It's too late for that. I think a lot of people who don't follow missing people have misplaced awe in the ability of tracking dogs; they're not super-human computers. They're better than nothing at all, and sometimes they are able to locate remains or living humans. I know they're supposed to attempt to track the "most recent" path someone took in an area, but this is a girl who wanders around that trailer park all day every day and now it's been 5 days since she was last seen. No way a dog is going to be able to sort out tracks made 5 days ago vs. 6 or 7 days ago. Add to that there have been hundreds of other footpaths carrying her footprint smell here and there all over that trailer park every single day since she was reported missing.
There is no way a dog could point out the last walking path this girl took. Although cadaver dogs might have some success.
Agreed. We saw how well these dogs worked out in the Teleka Patrick case .
