DCI Redwood now admits Madeleine may not have left the apartment alive.

[Mr Gray]

A known death in the apartment would give more validity to the alert.
If a possible death is conceded, what is the problem with the alert being likely to be correct?

so the alert is more valid with a known death...so it does not stand alone...what an admission

I thought all agreed that in the absence of other evidence, alerts were merely an indication of death.
The dogs probably are correct, but without supportive evidence, this cannot be proved absolutely.

So, perhaps, SY have some additional evidence, that we are not aware of.

When you look at the constraints placed on issuing ILORs I would say that is an odds on racing cert.

They must have something, else Redwood would not have mentioned the possibility of Madeleine having died in the apartment.

Scotland Yard appear to know who the sexual predator is.  Perhaps they have some indications of a necessary concern gained from that information.

They admitted that they had nothing to link with Madeleine and were merely looking to exclude.

Until they catch the predator they won't know that for certain.  And possibly not even then.

I thought he was now known to be dead.

You need Arnie to do that.

Montiero died in 2009.  The predator was still operating in at least 2010.

This thread has now been edited, please keep all posts relative to title ... TY.

A couple of points which I must highlight.  Eddie's alerts in the apartment and the hire car could have been to many substances other than that related to a cadaver.  Martin Grime admitted this.

Can you link to where he says this?
