Keela also alerted in the boot where in many other missing person cases a body has been. If you think investigators ignore boot alerts in missing person cases then you are seriously deluded.
Was anything of any forensic import found anywhere in the hire car? No-one seems particularly sure, particularly the Portuguese investigators tasked with collecting the evidence.
There was absolutely no blood found inside the car ... and what Keela pointed at in the boot area appears shrouded in mystery.
I think there is an inherent dishonesty in promoting videos of the dogs allegedly alerting to a vehicle which contained absolutely no trace of Madeleine apart from shared characteristics with her parents and siblings. Not forgetting the key fob contaminated with cellular material definitely not Madeleine's.
SnipThe Renault Scenic vehicle ? number plate 59-DA-27 was removed to the third floor of the underground car park and was subjected to a forensic search by officers from the Scientific Police Laboratory and another sniffer dog inspection that began at 03.49 on 7th August by the dog KEELA, which detected human blood remains, the following results were noted:
03.53 ? the dog ?marked? a zone on the right inferior side of the inside of the luggage compartment of the vehicle;
SnipFinally, a minutely detailed search was made for eventual blood vestiges and any other biological vestiges in the interior of the vehicle.
From the observations made inside the vehicle several areas were detected containing stains that appeared to be of haematic origin, they were subjected to tests looking for peroxide existing in blood using the Kastle-Mayer test,
all of them reacted negatively.A general search was also made looking for blood vestiges from more expectable parts of the interior of the vehicle (the jack, accelerator pedal, hand break, door handles, car key, vehicles controls etc) which underwent the same test looking for peroxide by the Kastle-Mayer test,
all reacted negatively.
No blood or biological vestiges were found in this test.SnipAfter the examination of the vehicle was complete the human blood specialist sniffer dog was introduced along with Martin Grime of the British police who coordinated the dog?s movements. After a few moments Mr Grime informed the team that they should collect the key and other materials from zone M or from the interior of the luggage compartment given the fact that the dog in reference had identified these materials as places where eventual blood vestiges existed. The undersigned gathered these materials placing them in paper envelopes with the following references:
10. Parts of the vehicle luggage area.
12. Vehicle ignition key.
