Thanks for sharing, WhattheHey. Yes, what could the police be at the house for this time? Maybe they are getting a bit more 'invasive'...pulling up floorboards/ wall linings? Looking for hidden things? Who knows?
Whatever it is though, I hope they find it.
Oh Scraps the little dog from next door. What a cute little fella.
I think the dogs that barked and howled around the house and out at Anstead knew that someone had died and if only they could speak in our language.
Their sense of hearing and smell is thousands of times more powerful than ours and I believe they can smell a dead body from a long way away.
Any dog experts here? Your knowledge would be most welcome.

The Canine Sense of Smell
http://www.whole-dog-journal.com/issues/7_11/features/Canine-Sense-of-Smell_15668-1.html
Excerpt:-
"We also know that we can use the dog’s incredible sense of smell to benefit mankind in ways we are only beginning to imagine. Today’s working scent dogs are involved in search and rescue (some dogs can follow a trail that is more than a week old), finding cadavers (dogs have even detected drowned people in a depth of 80+ feet of water), detecting explosives, firearms, and drugs, and even scenting tumors in human patients. Early work has begun to use dogs to test the breath of humans – to help diagnose internal diseases before they become evident with other methods."
