I thought it would be interesting to get an education from some of the more experienced recovery searchers here...some seasoned vets.
I'd really like to hear some detailed lessons of experience. What to do & not do when searching.
For example, during a search you locate a black plastic bag and odor. You want to preserve the discovery area for evidence, but, you don't want to raise false alarms. Do you cut open the bag w/ latex gloves on? This would allow any flies to escape, hence, losing valuable forensic evidence. Simple details like this would be interesting, IMHO.
Obviously, I haven't spent much time watching CSI shows, but, I'm betting the real stories WS can relay would be a much more meaningful & helpful education.
Sooooo....let's hear it.
And if you don't mind...please open your post with something to explain what your experience/background in searching might be (e.g. volunteer/professional, # years in searching, ever involved in finds, cadaver-dog use, etc.)
TIA!
