set of barking is more difficult to work out IMO because the table blocks the camera.

10:30 there's no piles of clothes on the cupboard. There were a couple of pillows on the table.

Its only my opinion, that there are several piles of ironed clothing on the top of the cupboard, and it's possible I am wrong and all those piles are paperwork/books/folders. Taking the latter approach, it might be possible to go through the file photos which show individually each item from the living area box, and locate each item in the video of the living area. IMO the items signalled later in the gym came from the living area box and therefore were in the living area when Eddie searched the living area.

Eddie searched that part and didn't alert first time round. Eddie only alerted when CC was hidden in the cupboard as CC was the only item he marked in the villa so Grime did that 2nd test to confirm. That's my opinion.

The second barking is difficult to understand for me. That table is in the way. I can't make head nor tail of it. Also interesting is that in his book Mr Amaral indicates (IMO and I might be wrong) that Eddie alerted to the toy when it was ON a chair. The portuguese word he uses is "cima" which in dictionaries seems always have the meaning "on" or "upon" and never means "near".

Not sure I think Eddie is barking to say there's cadaver scent here in this area i.e. not at one particular spot. If Madeleine did come to any harm in that apartment then she may have had CC with her at the time. It was placed on her pillow neat and tidy when it was found like the bed sheet neatly folded back.

That would mean staging. Why ?
Actually I don't think that Madeleine went to bed on that night.

[pathfinder73]

I don't believe she went to bed either. Look at the state of the other bed Kate slept in the night before. Something may have happened from 6.30 to 7pm. Did Madeleine want to go to bed for an early night?

I bet Madeleine didn't like at all to be put in bed at the same time as the twins.

[pathfinder73]

Just what I thought. She was older so want to go to bed later.

It is the privilege of the oldest. At home she had half an hour bonus..

Yesterday, after the daily routine, MADELEINE and the twins were put to bed in their respective beds, and he stresses put to bed, at 7.30 pm.(GM 4 May)

Same bed time?
