There was blood found on the curtain in 5A
@KDMoose #mccann So no blood was found on the curtain and Martin didn't mention the alert in his report then? Back to the drawing board for you lil lady. :) Here I prove you wrong yet again :)
'On 4 August 2007, at 15h00, a crime laboratory team comprising the signatories
went, at the request of DIC Portimao PJ, to a residence at [the above address] in
order to collect trace evidence from the place.'
http://www.mccannpjfiles.co.uk/PJ/BLOOD.htm
There were 3 curtain items, a sample piece of the white curtain 286B/2007-CR/L 1 which was collected on the 3rd August following the alert by Keela:
'Finally, it was also requested by the investigating officers that we proceeded also with the delivery to FSS of Birmingham, United Kingdom, for further laboratory
examination, a piece of the other white lining from the blue curtains numbered 16,
that had been collected on 3 August 2007.
The paper package containing that piece of white lining was delivered to FSS of
Birmingham, in the United Kingdom, under cover of delivery note 286B/2007-CR/L, a copy of which is attached.'

And the two blue curtains 286A/2007 CRL 16 curtain 1 and 286A/2007 CRL 16 curtain 2 which were collected on the 4th August.
'On 4 August there were collected at [the above address]:
- Three (3) spots from the floor, numbered as trace evidence 1 to 3;
- Ten (10) spots from the wall, numbered as trace evidence 4 to 13;
- Two (2) spots from the back of one blue, cloth-upholstered sofa existing in the living room, numbered as trace evidence 14 to 15;
- Two blue curtains with white curtain lining from one of the windows of the living
room, numbered as trace evidence 16.'

and
'b) Samples collected in the living room of the apartment 5A, block A, Ocean Club, tourist resort, Praia da Luz, Lagos, on August 3rd, 2007, following the second examination carried out by a British specialist dog team (Delivery note no. 286B/2007-CR/L):
1. A piece of fabric from white curtain next to a window in the living room.

In his report Martin combines the alert to the tiles on the 31st July and the alert to the curtain on the 3rd August. He does not state that Keela alerted to the blue curtain or to the white lining. He doesn't give a date for any of the searches anywhere in PDL and would know that the PJ would only want to know what alerts occurred at each location, they already know the dates the searches took place on.
'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.'

Keela did not alert to the curtain on the 31st July purely because she didn't examine it closely as Martin stops the fingertip search after she has alerted to the tiles in the same area that Eddie did. The search on the 3rd August looks to have been more thorough with the curtains closed as in the photo and she has sniffed her way all along them and has then alerted to the hem of 286A/2007 CRL 16 curtain 2.

The blue curtains and one white lining and the separate piece of white lining are then sent to the FSS and Lowe finds low level incomplete DNA on the hem of the blue curtain 286A/2007 CRL 16 curtain 2.
'Low level incomplete DNA results, which in certain circumstances showed a contribution of DNA from more than one person were obtained from biological material on the following swabs: 286A/2007 CRL 14a, 14b, 15a; the swab from the hem of the curtain 286A/2007 CRL 16 curtain 2; the swabs from the tile pieces 286/2007 CRL 2 areas 1 and 2 and 3 area 1. In my opinion there is no evidence to support the view that anyone from the McCann family contributed their DNA to them results.'
http://www.mccannpjfiles.co.uk/PJ/JOHN_LOWE.htm
He then states:
'The curtains (286A/2007 - CR/L 16 and 16B) and the piece of white curtain (286B/2007 - CR/L 1) and the fragments of bushes (286/2007 CR/L 21) were examined for the presence of blood. No blood was found. '
and later
'FSS-GF-679 Emissao 2, Pagina 21
286A/2007-CRL 16 & 16B Two blue curtains and one white curtain
286B/2007-CRL 1 One white section of a curtain
These curtains were analysed for traces of blood, semen and saliva, none of which were detected. The hem of one of the blue curtains (16) was swabbed to collect any cellular material that might exist. An incomplete, inconclusive DNA result consisting only of two unconfirmed DNA components was obtained. In my opinion the result is not adequate for comparison purposes. The sample was submitted for LCN analysis.
An incomplete, low-level DNA result, comprising only some DNA components, was obtained through LCN from the CELLULAR MATERIAL recovered from the hem of one the curtains. In my opinion, this result contained information too meagre to permit a meaningful interpretation.'
So blood was found on the blue curtain and it was not a false positive by Keela as you claim at all.
You clearly don't realise that blood is made up of two major components: plasma and CELLULAR MATERIAL.

'Blood: Plasma and Cellular Material
Blood is made up of two major components: plasma and cellular material.'
Do watch the video and listen to it :)
and of course, from Martin himself:
'The components of blood are approximately:
Red cells 40-50%
Plasma 55% (of which 95% is water)
White cells
Platelets
DNA can only be removed from white cells.
This would suggest that, of the samples signalled by the dog looking for human blood, approximately 5% are available for DNA tests.'

You really must try harder Cass :)
