Kate McCann says she was crying hysterically when the Police questioned her about 100% DNA being found belonging to Madeleine, Kate McCann was fearing her child was dead. Then they showed her video of the dogs and she realised this was what they were basing their accusations on. Well if the McCann's knew they were innocent of any wrong doing in 5a, then why would they react in shock and horror at the video of the dogs? Kate McCann I believe was quite relieved when she saw the dog video and where the Police were getting their 'evidence' she knew that there was no evidence as nothing had happened to Madeleine in 5a, she had been abducted.
We have been here thousands of times before,Lace. Unfortunately as the old saying goes ... "None so deaf as those who will not hear."

EXPERTS say sniffer dogs can play a vital role in fighting crime ' but warn it is 'madness' to rely on their findings.
The animals are used to lead police to evidence, but do not provide evidence themselves.
One expert told The Sun: 'The dogs can identify traces of blood, but it's crazy to draw major conclusions just from what they find.
'Any evidence they find should be used as a starting point. It's madness just to rely on the findings of the sniffer dogs.'
Handler Martin Grimes, who worked with his dogs on the Maddie case, admitted the animals offered no more than 'a guide'.
He said: 'They can identify traces of blood and detect the smell of a decomposing body, but that is as far as they go.'
Martin said his dogs Keela and Eddie would only give him an indication when they find what they are trained to detect.
UnreliableHe said: 'Blood could be invisible to the naked eye, but Keela will detect it. It doesn't matter if it's hundreds of years old.
'Eddie smells for the scent of a decomposing human body. He can detect any part of a human body that is decomposing ' hair, bones, flesh, anything.
'The smell of a decomposing body is very difficult to get rid of. It can easily be transferred to clothing and on to a person.'
A spokesman for the McCanns said: 'Dog alerts can be unreliable. The handler himself makes it clear in the police report that such alerts are meaningless without corroborative evidence. There was no such evidence.
'Gerry and Kate are not interested in dwelling on mistakes that were made. They and their investigation team wish to focus entirely on finding Maddie.'
http://www.gerrymccannsblogs.co.uk/press/19-Sep8/SUN1_05_09_2008.htmIt was time to move on from the mistaken interpretation and reliance placed on whatever excited Eddie's excitable attention in the McCann apartment as soon as the forensic results entered the public domain.
Quote‘The dog EVRD also alerts to blood from a live human being or only from a cadaver’
The dog EVRD
is trained using whole and disintegrated material, blood, bone tissue, teeth, etc. and decomposed cross-contaminants. The dog will recognize all or parts of a human cadaver. He is not trained for ‘live’ human odours; no trained dog will recognize the smell of ‘fresh blood’.
They find, however, and give the alert for dried blood from a live human being. Martin GrimeQuoteOnce the alert has been given by the dog, it is up to the investigator/forensic scientist to locate, identify and scientifically provide the evidence of DNA, etc. Martin Grimehttp://www.mccannpjfiles.co.uk/PJ/MARTIN_GRIMES_RIGATORY.htmWhat is so difficult to understand about that?
