It has taken fifteen years ~ is Madeleine's case close to being solved?

[Mr Gray]

So you decided to ask a question which you aren't prepared to answer? If CB isn't the culprit then criticising the first investigation (again and again and again) isn't yet justified.

I also criticise Grime for taking around 12 years to clarify that Eddie did not have a 100% record...and was not a reliable cadaver dog..why did he wait 12 years...an absolute disgrace

Cant believe people still think they were in 200 or 300 cases.

Everything can be misconstrued if it suits people to do so.  Rather a silly waste of time in the long run, but still it goes on.

By the time Grime admitted these errors he was about to retire so it didn't matter to him anymore.

In real terms once the testing was complete and information delivered from the Birmingham laboratory to Portugal and properly understood, that was it as far as the police investigation was concerned.  Time to follow other angles.

The general misunderstanding arises from the ensuing propaganda war fuelled by Amaral's book, Amaral's 'documentary', Amaral's incursions into the television studious pushing his and Cristovao's version of events and last but not least Levy's internet release of video recordings of Eddie barking his head off at the 'scent of death'.

I think all of that took nearly ten years to overcome and most definitely prolonged investigation into Madeleine's case; and now over fifteen years later hindsight, that perfect science, is indicating the real investigative errors made which stood between allowing a perpetrator to hide in full view and solving Madeleine's case.

Cases.  I've given this much thought, although nobody would notice.
Cases? Call outs? Jobs? Demos? What's the definition? Practices? Drills? Training? Tasks? Instances that garnered reward? Instances that didn't garner reward? Leaping out of the van?
Cases?
.........dogs, yeh.
Repitition and training to an intense level to ensure efficacy and adherence to standards.
