Did Eddie and Keela work as a team prior to the Madeleine McCann case?

What a lovely question to consider just prior to dinner, thanks.  As adults and children are made up of the same stuff, I'm not sure why they would decompose at a different rate, but by all means bring us any scientific evidence you have to support your contention.

Probably nobody would be talking about, or have any wish to talk about it. But Laurel and Hardy keep starting threads to talk about the dogs and have yet another pop at Mr Grime. Hence people are talking about it.

I just looked up the article about the head found in America,   Nancy Grace interviewed the forensic scientist and asked him when a body would give off Cadaver scent and he didn't say four hours,  sorry,  he said 12 hours to 24 hours!!!!    http://edition.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/1201/18/ng.01.html

By Laurel and Hardy do you mean two members of this forum?  How rude.

Yeah, but come on, what does he know for god's sake - he's not a Dogspert!!!

DR. BILL MANION, MEDICAL EXAMINER/FORENSIC PATHOLOGIST (via telephone): Well, within -- depending on there temperature there at the scene, within 12 hours, 24 hours, you should be -- begin producing cadaverine and putrescine. And these chemicals are very volatile. They can get through plastic. Even if the -- if these body parts are wrapped in plastic, they`ll get through it. And the dogs have just, you know, a thousand times the sensitivity of humans for these chemicals, and they`re trained to hit on it. So I -- if there`s anything out there, I think the dogs will be able to find it.

Funny isn't it,   when people have a 'pop' at the McCann's that's fine isn't it.

I believe rigor mortis develops at a different rate in adults and children therefore I suppose the same could in theory happen with cadaver scent.

Well funnily enough, what are these threads all about ?

I've noticed a tendency for some people to copy and paste material they don't understand.

I expect Alice will know, and I'm sure he'll find it's highly likely that you're right.

[Alice Purjorick]

Yes,  I believe that to be about right.

I remember reading when a head was found in a park in America [by someone out walking their dog,  not a cadaver dog by the way]    the forensic scientist on the scene was asked when a dog would pick up the scent of cadaver and he said after about four hours.

This forensic scientist I may add was the one involved in the Casey Anthony trial.
