Eddie alerts to blood. There was blood on the key fob. In 5a Eddie alerted but Keela didn’t so it couldn’t have been to blood but cadaver scent.

It is still cadaver scent even if the person the tissue comes from is still alive.  Imagine if a person lost his arm in an accident, and makes his way to hospital.  The people never recover his arm, but he survives.
Years later dogs on a cadaver dog training exercise find a years old bones from a human victim.
Wouldn't the dog trainers immediately think the person had died?

I wouldn't.

Keela alerts to blood. Eddie alerts to blood and cadaver scent. If Eddie alerts and Keela doesn’t then that is suggestive that Eddie is alerting to cadaver scent. I really can’t make it any simpler.

no you couldnt...it would be suggestive but would not confirm anything

I wouldn't.
Do you want to take a bet on that?

Ah right, forgot you were a mod.

Isn't it goading - not a very nice example for a mod

You are missing the point I am trying to make.

Keela alerts to blood.   Eddie alerts to blood.

Keela alerts to blood that is present, on an object even if it has been cleaned.

Eddie will alert to blood that is present,  but as a cadaver dog will also alert to blood that has been on something such as clothing which was once in the area of alert but which has been removed.

Another problem is three families stayed in 5a after the McCann's.

I’m sorry Lace but Eddie does not alert to blood that has been removed.

You know this how?

I shall post this clip again -

Unfortunately, in such a situation the trier of fact may easily be misled as to both the accuracy and precision of the dog's actions: Accuracy in the sense that the dog (depending upon its level of training) may be reacting to something other than residual scent from decomposed human tissue; precision in that the dog may be reacting correctly to the scent of decomposed human tissue, but imprecise in the sense that the dog is not differentiating between whose decomposed human tissue is giving the scent. Further, there may be legitimate reasons for the scent being there: someone may have been injured and left bloody clothing there, someone may have left a used sanitary napkin, etc. Our research demonstrates that residual scent from decomposed human tissue persists in a closed building for many months at levels sufficient to cause a trained dog to alert.

When it comes to Opinions, I am no better or worse than anyone else.  I try to keep the two things separate, but this is difficult.  Although, please God I manage.

Quite probably, Moderators should not express opinions.  But where do you think you will find a person who will have the time and the patience to do this.

At the moment we have two Sceptic Mods and two Supporter Mods.  What more do you want?
