If you read all of the GNR dog handler statements, nowhere does it mention them removing a pink blanket. Only that they were given one inside the apartment to use at the very moment. Why would they remove it, when it could contain DNA from the alleged abductor? Crazy..

Its one clean way to explain how it could disappear... Not true but still an explanation.

Re pink blanket, didn't Kate mention on Oprah that the 'abductor' had the pink blanket?!? So many tales, but where lies the truth?

In her book, page 74
"...the pink blanket and cuddlecat were still exactly where they had been when we wished her goodnight"
Really Kate? because you describe the last you saw of Madeleine like this: "...Madeleine was already under her pink blanket with cuddlecat..." so the abductor made a fuss to place the blanket back exactly like it had been? Or as you describe it, "one of those almost photographic memories" had some photoshop done in your head? Or am I just fussing...

Page 86 explains the disappearance of the blanket:
" The GNR police officers asked for something which would help the dogs recognise her scento we provided her pink blanket which they took with them and some clothes which they didnt take"

(please note that I am translating back to English from Dutch version of the book, some lines may have different wording to the original)

Once again, more confusion as I thought it was said that they gave the officers a towel(thought to be Gerry's as the dogs tracked it to the supermarket and back?)
But, say they DID give it the GNR, where is it now? Are they saying the PJ kept it? Smoke, mirrors and red herrings maybe.

Not quite. Oprah alluded to the alleged abductor having taken the blanket, but Kate did not correct her.

Oprah: Well I, you know, I'd read something that said there were times even you know early on after she err went missing that you would say I want I hope that whoever has her gives her her blanket I hope that whoever has her is keeping her warm I hope that whoever has her...

Kate: I mean it's funny, it's you know, I mean as a mum it's things like that you worry about as well you know. Is someone brushing her teeth. Is someone rubbing her tummy when she's not feeling well. You know, it's all those things as a mother you do and you should be doing and...

Deftly deflected, as per.....

If you read the GNR dog handler statements, they talk of a pinkish/orange blanket. Where as the one seen on her bed is only pink, work that one out !!!

Well, as dear Gerry says, all confusion is good!

They were simply given another one out of precaution? Do we know if the twins had a similar blanket?

From Kate McCann's PJ Aguido Statement

"During these holidays Madeleine usually slept clutching a soft toy, a pink cat, and sometimes wrapped in a pink blanket. Sometimes she slept on top of the bedcover and at other times was covered with it. When shown a photo of Madeleine's room and bed, she recognizes the soft toy and the blanket of the same colour."

So were the GNR given the blanket or another one as it was still in the photograph (when photo taken) for Kate to recognise?

"The twins were laid down on their backs, covered with open weave blankets."
