AN IMAGE AND SOUND RECORDING OF THE WHOLE INQUIRY WAS MADE.

On 6th August 2007 at about 15.17 a sniffer dog inspection was carried out of the following cars that had been placed for this purpose in the underground car park mentioned previously:

Vehicle nº 1 – Opel Corsa – number plate 75-AG-62
Vehicle nº 2 – Fiat Punto – number plate 45-49-ER
Vehicle nº 3 – Peugeot 205 – number plate RI-96-03
Vehicle nº 4 – Renault Scenic – number plate – 59-DA-27
Vehicle nº 5 – Skoda Fabia – number plate 96-26-VE
Vehicle nº 6 – Volkswagon Transporter – number plate 44-77-KD
Vehicle nº 7 – Nissan Patrol – number plate VH-24-22
Vehicle nº 8 – Volkswagon Passat – number plate 57-12-HP
Vehicle nº 9 – Audi A4 – number plate 10-91-FP
Vehicle nº 10 –Renault Kangoo – number plate 07-50-UI

The inquiry began at the time indicated, the dog EDDY which detects cadaver odour, searched the whole of the floor of the underground car park where the cars were parked with the following result:

15.27 – the dog “marked” vehicle nº4 – Renault Scenic – number plate – 59-DA-27, the rental car currently used by Gerry and Kate McCann.

The Renault Scenic vehicle – number plate 59-DA-27 was removed to the third floor of the underground car park and was subjected to a forensic search by officers from the Scientific Police Laboratory and another sniffer dog inspection that began at 03.49 on 7th August by the dog KEELA, which detected human blood remains, the following results were noted:

03.53 – the dog “marked” a zone on the right inferior side of the inside of the luggage compartment of the vehicle;

04.11 – the dog “marked” the compartment on the driver’s side, which was seen to contain the vehicle’s key, of a plastic electronic card type, with a key ring from the Budget car rental agency.

With the aim of confirming whether the dog had effectively “marked” the vehicle’s key, which was inside the compartment on the driver’s side, at 04.13 the key in question was removed from the vehicle and hidden in a place far from the vehicle on the third floor of the underground car park.

At about 04.14 it was observed that the dog “marked” the area of a box containing sand from the Fire Service, underneath which, effectively, the vehicle’s key had been hidden.

At approximately 04.50 a new sniffer dog inspection was carried out using the dog EDDY which detects cadaver odour, using the vehicle key which for this purpose was hidden on the fourth floor of the underground car park, far away from the vehicle.

At about 04.51, it was observed that the dog “marked” the area of the box containing sand from the Fire Service, underneath which the key had been hidden.

Official record of the canine inspection at 23h20 on 2 August 2007 at the Municipal Pavilion of Lagos, [situated in] Lagos.

The ten participants are indicated as being five PJ Chief Inspectors (2)/Inspectors (3); The UK NPIA officer (Harrison); the UK dog handler (Grime); the Portuguese-speaking officer from Scotland Yard (Freitas); and the two UK English Springer spaniels - Eddy and Kila.

Following the search effected at Rua das Flores, 27, during which certain items were seized, this present inspection was performed, in a place appropriated for its purpose, attempting to identify particular pieces of clothing possibly indicated by the dogs, namely Eddy [that] indicates cadaver odours and Kila [that] indicates blood odours.

In these terms, the pieces of clothing recovered [from the home] were laid out individually in accordance with instructions given by the British technicians, the dogs [then] walking the area where they [those pieces of clothing] were laid out by order and with the following results described below.

1. Between 23h20 and 23h30 the two dogs were allowed to reconnoitre the entire area to guarantee that there were no existing odours - and none were detected by them.

2. Between 23h30 and 23h40 items from the box labelled 'common room' were inspected by the blood dog without result.
- At 23h41 the cadaver dog began its inspection and 'marked' some clothing on the edge of the area. The inspection ended at 23h52 with the clothing having been collected for later direct examination and photographic report.

3. Clothes from the box labelled Lounge ("sitting room") were inspected by the blood dog between 00h02 (now 3 August) and 00h05 without any result. The same clothes were inspected by the cadaver dog between 00h06 and 00h07 also without any result.

4. Then the suitcase labelled 'Twins bedroom' was inspected, followed by two sets of inspections of its contents due to the large number of individual pieces it contained: the blood dog inspected [the first set] between 00h12 and 00h15, and then [the second set] between 00h22 and 00h24 - both without any result.
The cadaver dog inspected [set one] between 00h16 and 00h17, then [set two] between 00h25 and 00h26, also without any result.

5. An empty suitcase labelled 'Visitors bedroom' was inspected, along with sundry clothing packed in a box labelled Outside Clothes rack. Between 00h40 and 00h43 the blood dog inspected without any result, and in its turn the cadaver dog inspected between 00h44 and 00h45, also without any result.

6. The clothes packed in the box labelled "couple's bedroom 1" was inspected by the blood dog between 00h51 and 00h55, while the cadaver dog inspected it between 00h56 and 0057 without any result from either dog.
because there were so many pieces of clothing in the box a second inspection was conducted between 01h04 and 01h07 by the blood dog, and between 01h08 and 01h09 by the cadaver dog, [again] without any result from either dog.

7. The clothes packed in the box labelled "couple's bedroom 2" was inspected by the cadaver dog between 01h20 and 01h22, then the blood dog between 01h23 and 01h25. Nothing abnormal was detected by either dog.

