Wondering what kind of bloodhounds were used, those that search for living missing persons or the cadaver type? Hmm, would they employ both types at the same time?

''INDIANAPOLIS (WTHR) - The bloodhound's sense of smell is "unsurpassed" by any other breed.
"They're the Cadillac," when it comes to chasing scent, said Mike McPherson of Hancock County Search Dogs.''
"We live in Hancock County and we only use bloodhounds for...it's called 'sense specific trailing' and the only thing they do is look for a live person," Kelly said. "There are people who will use bloodhounds as cadaver dogs, so it really depends on what you train them to look for."
''Researchers who tried to quantify the reliability of bloodhounds in identify and trailing the scent of humans in high traffic areas on 48-hour-old trails found they had a success rate of 96% with no false identifications. It's for this reason why what a bloodhound tracks can be admissible in the court of law.''
