"The Dogs, The dogs. It was the Dogs that made me do it."

When Tia was reported missing, Hazell told her family and police that he had seen her leaving his house to meet a friend.
Relatives, friends and neighbours carried out a huge search.
During the week-long hunt, Tia’s mother went to stay at Hazell’s house, unaware that her daughter’s body was hidden upstairs.
Hazell even made a TV appeal for Tia’s safe return and criticised those who suggested he had something to do with her disappearance.

Stuart Hazell's guilty plea comes after months of lies about Tia Sharp's final movements.

Later, a search dog was brought to the house in New Addington, south London, and indicated that there was something above one of the bedrooms, but the animal was too large to take into the loft.
On August 10 a detective noticed the smell of decomposition in the house, which Ms Bicknell mistakenly thought was cat faeces.
Another dog also indicated that something might be in the loft of the house and Tia’s body was then found.

In the wake of Tia’s death, Scotland Yard apologised to her family that it had taken so long to find her.

There often is.
Prout had one, which fell apart after he confessed
And the pro-child-murderers, and pro-child-neglectors elsewhere still insist Cipriano is not guilty, and they really don't like the dogs, Mr Mainwaring
Just A Thought, yer 'no, err, umm.

But perhaps this time even they could see through his denials, and through his crocodile tears and public pleas for help; could see through the cande-lit "vigils' to "guide her home", and through his pretence at searching - if he did; and above all, and most importantly they can see right through his criticising of people who suggested he might have been involved.
I wonder why in this case but not in others ?

Perhaps because they realise that he fitted the most important slot in any investigation.
He was the last person to see her alive.

Isn't it likely that at the time of the first alert, the body was in fact in the neighbours' loft? That it was moved back because the danger was over and the dog had been and nothing had been found? That if the weather had been cold, this could have gone on for ages?
Wasn't the neighbour also charged as was the grandmother?

It's my belief that the grandmother knew as from the Saturday when Hazell had no option but to tell her. By then the press was camped outside.
Is it too far fetched to believe that she or both may have thought they could ride it out, perhaps even a website? A Fund? Sort the body as and when?

A policemans' lot is not a happy one...

OMG !
Denied knowledge.
Same pattern.....it's the most common perpetrator trait.
Criticised people who suggested he might be involved.
And, if you're sitting on a pile of other people's money, you also sue to destroy individuals who dared suggest you might be involved.
Months of lies.
Years of lies...and deceit, engaging everyone from the public to the government in the search...
and then . .
Not DOGS again. Everyone knows they are notoriously unreliable, Gerry told the world this important fact, so why did the police bother searching the attic yet again ? ? ?! ! !
As we posted a long time ago, the missed second search was NOT canine error, as some tried at the time to argue. (Dog alerted, human searched, no body found)
It was Human error, in failing to believe the dogs, and then failing to do a really thorough search based on what the dogs had "Said, Sandra." until the body was found.
Humans give up. Dogs don't.

Don't mention dogs or Gerry will go into hizzy fit...

Would you get on a a plane in which an explosives dog had alerted but the contract cleaner said it was OK ?
Would you walk out of your oncologist's surgery perfectly happy if a 'melanoma' detection spaniel had alerted to a mole on your back, but the doctor said "it's probably OK" ?

Notoriously unreliable ? Tell that to the people serving life in the UK and the USA on the basis of what cadaver dogs had "Said, Sandra !"

That week, he had been treated as no more than a witness until it emerged he had given detectives and his family two conflicting versions of events.
The Daily Telegraph alerted Scotland Yard to the discrepancies in his story after interviewing his father, Keith Hazell and sister, Sarah Parratt, three days after Tia went missing last August.
Hazell had told police that she disappeared after leaving the home he shared with her grandmother, Christine Bicknell, to go shopping for flip-flops.
However, he told Mr Hazell and Mrs Parratt that he had walked her to the tram station himself but was unsure whether she actually boarded a train.
