Why didn't the dogs alert to any of Gerry's clothing?

[Mr Gray]

Could you please refrain from making personal comments towards anyone who has a different opinion.

Mr Grime is on record as stating that there is "no evidential reliability" associated with the dog alerts.  In essence, this means that although the dogs were trained to alert to substances associated with deceased persons, there is no way of knowing for sure if that is what they alerted to in this case.  He went on to state that unless the alerts are backed up by independent forensic evidence, no conclusion can be drawn from them.

excellent post...confirming no conclusions can be drawn from the alerts...yet that is exactly what posters on here are doing

[Mr Gray]

Eddie's barking suggests there was. There is definitely no evidence that there wasn't.

suggests is a very vague word and as admin confirms no conclusions can be drawn from the alerts

Suggest means 'put forward for consideration', which is exactly what I meant to say. I have drawn no conclusions except that the alerts should be borne in mind in case other indications or evidences arise which point in the same direction.

None of the material gathered during an investigation is discarded until a particular line of inquiry emerges as the most likely explanation of what happened. The information we have at the moment doesn't point strongly in any particular direction in my opinion.

I believe what he meant was forensic evidence gathered from both objects and zones in which the alerts took place.

In actual fact the PJ are the ones that count. The disappearance happened in their country and they are the ones who would be most likely to bring any prosecutions. SY can only prosecute British citizens and can only prosecute them in certain cases.

The PJ are the lead-investigators in Madeleine's abduction because she was abducted on Portuguese soil.

If (as I hope, trust and believe) there is full cooperation between the PJ force still investigating Madeleine's abduction and the Scotland Yard team, then they will all be pulling in the same direction (to solve the abduction, bring Madeleine's abductor(s) to book and try to find Madeleine).

The Public Ministry issued a press release in October 2013 saying the investigation into Madeleine McCann's disappearance was being re-opened due to new evidentiary elements being identified by the PJ. The PJ said much the same. Neither of them mentioned abduction.

Where is the update on (retired) DCI Andy Redwood's statement that Madeleine was abducted from her bed in a criminal act by strangers?

If you can cite a direct quote I will answer it. Regardless, SY can say what they like, they're not in charge.

You need to brush up on your knowledge of due process (both in Portugal and England).
