Gerry and Kate's reaction to sniffer dogs didnt make sense new ninemsn article

[Mr Gray]

You're no expert.

Why should anyone take notice of you.


...and before you say it, I don't pretend to have expertise in that field, but I have my opinion, as posters on here do as well.

i dont claim to be an expert and that is why i quote the opinions of grime and Harrison and dictionary definitions of words. Im not posting opinion...just facts

[Mr Gray]

Just how unlucky are the McCanns?

First their beautiful daughter is abducted in freakishly improbable circumstances and then two trained cadaver/blood sniffer dogs both independently alert both in their apartment and in a garage where their hire car is placed amongst 10 vehicles!

Even sceptics of sniffer dogs agree they have a high degree of accuracy but stress they are not infallible. Even if the dogs are "notoriously inaccurate" as Gerry would have us believe; how unlucky is it that both trained dogs could have alerted wrongly .... twice! 4 out of 4 wrong!

The McCanns must be the unluckiest people on earth.

I dont accept the alerts have a high degree of accuracy...

Tim, You obviously haven't studdied what the alerts mean when both dogs alert



When BOTH DOGS ALERT, it means that there is, nor ever was, a dead body


BOTH DOGS ALERT = Dessicated BLOOD FROM A LIVING PERSON, maybe 20 years ago

both dogs alert could be cadaver........or not...or maybe...or cuing...or dog tired and wanting to please its owner having been repeatedly brought back to a spot

[Mr Gray]

They are opinions.

they are opinions of experts in the case of grime and harrison...that is the fact....taken from their verbatim statements

Eddie was not tired in 5A.   

[Mr Gray]

Eddie was not tired in 5A.   

how do you know...quite possibly tired and hot

it doesnt detract from the fact that the alerts are not reliable as evidence

I think they were very unlucky to have their daughter disappear while on holiday.  I think that run of luck was compounded for Madeleine by the subsequent, well documented, mismanagement of her case.

Eddie was keen and eager.  As per the video.

I always thought Eddie was rather cool.   

[Mr Gray]

doesnt mean he wasnt tired and hot

[G-Unit]

doesnt mean he wasnt tired and hot

I'm sure his handler was careful to make sure that his dog was well-rested and happy; he had spent years training and handling dogs.

whatever...it does no affect the validity of the alerts.....or should I say non validity

[G-Unit]

What was the point of suggesting that the dog might have been tired and hot then?

[ShiningInLuz]

doesnt mean he wasnt tired and hot

So the video shows keen and eager.

While you want tired and hot.

Before you progress, this is a classic on the scale of a non-existent Megane.

Give it a rest.  Winding me up will not cut the mustard.
