What is interesting about this development is that the German authorities have no agenda or any pre-conceived notions on the case. Contrary to the Portugese police that do, and lost their credibility on the case not long after this saga began.
My understanding is that prior to the case becoming 'political', the UK police were with the Portuguese police.
Was it not a collaboration between Portuguese and UK police who brought the dogs in? The handler was British I believe.
It's being said that the Germans have evidence that Maddie died. If this is not from an alleged disclosure (i.e. hearsay) then is it possible that the suspect has been bugged?
The hotel complex confirmed nobody had died in that apartment before.
A dog specifically trained to be able to detect minute traces of human blood, alerted in the apartment.
A dog specifically trained to be able to detect human cadaver odour, even after a cadaver has been moved, alerted in the apartment.
Both dogs alerted separately to each another.
In one area within the apartment, both dogs alerted in the
same place.
The McCann's story is that their daughter must have been abducted. Why then, where they not shocked that the dogs had alerted in this manner, suggesting that Maddie was already dead, prior to being abducted?
Parents would face a grim reality here: Daughter missing,
presumed dead, from the very start - i.e. daughter's corpse taken in order to prevent trace evidence of suspected killer (who killed her in the apartment).
Imagine if the McCann's were not under suspicion. The dogs come in, they do their exploration etc. The result is exactly the same. What would the McCann's do in those circs?
