Eddie and Keela: Maddie sniffer dog 'was rigged'

FURIOUS Gerry McCann believes sniffer dogs used to find Maddie clues in the family's hire car were MANIPULATED by cops.

The animals appeared to detect traces of the four-year-old's DNA in the Renault Scenic - rented 25 days after she vanished.
This lead to Kate and Gerry, both 39, being made suspects in their daughter's disappearance in Praia da Luz, Portugal.
But Gerry, from Rothley, Leics, who was shown a video of the search, told lawyers the animals' evidence was unreliable.
A source close to the couple said last night: "Gerry says a dog went up to the Scenic, sniffed around and went to head off. He watched the dog being brought back to the vehicle.
"Finally, it reacts around the boot area. Gerry was open-mouthed at that, he feels the dog was manoeuvred into a position where it could react."

I hadn't seen that article before, I found it whilst taking a peek at the AOL messageboards

I thought Eddie alerted to cadaver scent by holding his head up and sniffing the air which is why Martin Grime tried to pin him down at the Scenic.

Taken from Chapter 16 - "In the immense underground car park, Martin commands Eddie to begin the examination. The dog then intensively sniffs each of the first three cars, at tyre level, the side doors and the boot, then all round. When he gets close to the fourth, the McCanns' Renault, he becomes agitated, raises his nose while running around, as if he is trying to locate the source of the odour he has detected. Martin tells him to stop running around and concentrate on the search. Finally, he starts to growl, bark and wanting to bite the bottom of the driver's door and the boot. The odour is coming from inside. "

And here's an interesting thread on MM forum

Mark Harrison certainly carried out an in-depth investigation and that was his theory, where is he now? Wonder what he makes of the ensuing cover up that followed. I am feeling particularly enraged with the McCanns bullshit today having read that & Gerry decrying the work of the dogs, so would Gerry get on a plane that dogs had signalled as potentially having a bomb on board? They use these sniffer dogs in jails and even places where the Queen is visiting such is their reliability. If these dogs didn't work they wouldn't use them. I wonder if Gerry has an answer with regards to Mark Harrison? Hope to thell this information is on Amaral's book, do we know if this is the case?

One is in no doubt whatsoever that Amaral is party to each and every utterance made with regard to this case. We undoubtedlty feel passionately about seeking justice for both himself and Madeleine, but we have our lives outside of this case. This case has affected Amaral and his family's very existence. It is obvious from all we have learned about this fine man that the law has always been his vocation, therefore, one is most confident that he will pursue justice with every fibre of his body. To what will be a very bitter end for the Tapas 9 and all others who have protected them.

I hope you are right, for too long the McCanns have gotten away with it and have also been protected from consequences of their actions. Even if you believe the abduction they are guilty of neglect and endangering her life...and they know this, hence pushing the abduction so hard.

One's jury is out as to whether there was time enough for neglect on the 3rd May. O'Brien was away from the table allegedly changing bedding which was not corroborated. We cannot account for Kate McCann's whereabouts. It may very well turn out that Madeleine or any of the children were not left alone at all.

I was playing devils advocate judge and saying even if you believe their scenario they are guilty of neglect and culpable for the consequence, I personally feel she was dead long before the alarm was raised and I am not even sure I believe it was an accident as in a fall to be perfectly honest.
