Interesting reading.  Will await the next steps from Cider Andy and the team.

Yes I wonder who these are?

Portuguese equivalents made several arrests (arguidos) including a freelance journalist and their former partner. Both were detained 28th June while accusations of perverting the course of justice are investigated.  8-)(--)

Cider Andy, that tickled me

Wasn't it that coupled who were arrested because they tried to extort money from the Mccann's?

I feel certain it was in the papers a week or two ago.

This is disinformation, i.e intoxication and I'm amazed it is tolerated on this forum.

Doesn't seem like it. Several arrests. Neither of these 2 arrested were Freelance journo's.

Remember this entry, when he quoted someone from AP?

https://ordinisrubricrucis.wordpress.com/2013/05/08/the-flighty-waiter-and-amaral-disinformation-techniques

“There were quite a few local journalists who claimed to have insider information on the investigation and even one who claimed that the investigating team in an attempt to get around the Portuguese secrecy laws were deliberately passing on information to Portuguese editors and researchers. I recall one very big Portuguese freelance journalist who was always around in a particular restaurant offering stories and titbits on the investigation. It seemed to be his wife/girlfriend and him operation, both were huge so it was no surprise you could always find them in the restaurant. I believe he was giving out the insider investigation information and she was attempting to get business from translating for the UK journalists. I never had any dealings with either of them. Word got around that his wife’s translations were not accurate and his information by the end of 2009  was fraudulent as I expect his insider sources were. He later got in touch trying to sell pictures related to the McCann investigation but these never existed. I heard his wife or girlfriend left him because of the fraud and his lies.

Whilst i do not think either Amaral or Martin Grime are Gods to be worshipped as some do, i often wonder, if Mr Grime and his dogs were as discredited as some claim, how he still managed to get high profile work including (and i believe) currently for the FBI.

If he was a busted flush would he still be getting these gigs?

The dogs are a good tool, but without corroborating forensics they have no value.  A couple of questions: Was there not other evidence against Lane, including a testimony from the victim's young sister who had witnessed Lane being violent to her?

[Rachel Granada]

Anyway, back on topic.  What about these two people - the journalist and his partner?  Could be some interesting developments!

Genuine question time again.....

What do you think the dogs alerted to in the McCann case?

OK (then back on topic!)

Well we did have some blood (of Lino Henriques), nothing found that related to Madeleine's profile.  I understand that Eddie did alert around the wardrobe area, this could indeed have been cadaverine.  However it could have come from many sources - scent drift, etc.  I think we also have to understand clearly the relevance of the fact that 5a was rented out no fewer than four times before the dogs arrived. What Eddie alerted to could have been down to any former or later residents of 5a.  It could have been semen.

So as you can see, it is most definitely NOT a case of "Eddie barks = must be cadaverine".  It is not an exact science, and without corroborating forensics is of no evidential value.

Mr Grime says Eddie didn't react to cadaverine, which is a synthetic combination of a few of the hundreds of components of human decay scent.

I think the dogs have been done to death, Anne!

I don't think you need photo's to guess who, do you Rachel?

Now who could this be?  >@@(*&)

A former lead Portuguese investigator in the McCann case has been requested by appointment to answer further questions by Grange aligned detectives.

Not surprising. Not many people have as in depth a knowledge of the case as Amaral.
