Kate on the dogs .Page 4th May: page 86 At about nine o’clock we all went out on to Rua Dr Agostinho da Silva to find out what was going on and to look out for the PJ. The GNR patrol was still in evidence, although again, there didn’t seem to be much sense of urgency. So what had the police been doing? It was hard to tell. According to the PJ files, to which we did not have access until August 2008, two patrol dogs were brought to Praia da Luz at 2am on 4 May and four search-and-rescue dogs at 8am. I don’t remember seeing any police dogs until the morning, and if there were any specific police searches overnight, they were not apparent. The only searches I was aware of were those carried out by ourselves, fellow guests and the Mark Warner staff. According to the files, the tracker dogs did not go out until 11pm on 4 May. At some point in the first twenty-four hours (I could not say when exactly, but probably that morning) I recall one of the GNR patrol officers asking us for some of Madeleine’s clothing or belongings to enable these dogs to identify her scent. I fetched the pink princess blanket she took to bed with her every night, which they took, and some of her clothes, which they didn’t. unquote This little gem is full of interest and contradiction. According to the PJ files - there were two patrol dogs at 2. am. Four search and rescue dogs at 8. am. Tracker dogs at 11.00 am. It seems Kate doesnt count the first 2 or 6 dogs as being of any use. Does she mean that the patrol dogs patrolled and didnt sniff anything? That the s and e dogs werent the right ones either? That only the Tracker dogs could do the business? Most interesting is the phrase and some of her clothes. No way would I say that. Id say and her little pink dress that she wore the day before, the pink hat she always wore - I would say which of her clothes Id offered. She also doesnt say why they didnt take the clothes.
