There's a video here rejecting the cadaver dog evidence. https://youtu.be/VHZ1YDTc7sA
Yeah, watched it last night, it's always interesting to hear about another person's point of view, having said that in this case, however, the narrator appears to have got his facts wrong about both dogs being blood hounds, either that or I have not studied the true facts as in-depth as I thought that I had - in my understanding of the two dogs belonging to Grimes, one(Eddie) is a Cadaver dog, and the other (Keela) is the blood hound. From what I know the two Springer spaniels were never sent to search inside apartment 5a, at the same time. Neither did they both examine the Renault Scenic Hire Car together, and my understanding is that Grimes only used Eddie at the McCann villa, and on that occasion the McCanns had been prewarned that there was going to be a forensic search of the villa that day, and they left clothing in piles all over the place, which were subsequently placed into cardboard boxes, one box for each pile of clothing - the cardboard boxes that were used to transport the various piles of clothing had been checked beforehand to ensure there was no risk of accidental cross contamination related to any subsequent findings upon or to with any item taken...
I did not agree with several of the explanations given by the narrator of the video, he was too dismissive of everything and anything, continuosly relying upon the same statement which he repeated over and over again!
Let's take the work done by Eddie the Cadaver dog inside apartment 5a - no-one is claiming that this dog can tell the difference between the cadaveric scent of one dead person, or another, in specific terms. All Eddie did was detect a number of Cadaveric traces which gives an indication that there is, or there has been a dead human body at the place where Eddie signalled, or an item which came into contact with a recently deceased Cadaver! By the time Eddie conducted his routine at apartment 5a, the McCanns were no longer staying there, and so there was no possibility at that time, on that occasion, of Eddie being able to positively reacted to items of clothing containing the Cadaveric scent! The clothing belonging to Gerry McCann, Kate Healey and Sean McCann were positively reacted to much later, by Eddie, after these items of clothing had been removed from the villa which the McCanns were staying in later on...
I will deal with the Renault Scenic Hire Car in a moment..
But I would like to return to the work done by Eddie the Cadaver dog inside, and outside apartment 5a, where Eddie reacted positively to three key locations (1) on the floor in-between the bed and the cupboard in the parents bedroom, (2) not on the sofa in the living room, but on the floor immediately behind it, and (3) in the shrubs and bushes directly beneath the patio, on the poolside of the apartment..
It is possible, that Madeleine McCann died outside apartment 5a, not inside it..
Rather than believe 100% that she had died in the apartment, by some freak accident and that the parents concealed her body in their bedroom, on the floor between their bed and the wardrobe, and again on the floor, behind the sofa in the living room, I am much more inclined to believe that, either clothing which was being worn at the time of Madeleine McCanns demise, either worn by Madeleine herself, or clothing belonging to one or other of her parents, or both, and clothing which belonged to Sean, had been subsequently placed in these, those locations post any accident, or mishap! Alternatively, 'if' the parents are responsible for concealing Madeleine's body, it might be the case, that any bag containing the Cadaveric remains of Madeleine's passing over, soaked onto the floor in-between the bed and the wardrobe in the parents bedroom, and soaked into the floor behind the sofa in the living room of apartment 5a. It was never possible for Eddie the Caveric canine to be able prove that it was Madeleine McCanns dead body which had been there on that part of the parents bedroom floor, in-between their bed and the wardrobe, in the same way it could never be proven that Madeleine's remains had been behind the sofa, based solely upon any positive reaction given by Eddie. Nobody is claiming that / this as far as I know, since we have all been made fully aware that where Eddie has given a positive reaction, it has to be treated as an indicator! Independent coroberative evidence is always required in order to sustain a firm belief that a body was there, and that the body was that of this person, man, woman or child, or not!
But, by the same token, it appears to me in the circumstances of this case, that there exists an array of indicators to satisfy the curiosity of the police to the fact that these two locations inside apartment 5a which Eddie the Cadaver dog reacted positively is sufficient enough to allow the police to think along the lines, that a missing persons body could have been temporarily concealed as part of the disposal stage in any act involving that person's suspected death!
