I ran across an interesting article on cadaver dogs. I know we talked about PPD not bringing in dogs to the garage for Christina.
Anyway, talks about our buddy Arpad Vass:
"Local police departments have been reluctant to use the cadaver dogs for searches because their trainers are volunteers, but that's changing, with these successes and as the dogs' training has become more standardized.
When more than one dog has alerted independently in the same spot, some judges have been persuaded to allow cadaver dog evidence.
In February, for instance, cadaver dog evidence helped convict a suburban Chicago man, Aurelio Montano, of killing his wife. She disappeared in 1990, and although her body was never found, investigators got a tip, years later, and dug up a rug at a horse farm on which more than one cadaver dog alerted. They contended that Montano had wrapped the body in the rug."
