Do BKA think Madeleine was initially buried at Arade dam but then moved on a later date, hence the need to examine sub-surface soil?mystery ( kind of ) solved!? "Cops hope to link soil found at the reservoir to Bruckner's van"

The subsurface soil was needed to go back 16 years agoDo BKA think Madeleine was initially buried at Arade dam but then moved on a later date, hence the need to examine sub-surface soil?
Not sure... do you want one?Do I win a prize?
Can you explain please? Has the excavated area been submerged in interim years?The subsurface soil was needed to go back 16 years ago
Not sure... do you want one?
Thing is though, they are dated 2014 which I think is around when the letter began being discussed on social media. Nothing at all mentioned prior to that so far as I can see and had it been reported it would have been in police files since the case had not been archived by the first anniversary.Looked at those clips earlier .. so was locked and loaded !

There is always accumulation of soil as years go by. They want to compare the specific soil they have with that from Arade. The best way to do it is to go back in time by taking samples from below the surface. Interestingly, if there was blood there at some point, specific bacteria would be seen in the soil.Can you explain please? Has the excavated area been submerged in interim years?
Of course it is possible. Forensic soil analysis has helped solve many crimes lately - collecting soil samples from fibers/clothes and matching them to other soil samples from crime scenes/suspects' cars/bootsI don’t know if this is even possible but, could they be trying to match dirt found in the fibers of the swimsuits found in CB's van to the dirt samples taken from the dam area in Portugal?

Eta. There must be something of greater significance in the soil samples they have from his van that has led them to get a search warrant and have 30 officers at the scene than just establishing that CB spent time there. Jmo
Eta2.the brown paper bags we saw are usually used for soil samples
your eta1: that seems like a v good point.There is always accumulation of soil as years go by. They want to compare the specific soil they have with that from Arade.

Possibly but it's the 30+ officials, the police cars driven from Germany and HcW comments last year they found something significant in his van which would warrant such an effort and money right?BIB - Agreed
They might not need a search warrant for that location. Permission might have been given.
Yes but does his statement mention the letter?Date of diligence: 2007/05/12
Which was prior to the first anniversary.
