DCI Redwood now admits Madeleine may not have left the apartment alive.

[jassi]

I can see why you want to avoid answering the question..because if maddie is alive...as SY and amarals lawyer accept is a possibility..then the dogs are wrong..

that is an undeniable fact

I'm not really that faffed about the dogs - I'm far more interested in SY's current position 

[icabodcrane]

lets keep it simple..if she is alive...what does that say about the dogs alerts

Unless  she is found alive it says nothing at all about the dog's alerts

That appears to be the postion that Scotland Yard have taken 

Unless Madeleine found alive,  or proven to have left the apartment alive,  then they must consider the possibility that the dog was correct in his alerts and that Madeleine may have died in the apartment

I think that is a reasonable position for the Yard to take

..............and of course if she died in the apartment, and it was nothing to do with an 'intruder' what then davel ?

What would be the conclusion then ?

[Mr Gray]

I'm not really that faffed about the dogs - I'm far more interested in SY's current position 

I am quite happy that SY current position does not incriminate the aprents

  So maddie MAY have died in the apartment  yes.....but nothing is certain

[Mr Gray]

While I'm pleased for you,I'm far more interested in where all this might lead to. I would like the culprit(s) brought to justice, irrespective of whoever it might be.

So would I , that's why its important that SY are allowed to complete their investigation

[jassi]

So would I , that's why its important that SY are allowed to complete their investigation

Just as long as it isn't a McCann ? - yes?

Yes, I agree with that totally. Although I'm less concerned about the risk the perpetrator may have to other children, since there has been no crime with the same MO in 7 years, I still feel that justice should be served.

No ones stopping them.

[stephen25000]

Just as long as it isn't a McCann ? - yes?

Yup.

[icabodcrane]

  So maddie MAY have died in the apartment  yes.....but nothing is certain

Without corroborating evidence either way Scotland Yard must keep an open mind regarding the cadaver dog intelligence 

That is what they are doing when they allow for both possibilites  (  Madeleine alive ... or,  Madeleine dead in the apartment  ) 

They have not dismissed the cadaver dog's alerts  ...   they can't  unless,  and until  evidence emerges that supports one conclusion or the other

[Mr Gray]

Just as long as it isn't a McCann ? - yes?

not at all , wherever it leads

If SY accept the cadaver dogs evidence...there is only one option...surely...maddie died in the appt

[jassi]

If SY accept the cadaver dogs evidence...there is only one option...surely...maddie died in the appt

Perhaps they don't want to commit that far - yet

[Mr Gray]

Perhaps they don't want to commit that far - yet
