:saythat: This "missing link" has been driving me crazy! I can't produce the video I saw, because it's been removed (link from my web history:Also, I just heard on the news (will bring a link) that the dogs tracked Amber's scent to the Pala Library, and more specifically, to a video of "Friday the 13th", which was Amber's favorite movie, and to a book about wolves.
WTH?! I wonder if the bad guy lured her with those items? The news report said that the searchers asked the librarian if Amber had checked out those items, but the librarian said "no".

Gardner was registered as a sex offender because of his 2000 conviction for molesting a girl after luring her to his house with the Robin Williams movie "Patch Adams," about a doctor who uses humor to treat patients.

I did find a comment on a print story at signonsandiego.com which at least suggests that I didn't imagine what I heard (which I was starting to think) :

This comment suggests News8 reported it, which agrees with my web history. Further research found me the following blog post:

...In August, 2009 we were contacted by Amber’s grandmother, Attorney, Sheila Welch. She asked if we could help locate Amber. Within the month we went through hundreds of tips submitted to the family via their website at http://www.bringamberhome.com . We followed up on every single one and started building our next phase based on what tipsters gave us.

Bold mine. I find it interesting that, although I was searching for information to back up my own earlier observations, what I found really better supports exactly what sarx, Ghostwheel, and JTSYS have been saying all through this thread.
It looks to me as if the information about dogs tracking Amber to the Pala Library, and to specific things there, was either mis-reported, in which case there should be a retraction; factually incorrect, in which case the PI's blog post is remarkable in it's similarity to what imagined I heard; or, it is (or isn't) part of the investigation into Amber's murder, and LE doesn't want us talk about it. This last possibility makes the most sense to me, so I'm going to leave it alone, and try to trust that I wasn't supposed to capture that video for a good reason.
Just wanted to clear that up.
I appreciate all the information about your wonderful dogs! Amazing! Thanks so much for doing what you do!
