Wouldnt one expect investigators to have checked on the history of a vehicle if forensics were being done on it?

All of the stories I've seen (admittedly, I'm not following this too closely) simply say that the police found the victim's blood in the car, without really going into details. Was the blood found such as could only come from a body, then?

Alex Woolfall is crisis management head at Bell Pottinger, the public relations outfit headed by the original sultan of spin, Lord Bell. Mr Woolfall’s main clients have included that other global brand Coca-Cola.
For the first fortnight after Madeleine disappeared, he was on the spot in Praia da Luz, acting as gobetween for the family and the growing pack of journalists.

Hugh,
It's a bit more interesting than that.
Here's the text:Fortunately, the Mark Warner organisation that runs the holiday camp where Madeleine disappeared was represented by one of the best PRs in the business.

The McCanns are hit by a crisis. In fact, every parent's worst nightmare.
And who should appear from nowhere? None other than Lord Bell's top crisis manager.
He didn't "take over".
He got the ball rolling. Before being relieved by a woman. (perhaps I should rephrase that last sentence)
Tim Bell was Margaret Thatcher's PR guru. There is no more Establisment spin-merchant. And like other dodgy characters I could mention, he operates from the House of Lords, is therefore a legislator, and possesses all the "protection" that implies.
But it gets more interesting.
The McCanns used the facilities at Mark Warner. But their accomodation was just OUTSIDE the complex.
That's important for two reasons.
First, there is no conflict of interest between the McCanns and Mark Warner, simply because Mark Warner CANNOT be held legally liable. Had their accomodation been within the complex then Mr Woolfall would be unable to help, however much he desired so to do.
Second, the underlying point that there is no harm to Warner, should an "old friend" be calling in a favour.
I suspect the same has been done to the McCanns as was done to the directors at Matrix Churchill. They have been deliberately set up.

I know that sedation of Madeline has been mentioned in press reports and gossip over this case, so I just wanted to share with the CiF crowd a conversation my wife (A theatre nurse) overheard while at the operating table last week.
A (Male) Cardiologist upon hearing on the radio that the McCanns were now suspects started rattling on about how, in his view, the McCanns had sedated the child and come back to find her blue, before chopping her up and disposing of the body. All very tin foil hat or black humour so far, until he decided to initiate a conversation with the other doctors present about sedating kids.
According to this doctor, he has sedated/drugged his children on many an occasion so that he could carry on with his social life. Apparently 'All Cardiologists do it' and whenever one is at a function and the kids are sound asleep upstairs, 'everyone knows how'.
He then challenged the (Female) Anaethetist to deny that she had ever sedated her children. She didn't deny and in fact said that he had done so.
Whether such actions had anything to do with the Madeline McCann case is another matter, but aren't doctors absolute a-holes if sedating your own children so you can carry on a social life is a widespread practise amongst them.
