If that were the case, and if Eddie had reacted to anything in the boot, why wouldn't this have been recorded as video evidence? Or, more likely, spread all over the Internet at the speed of light? Wouldn't this have been a mega scoop?
Grime stated that he didn't intend to put Eddie in the car (the transcription somehow got mangled and stated the opposite). TdeA's report stated that Eddie was in the boot... but based on what?
Where else in the records does it state that Eddie went into that boot?
Cant find any of Eddie going in the boot

Vehicle nº 8 – Volkswagon Passat – number plate 57-12-HP
Vehicle nº 9 – Audi A4 – number plate 10-91-FP
Vehicle nº 10 –Renault Kangoo – number plate 07-50-UI
The inquiry began at the time indicated, the dog EDDY which detects cadaver odour, searched the whole of the floor of the underground car park where the cars were parked with the following result:
15.27 – the dog “marked” vehicle nº4 – Renault Scenic – number plate – 59-DA-27, the rental car currently used by Gerry and Kate McCann.
The Renault Scenic vehicle – number plate 59-DA-27 was removed to the third floor of the underground car park and was subjected to a forensic search by officers from the Scientific Police Laboratory and another sniffer dog inspection that began at 03.49 on 7th August by the dog KEELA, which detected human blood remains, the following results were noted:
03.53 – the dog “marked” a zone on the right inferior side of the inside of the luggage compartment of the vehicle;
04.11 – the dog “marked” the compartment on the driver’s side, which was seen to contain the vehicle’s key, of a plastic electronic card type, with a key ring from the Budget car rental agency.
With the aim of confirming whether the dog had effectively “marked” the vehicle’s key, which was inside the compartment on the driver’s side, at 04.13 the key in question was removed from the vehicle and hidden in a place far from the vehicle on the third floor of the underground car park.
At about 04.14 it was observed that the dog “marked” the area of a box containing sand from the Fire Service, underneath which, effectively, the vehicle’s key had been hidden.
At approximately 04.50 a new sniffer dog inspection was carried out using the dog EDDY which detects cadaver odour, using the vehicle key which for this purpose was hidden on the fourth floor of the underground car park, far away from the vehicle.
At about 04.51, it was observed that the dog “marked” the area of the box containing sand from the Fire Service, underneath which the key had been hidden.
