Yes, that's what struck me .....no "that's ludicrous" just an acceptance that the blood could have been Madeleine's.

Indeed and I wonder when he made this statement, was it before or after the canine searches ?

I think you will find it was before the dogs arrived in September, the Portugese were also using their Forensics Dept. The FSS proved wholly inept and
has since been sold. The PJ were apparently fed up with the time it took the FSS to analyze samples and tested their theory. Samples from the same source were sent to the FSS and the Portugese Forensics on the same day. The Portugese returned the samples with their report within days, FSS took weeks and later destroyed the samples because they said they were not asked to return them.

If he made reference to the detection of human blood in connection to the disappearance of his daughter in a statement before the dogs detected anything, blood or otherwise, then it looks as though he was pe-empting the findings ?

Yes, so obviously the PJ had found the blood stains by June and called Gerry in to ask if Madeleine suffered from nosebleeds. I can't remember the name
of the Guy, I"m sure someone will , who recommended the dogs be brought over and this time the McCann clothes and Hire Car was tested as well.

I don't know. They did mess up at least one other case that comes to mind. So, maybe just incompetent.
