I was distracted while listening to some parts - can one of you clarify something?
The dogs didn't seem to scent anything on Cedar where the POI lived at the time but here are my notes from the podcast. If you know the town or go onto mapquest, you could follow this along. If dogs tracked correctly, she would have gone down Maple heading East towards 3rd; BUT instead of keeping on Maple and continuing straight along, the most logical choice for her to get home quickly, the dogs turned South onto 6th, then turned onto PINE. The intersection area of Pine and Main Street is about 2 blocks north of the corner of Cedar. Both Pine, Cedar and Maple line 3rd ST (which is the main drag of town). Dogs went past the intersecting area of Pine/Main St and then chose to turn or pull out onto 3rd, heading North. If the dogs were correct, then she'd have been about 1.5 blocks from the turnoff to Mommsen (her home street). East Mommsen is only 3 blocks north of Cedar ST. Everything is smushed together. The town only had about 1400 people at the time--quick look on Wikipedia says it has about 1600 now...probably because of new housing built after Lindsey's time there.
If you look to step 7 you'll see that dogs continued onto Mommsen and then past LB's house.
It would have been no problem, regardless, to see LB on 3rd, near 3rd or anywhere near 3rd.
What confused me, and I haven't had time to research it, was the podcast's reference to air-pocketing or scent-pocketing and how that would work. They seemed to have said it could work even when somebody was in a car...?

1) FIRST DOG “RUN”: Black pullover PAD was pulled at 647 Maple; K9 placed “neutrally” to the right of the door.
2) K9 JACK turned right and headed E on Maple at “strong working gait”
3) K9 did a “4-Corners Check” at 7th but continued going E down Maple ST
4) K9 did another 4 Corners Check at 6TH ST w/ canine opting to turn R and head S on 6th.
5) Staying on L side of road, going up a small hill, canine turned L (or E) on PINE ST
6) K9 crossed over Main (ST) to take an angled track across corner of lawn at intersection of Pine and Main St where dog exited out onto 3rd ST.
7) K9 Crossed over onto R side of roadway, turned Right onto Mommsen, stayed to R side of roadway
8) K9 continued on till reaching 470 Mommsen [PAST LB’S HOUSE] and turned L into a semi-circle gravel drive;
These aren't all of the notes but this should clear up your question, if anything can be cleared up.
