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

[John]

There are a few more sequences pointed out here:

I can't do an accurate frame-by-frame freeze. If anyone else can, once Eddie knocks over the bin the CC on it, and loses interest, the camera's view seems to be blocked by the armchair, then CC appears in the middle of the living-room floor.

Out of curiosity, was this continuous filming, or was there a cut between CC being knocked over and then reappearing in the middle of the floor?

No, it is continuous, Eddie dragged it to the middle of the floor after dislodging it from the container.

I wondered because the armchair seems to obscure what exactly happened. If it's continuous, then it must have been the dog.

Is he next installment the truth about Eddies false alert in the parents bedroom? cant wait.

This toy was found near the blanket and the blanket didn't smell death.

The next sequence from 02.17 finds us back in the bedroom again and with attention yet again being drawn towards the bedside wardrobe.   Grime opens the door of the wardrobe to let Eddie in and some 20 seconds later out he comes without making any response.  Grime puts a pink towel back in which Eddie had displaced.




From 03.50 Eddie then goes into the lounge area again and starts barking in front of a sideboard after sniffing what was on top of it.




Grime then summons the dog back into the bedroom again and the bedside wardrobe.  Again, Eddie shows no interest and leaves before being called back yet again.

Again the dog wanders off and is called back for what must be the umpteenth time.  Again no response.

From 05.30 Grime then takes the dog back to the lounge and sits him down.  He goes to the sideboard at which the dog had earlier reacted by barking and opens it to find Cuddle Cat on the lower shelf.



Grime hold Cuddle cat up for the camera as if it was some sort of trophy.

But even in the dining area sequence, it's not at all clear to me that he reacted to CC. He barked after sniffing something on the top of the buffet and woofed in the far corner.

I didnt realise the blanket was sniffed

Are you saying the pink thing shoved back in the wardrobe by mr grime was the blanket?

The blanket was sniffed by Numi and then disappeared.

Sorry youve lost me Anne, Numi wasnt a cadaver dog..

I never understood this sequence but chose to believe Mr Grime, the expert. Either this, since we're laymen, or imagine ridiculous conspiracies where Mr Harrison cheats the PJ etc.

Precisely, Redblossom, Numi would only follow the scent of an alive person. And it did.

[ferryman]

Numi was one of the Portuguese sniffer dogs?

I'm not into conspiracy theories either, Anne.

But there is nothing in that sequence that seems to indicate that the dog actually reacted to CC. The PJ analysis people couldn't work it out either.

[Carana]

If I was a sceptic i would be saying that Cuddle cat was planted and had nothig whatsoever to do with eddie alerting at the cupboard.   

Well unless Eddie hid it in the buffet before running off, then presumably a human did. But he didn't react to that area of the buffet cupboard.

Most odd.

I agree, Carana, I'm curious about Mr Grime's answer to this. It seems there was no blood on the toy.
All I can imagine is that the toy was contaminated after the disappearance since the blanket had no scent of death : the pants ? which can really have been contaminated in the hospital) and that the eventual molecules are easier to pick up in a closed space.

Contaminated? Eddie doesn't seem to have reacted to it.

Didn't Eddie alert on pants ?
