does she or her family speak Japanese?We believe our best chance of finding Pattie is with the use of Search and Rescue scent tracking dogs. The previous searches did not utilize any dogs and unfortunately no clues or leads were found. If anyone knows of police units with K-9 units, locals with bloodhounds, or any other ideas on how to get dogs quickly please let us know. The scent trail is now 8 days old and diminishing so time running down.

I think the time lost between her disappearance being reported to a small, local police station and her family being notified she was missing is the big hurdle.Search continues for Connecticut woman reported missing in Japan

Plus there is a language barrier between the family now in Japan and LE.
It's such a different culture than here & I do not think the family will have success taking an "American" approach. JMO but they have to figure out what is likely to be most accepted by local LE & local communities.
Eleven miles of trail in mountainous terrain to search. See pics here:
