The Dogs and Soham

by vaguely1 18.02.10 9:01

Does anyone have any idea of what they were used for in relation to Soham murders. Google not offering up much info.

Nothing....the bodies were found by a walker, who discovered the bodies in a ditch

by vaguely1 18.02.10 19:30

I know, which is why I'm wondering what their part was in helping to solve the case.

by Cath 18.02.10 19:33

Did anybody state that they helped solving this case?

by vaguely1 18.02.10 19:34

Yes.

hold on.

Perhaps they've searched and the rest is PR spin????
Grime didn't mention it in his personal profile, did he?

by vaguely1 18.02.10 19:53

I don't know. I wondered if they had used them in the school or the house. Very little information about it on the web, but I guess that's because of the date maybe.

by Cath 18.02.10 19:56

2002?
There's plenty of stuff on the web of those years.
I never searched that. Will see if I've got time tomorrow (if I don't forget).

ETA on the other hand, wouldn't people like Stevo etc. have found information?

Gives quite a comprehensive list of press releases and articles, but a lot of them appear to have disappeared.

by Cath 18.02.10 20:08

Hmmm

Lots of links here as well:

Cheers Inyx, I think those are the ones that have disappeared in the link I gave.

by vaguely1 18.02.10 20:14

as as aside to the dogs, this

Is very interesting with regards to press prejudicing a trial, or even stopping someone being brought to justice.

right...back to the dogs.

yes, that's what I hoped. I've read a few, no mentioning of the dogs (yet)

by vaguely1 18.02.10 20:25

There is a lot of hair/soil etc forensic evidence. So i thought maybe they were brought in for the bath. I can't work out from the stories through how long the time was from the murders to Huntley disposing of their bodies. I'm not sure anyone knows.

The summaries available seem to suggest it was quite quickly.

by jack 18.02.10 20:31

I,m surprised they didn't signal the smell of human corpse in huntleys house.

by Cath 18.02.10 21:28

We don't know if they did Jack.
Lack of information about when they were brought in, where and what they did.

They might well of - but it doesn't mention their role anywhere I can find. Also I'm not sure how long the girls were there after they had died.

by jmbd 18.02.10 21:31

Which dogs are people talking about - the 2 famous dogs or just any old hounds?

by Cath 18.02.10 21:33

Vaguely's link :

The four dogs include the spaniel, Keela, the only known animal in the world capable of detecting and following a human blood-scent.

THE dogs.

thanks

I think if they had Grime would have told us . Every businessman will promote his success.

by Cath 18.02.10 21:35

That's what I said. He didn't mention it in his personal profile.

by jmbd 18.02.10 21:37

I have trained and handle two operational specialist search dogs. 'Eddie' is a 7-yearold

English Springer spaniel dog. 'Keela' is a three-year old English Springer spaniel

From Grime profile what 2007/8

by vaguely1 18.02.10 21:39

So they weren't born.

by vaguely1 18.02.10 21:39

how odd.

by jmbd 18.02.10 21:40

born or still on the teet.

by vaguely1 18.02.10 21:41

Maybe it's bad reporting and he meant dogs in general. Although the article is about Eddie Keela Morse and Lewis.

by Cath 18.02.10 21:41

Good find. Can't have been Keela then.
But how about Eddie? And there's been Frankie as well.

Eddie would have been 2 in 2002.
When did he get 'enhanced'?
