Has Martin Smith Changed his Opinion ?

[Brietta]

Grime himself acknowledges that handler-bias can influence a dog's reactions, and I know Alfred has found a study (nothing to do with Grime) where precisely that phenomenon accounted for all a dog's reactions.

Handler-bias: the findMadeleine stickers on the back of the Renault Scenic.

The disproportionate time spent in apartment 5a compared with any other apartment.

The re-examination of clothing (in the gym) present during the inspection in the villa, but not evincing any interest from Eddie.

The interest in the toy, only after it had been hidden, not while he could see it, sniff it and play with it.

Thomas Quick: the Swedish serial killer who never was
It reads like a real-life Scandinavian crime novel. In the 1990s, Thomas Quick confessed to more than 30 murders, making him Sweden's most notorious serial killer. Then, he changed his name and revealed his confessions were all faked

**Snip
Even the same sniffer dog, Zampo, was used to trawl each "murder" site.

"During the course of the investigation, Quick mentioned at least 24 different places in Sweden and Norway where he had committed murders, handled dead bodies or left body parts," says Leyla Belle Drake, who was Hannes Råstam's literary agent. "Zampo marked for human remains 45 times at those 24 locations.  ..."

I would imagine that the police know more about dog handling and how they work than you do. They use dogs for all sorts of reasons and treat them with respect. No matter how much you criticise the dogs and their handler you really have no idea what value the police place on their conclusions.

We know that SY believe Maddie may still be alive which confirms that they do not accept that the alerts signify maddies death

[Mr Gray]

I would say a fair description of the alerts are that they were inconclusive

BHH and other sources such as the FOI show this case to be a murder investigation.

The team [Redwood's] is also pursuing the line of inquiry that after five years Madeleine might be dead.

Given what (tragically) all too often happens to abducted children, it stands to reason that the second joint enquiry will be simultaneously pursuing the line of enquiry that Madeleine might be dead ....

can you narrow that down geographically a little?

He also said she may not have been alive when removed from the apartment. Now, IF the dogs figure into that line of thnking,  then it follows that his comment has zero to do with a burglary gone wrong simply for the timing element involved vis a vis cadaver scent formation

Lets face it, SY believe many things but have nothing to substantiate any of it.  They haven't even ruled out Tannerman and as for Smithman... pah

Its like searching for a needle in a haystack but someone has hidden the haystack.

you simply dismiss anything that doesn't fit your belief
