Pondering. The cremains tripped off the cadaver dogs. The scent dogs ... Would they have been thrown by it as well? They are two different scent skillsets, aren't they? Would be interesting to know if BOTH types of dogs were thrown off by the cremaims.
Really depends on the K9 and its training. They are two skill sets with some K9's being cross trained. My understanding is they had multiple K9's working. LE would have been informed of what their capabilities were at the get go for appropriate search management.
