The BBC's CRIMEWATCH Programme on Television last night spent a great amount of time on the case of a convicted killer, even though a body had never been found. The one striking aspect of the case was the use of sniffer dogs who smelt out the presence of CADAVER giving a direct link to the suspect. One area was the place the body had been hidden, and the other in the boot of his car.
We seem to remember, that the BRITISH sniffer dogs taken to Praia da Luz to assist in the search for Madeleine McCann, also discovered the presence of CADAVER. First in the Holiday Apartment used by the McCanns and then in the boot of a hire car rented by them.
We thought it rather unusual that one situation led to a prosecution and the other has not, despite the similarities, no body, cadaver where a body could have been hidden, and cadaver in a means of transport that could have been used to move the body!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The reports in today's press gives details of the Police moves to dig up some land close to where Madeleine was allegedly abducted, and the virtual army of people and machinery involved. Slightly less prominent we find that the McCanns are still progressing with their defamation case against Detective Amaral and others regarding his book and a television programme. Compensation seems more important than cooperation.
Maybe rather than chasing compensation the Parents who, we repeat, left their young children unprotected and vulnerable whilst out dining with friends, could better spend their time assisting with the continuing search for their Daughter, and also answer the questions they refused to answer to the Portuguese Police!

What has happened to all the other lines of enquiry? Where are the burglars, where are the ones wanted for interview? This case needs solving quickly, or without any firm lines of enquiry, abandoning completely.

It's Cadaverine, not cadaver. It's a chemical substance released by the body some 60-90 minutes after death, or quicker if there is blood.
We are using the word as has been used in the media for some time now, but here is the Dictionary entry:
Cadaver definition - Medical Dictionary: Definitions
Cadaver: A dead human body that may be used by physicians and other scientists to study anatomy, identify disease sites, determine causes of death, etc. etc.
