Grime said it doesn't necessarily mean the scent source was inside the wardrobe (he said cupboard in the footage). You need to corroborate with other evidence. Grime has no doubts about his dogs alerts.
Where did I mention wardrobe?
That was just a myth as illustrated by Dr Amaral when he pointed out the
shelf in the wardrobe Eddie had alerted to in his documentary so it became common currency that was where Madeleine had been hidden.
Eddie alerted in the corner … not the wardrobe.
If you read what Martin Grime says very carefully he asserts the alert was triggered by the build up of scent in that corner emanating from a physical source.
“If there isn't a
scent source in here, i.e.
a physical article where the scent is emitting from, any scent residue will collect in a particular place due to the air movement of the flat, the apartment and what I would say in this case is that there is enough scent in that area there for him to give me a bark indication but the
source may not be in that cupboard,
the source may well be in this room somewhere else but the air is actually pushing into that corner.”
Martin Grime mentions a
source enabling the accumulation of a scent ... so where is that source?
That is certainly in line with what I have said about cadaver dogs alerting some distance from the cadaver.
In other words they scented the body or parts of a body some distance from the location.
Human decomposition = scent, which may or may not be discernible to the human nose = dog alert = finding source of alert even if some distance away = evidence.
Using that example … a valid one according to what Martin Grime has stated … to what did Eddie alert because for sure it wasn’t human detritus or anything which is evidential.