Attached, the photo report which immediately follows and the video recording on MiniDV cassette.

There being nothing more the activity stopped at 01h30.

This document is drawn up to ratify the truth of the above and it is going to be signed by all participants.

Date: 1st August 2007. 20.00

Place: Praia da Luz, Lagos

Participants:

1. PJ Vitor Matos, Cheif Inspector
2. Carlos Dordonnat, Inspector
3. Ricardo Paiva, Inspector

5. Mark Harrison, British Police
6. José Freitas, British Police

7. EDDY, English Springer Spaniel

8. GNR Luis Sequeira, Major
9. Mateus Tomé, Lieutenant

On this date, after having checked the area surrounding the Ocean Club resort, in Praia da Luz, considering that there were topological elements, soil characteristics and the distance from the apartment from which Madeleine McCann disappeared, an inspection was made using the sniffer dog specialised in the detection of cadaver odour, in Praia da Luz, in the area that includes the beginning of the rocky formation contiguous to the beach and commonly referred to as “talefa” to the area called “Rocha Negra” which is characterised by the existence of a chimney of volcanic origin.

1. Accordingly, at about 20.05 a search was made of the extension of the area, rocks and rocky concaves existing in the terrain, nothing abnormal being detected. The inspection was concentrated on an area located to the left of Praia da Luz, heading towards the sea from the Millenium restaurant. The whole terrain described was covered, nothing abnormal was detected and the diligence was concluded at about 21.00.

Report is signed by the participants.

Verbal Report by Martin Grime Relating to the Searches Carried out with the Dogs in the Ocean Club Apartments
　
Transcription/Translation

Note from Ines, the PT text is a direct translation of the PJ video of Grime’s searches. I have transcribed the text from the video, which can be seen here:

　http://www.mccannfiles.com/id167.html

　

Apartment 5 A
Ok what was done was we deployed the victim recovery dog into the apartment and by experience and the training of the dog what I first noticed is that as soon as I came in that the dog was very excited and as a handler I can pick up his body language etc and it would appear to me that as soon as he has come into the house he’s picked up a scent that he recognises and he has then gone through the apartment trying to source where that scent source has come from and as he has worked through the house the only two places where he picks up enough scent to give me the bark alert are in this bedroom, in this corner where he was barking.

What we have to be able to understand in a situation such as this is in a hot climate with the apartment being closed down, the scent will build up in a particular area. If there isn’t a scent source in here, i.e. a physical article where the scent is emitting from, any scent residue will collect in a particular place due to the air movement of the flat, the apartment and what I would say in this case is that there is enough scent in that area there for him to give me a bark indication but the source may not be in that cupboard, the source may well be in this room somewhere else but the air is actually pushing into that corner. But strong indication and I would say its positive for things that he is trained to find, which will be part of a separate debrief.

Moving onto the other rooms once he’s found what he thinks he’s looking for in this room, and we go into the bathroom and come into this bedroom he loses his interest because he’s actually found the source that he was looking for, until we come over here and I think you’ve got it on video that when he first came in he was quite interested in the sofa but he didn’t have access to the back of the sofa and when he’s gone behind the sofa what I saw was that approximately in the centre of the wall where the window is, just along the tile area between the tiles and the wall, he’s been scenting there a lot stronger than he has anywhere else and the when he’s gone out there the second time he has decided yes that’s what I’m looking for and that’s when he has given me the bark indication.

What we should understand with this dog is that he only barks when he finds something, he won't bark at any other times. He won't bark at other dogs, he won't bark at strangers, he won't bark when somebody knocks on the door or anything like that. The only times I’ve ever known him bark since I’ve got him as a small puppy a) for his dinner and that’s just excitement and that’s one of the training methods we use to teach to bark when we want him to and when he actually finds something, he won’t bark at other dogs, he won’t bark at strangers, he won’t bark when somebody knocks on the door or something like that, so again I would say that’s a positive indication.

The second dog that we’ve seen work today is the crime scene dog Keela. She will only indicate to me when she has found human blood, only human blood and it is only blood and there must be something there physically for her to be able to alert to me that’s she has actually found something. At this point over here where the victim recovery dog has indicated, as you saw on the video, the crime scene dog had actually given me what we call a passive indication where she freezes in this spot here which would indicate to me that there is some human blood there. She will find blood that’s historically very old and she will find anybody’s blood, any human blood, which is important to make sure that everybody knows.

The fact that there is other scientific methods being used may stop you recovering any DNA but if you try we’ll see what happens. But she is very, very good and when she indicates there is always blood there.

Apartment B

We’ve searched this apartment with the victim recovery dog and he has shown no interest in the flat for what he he trained to find at all so we finished.

Apartment 5 D

We’ve put the victim recovery dog through this apartment, the only interest has been in some food that he has found, other than that there is no interest in anything that he has been taught to tell me that he has found.

Apartment H5

We searched this apartment and the dog hasn’t shown any interest in this particular apartment, apart from around the table, where there was a tennis ball which is how we reward the dog for finding things, as soon as we removed the tennis ball the interest was gone. And so it was a negative search.

Apartment 4 G

We searched the apartment using the victim recovery dog. No response. Negative search.

Outside perimeter of apartments

We’ve searched the outer perimeter, there is some interest here but it will take some further examination to see what’s going on.
