Madeleine McCann Bloodhounds At Work: What Americans Didn't See On Oprah

.
From the statement by Martin Grime, the English dog handler brought in to check out the apartments of the McCanns and those of their holiday companions.

As far as I am aware these dogs have never given a false positive indication in over two hundred cases.

The first film (five minutes) shot in Praia da Luz, scene of crime, is a truncated version of the original.

The second must watch film shot in America relates to a different case entirely. In spite of concerted efforts by the perp to camouflage the cadaver odour of the victim, the dog is having none of it.

"All five apartments were searched using the EVRD. (evidence recovery dog) The only alert indications were at apartment 5a, the reported scene.

The EVRD alerted in the:
Rear bedroom of the apartment in the immediate right hand corner by
the door.
Living room, behind sofa.
Veranda outside parent's bedroom.
Garden area directly under veranda.

My observation of the dog's behaviour in this instance was that the dog's
behaviour changed immediately upon opening the front door to the apartment.
He will normally remain in the sit position until released and tasked to search.
On this occasion he broke the stay and entered the apartment with an above
average interest. His behaviour was such that I believed him to be 'in scent'
and I therefore allowed him to free search without direction to allow him to
identify the source of his interest. He did so alerting in the rear bedroom.

I released him from this and tasked him to continue to search. He did so
alerting in an area to the rear of the sofa in the lounge.
The first alert was given with the dogs head in the air without a positive area
being identified. This is the alert given by him when there is no tangible
evidence to be located only the remaining scent.

The second alert was one where a definitive area was evident. The CSI dog
was therefore deployed who gave specific alert indications to specific areas on the tiled floor area behind the sofa and on the curtain in the area that was in contact with the floor behind the sofa. This would indicate to the likely presence of human blood.

The forensic science support officers were then deployed to recover items for
laboratory analysis.

There were no alert indications from the remaining properties. I did however
see the dog search in the kitchen waste bins. These contained meat
foodstuffs including pork and did not result in any false alert response".
