Excellent thought . Wonder how legal that would be though.
I don't think it would be outside the laws of evidence collection, but I'm neither a lawyer nor a dog handler. Seems to me that if a dog thought he smelled something on the ground near the bike and followed that scent, that would be a clue in and of itself, which LE would be permitted to follow.
If the scent went back to the Morphew home, but not to anything owned by Suzanne - but instead by someone else, I think they could use that as part of the investigation, even though it might not be admissible in court.
I think that BM's lack of a valid alibi combined with any evidence of this nature (any aspect of staging) would put him front and center. I'm guessing a judge might issue a broad search warrant just based on the lack of a valid alibi or a changing alibi.
I do wonder where BM really was that day (and the day before). It's entirely possible that the daughters used one family car for their trip, BM had his truck and Suzanne had only a bicycle at her disposal. Would love to know for sure.
No vigils, no particular place where candles, flowers, etc. have been assembled. I can only think that the daughters are devastated and have little hope of seeing their mom again. I hope they get all kinds of support - but they're now living away from family in Indiana, and their mom's mom is already deceased. Too bad the fund raising effort is for BM's mother and not for the daughters.
