Were the dog alerts in any way significant?

Dislike who? I don't dislike the English  You were the one who said they were nailing the McCanns with their dogs.

In order to determine whether there was any handler bias, it would be extremely helpful to know who paid for Martin Grime & his dogs to go to Portugal.

Some people don't recognise irony. Bless.

The world was watching so the English sent their best dogs to find the missing English child.

I never said that PFinder

You are putting words in my mouth.




But one thing is certain.  Those dogs found NOTHING, ZILCH, NADA to accuse the Mccanns with, let alone convict them.

It is pointless keep going on about them.

That doesn't answer the question of who paid for them. Was it the Portuguese police, the Home Office, The Fund or who?

Are you suggesting that Martin Grimes would create false alerts to please whoever paid him?

I don't think he would deliberately, but there might be subconscious pulls at him

Like he kept tapping the car.


He wanted to please... and maybe he believed Amarals theory.

Mark Harrison suggested to the PJ to bring in these dogs in July 2007. no one knows  if the Uk or Portuguese police paid for them, logic states it probably was the Portuguese police, it certainly  will never have been the "fund"


Bias? Are you mad?

As I said, it would be helpful to know who paid for what was effectively a private investigation team.

I have two FOI answers that, between them, confirm that ...

No.

Eleanor is right ...

You have no such thing so Im wondering why you state this lie.Please post the reply to your request that says Mr. grime never went to the usa with his dogs...surprised (not) you didnt add it to your post

Well it certainly was NOT Mr Grime personally as some would have you believe as at the time he was working for the polce, and he has stated as much in his sworn statements, its all in the files

The Portuguese probably paid to bring them over.  Eddie's first alert in this case was at the wardrobe it had nothing to do with MG and Keela didn't alert to blood. The second alert inside the apartment from Eddie was behind the sofa and Keela did alert to blood. But after the first "no blood" alert they would be looking at that second alert spot where possibly death occurred.

More to the point, who was paid for the dog's searches.  Martin Grime or The Yorkshire Police?

Did you not read the posts previous? The dogs were sent to Portugal by the Yorkshire police on the recommendation of Mark Harrison. Mr Grime at the time worked for Yorkshire police as the dog handler. Why would HE get paid personally? He was on a salary at the time.  End of.
