If Maddie may still be alive...what did the dog's alert to.

[stephen25000]

how would you explain the open window if the mccanns are not inolved

There has been no independent verification of an open window before 10 pm.

As Stephen has pointed out, there is NO PROOF that there ever was an open shutter or window.

eta  We only have Kate McCanns word for it.  A former suspect who refers to police as Tweedle Dee, Tweedle Dum and f..k1ng Tossers.  Credibility is not her strong point imo.

I said if the mccanns are not involved.....abduction is a near certainty....if they are not involved they are not lying and the window was opened

Fair enough but is it not a coincidence that only McCann related clothing and areas were the subject of these alerts?

It is not coincidence that the same clothing Eddie could find no trace of a scent of in the villa, he, apparently could (after it had been incompetently transferred in bog-standard cardboard boxes), in the gym.

It is not coincidence that the only vehicle of interest (in a nominal line-up of 10) was the one with the findMadeleine stickers plastered over the back window.

It is not coincidence that alerts were (eventually) forthcoming in apartment 5a after an inordinate length of time had been spent in that apartment; with all other apartments taking in whistle-stop tours.

I don't directly blame Grime for Amaral's book.

But I neither think there's too much doubt that, but for Grime; or, if Grime had handled his dogs competently, Amaral's book would never have been written.

Grime did his job, the one he was paid to do.

He had no axe to grind.

YOU DO.

What are you laughing about ferryman ?

You 'support' the mccanns at every point, and therefore attack Grime.

Not hard to see why you do it.

so...IF Maddie is still alive...what triggered the alerts...were they false positives

[Angelo222]

Right, ENOUGH!! I have deleted dozens of disruptive posts this morning but will be awarding points if this continues.

The answer is that they could have alerted to various things including cadaverine.  The dogs were in an alien environment in Portugal where extreme heat could have had an effect on everyday substances leading the dogs to get confused.  Bringing dogs from cold and wet England was a mistake, they were out of their comfort zone imo.

thank you angelo...a perfectly valid answer

[stephen25000]

Extreme heat ?

What extreme heat was that ?

The dogs are trained in a variety of situations and environments, and their sense of smell is extremely acute.
