We might not be giving Canines enough credit to solve crimes though. (JMO)
About Our Dogs (Text Version)
Fourth paragraph, BBM:
"A dog can use all of his/her senses, like hearing, seeing, and smelling to find a specific person or thing. To do this, though, requires a lot of training. They are always practicing, but the dogs love it because it is what they were born to do.
I want to know: If this is true, ..... could a pet canine identify a perp's
voice?
At one point, early on, Sheriff Fitzgerald said "we've probably talked to the person who did this" . (Can't find the link right now.)
This implies that LE has talked to a lot of Locals while exhaustively pouring through their 2000 tips, and it is likely,....and they admit this, ...... that they might have already questioned the perp(s) without knowing it. (IMO)
There is probably no budget for this plan written below, because of the
HUGE cost of dog biscuits, but in-a-perfect-world, ....... it would be great if .....:
a) LE picks the top ten POI's that they have on their "internal list" from all the initial tips and investigations, and request that these citizens come to the police station for a chat. (If someone refuses, and then brings a lawyer, .....that's food for thought too, non?) They interview each one, and they record (audio and video) of each of these ten conversations (if this hasn't been done already for some folks, esp. those already being held on other charges). LE subsequently thanks each of them for this routine follow-up discussion, and sends them on their way.
b) Then LE canine handlers have Jayme's dog listen to each of the ten conversations.
c) And, LE canine handlers have the Smrekars' dog listen to each of the ten conversations.
d) (It might be a good idea to precede this activity ....... with a playing back each time of the "cleaned up" 47-second 911-call, so that each canine "remembers back" to that horrific night. Ugh. )
e) LE would then gauge if either canine have any reaction to a particular POI's voice recording out of the ten: .... by exhibiting growling, twitching, teeth-baring, whining, barking, discomfort, etc. because that dog recognizes the perp's voice while he is speaking conversationally in response to police questions.
(During these interviews, LE could even provide a single sentence which is requested that the POI yell out loud, to better simulate the tone and volume of his voice that night in October. A lawyer would most likely object to all of this. Too bad. )
And what if BOTH dogs show some kind of reaction to the SAME POI's voice recording ? That would be very interesting. The Smrekars' dog was also agitated that night. Their canine can sort of provide "confirmation" for the reaction of Jayme's dog, who was much closer to the crime scene. (IMO)
As more validation, the FBI would bring their own dogs to "compare" the "cleaned up" 911 call ...to the 10 audio recordings also, as they have special training in this, with their Handlers.
REALLY GRABBING AT STRAWS HERE!
(Beside, I'm a cat person, and don't know much about dog's capabilities!!!!!)
I WANT THIS SOLVED!
