Are Victim Detection and Forensic Evidence Search Dogs reliable?

I'm not sure that's particularly significant. What will be significant is if they find something.

Well of course, but in order to do that, they have to be deployed.
It's not that long ago that some on here were doubting that these dogs would be deployed.
The fact that they are indicates that police are searching for what these dogs detect. Whether they find it is another matter.

A member posted that s/he was certain that if victim recovery dogs were to be deployed, each dog would have its own handler.  That seems to have been an accurate statement.
Apologies, I remember the post but not who the poster is.

All the press focus is on the dig site. Who knows where Redwood is & what is going on elsewhere?
Maybe Grime is at OC with a dog!

[jassi]

According to the Mail, who have a photo, Redwood is on site and advising the searchers.

So is it a big deal?
Why are people so concerned with trivia?
The significant thing is that the dogs are there and doing their stuff.

You may not care that their are people making spurious claims on this forum, but some people do, ok?

What spurious claims are we talking about?  Does it actually change anything?

Claims that Grime is involved in searching PdL with his dogs.  Of course it changes nothing, but mischievous posts designed to plant misinformation on a forum wishing to take itself seriously is not particularly desirable, I'm sure you'd agree.

Probably just made to wind up certain people who are as obsessed with Grime as they are with Amaral.

Here you go Alfred, as requested.

Quick question Alfred. Do you believe that Madeleine not leaving the apartment alive and cadaver dog Edfie alerting in the same apartment are mutually exclusive events ?

According to grime they may or may not be...and he is the expert...do you think grime is right

Who knows?  I don't.

So you are open to the suggestion that the two are linked ?

It's a possibility I guess.  We shall just have to see shan't we?

Thank you for your answer Alfred. So if you are open to the possibility that the cadaver dogs alert and SY announcement that Madeleine may well be dead you must also be open, because of the time that needs to elapse before cadaver odour is at a detectable level, to the McCann's involvement in their daughter's disappearance.

  No, I don't think that's very likely but of course it's possible - anything's possible.  Like it's possible that Madeleine was murdered by a man who had killed before or who had an unhealthy interest in dead bodies and who contaminated the apartment with the smell of death.
