From Martin Grimes statement, YET AGAIN.
'What we should understand with this dog is that he only barks when he finds something, he won't bark at any other times. He won't bark at other dogs, he won't bark at strangers, he won't bark when somebody knocks on the door or anything like that. The only times I've ever known him bark since I've got him as a small puppy a) for his dinner and that's just excitement and that's one of the training methods we use to teach to bark when we want him to and when he actually finds something, he won't bark at other dogs, he won't bark at strangers, he won't bark when somebody knocks on the door or something like that, so again I would say that's a positive indication.'
'My professional opinion as regards to the EVRD's alert indications is that it is
suggestive that this is 'cadaver scent' contaminant. This does not however
suggest a motive or suspect as cross contamination could be as a result of a
number of given scenarios and in any event no evidential or intelligence
reliability can be made from these alerts unless they can be confirmed with
corroborating evidence.'
YET THE DOGS ONLY MADE ALERTS IN REPSECT OF MATERIAL OR PLACES THE MCCANN'S HAD BEEN.
As Keela was not deployed in any of the other apartments, no-one can say for sure that she would not have alerted in one or more of them if she had been sent in.

The notion that innocence prevails over guilt – when there is no evidence to the contrary – is what separates civilization from barbarism. Unfortunately, there are remains of barbarism among us. Until very recently, it headed the PJ in Portimão. I hope he was the last one.
