Eddie was trained using pig foetuses; forgetting all his training and not waiting for a command he lunged into the apartment and ran round it, sniffing like mad, maybe reliving the wee puppy he once was when he was being trained using eau de cochon.
I once encountered a student who worked with his father who was a pig farmer.
There was evidence of a very strong smell associated with his work which IMO would be picked up by a dog for a long period from wherever that young man moved to in the room.
By the way, I found that opening windows dissipated the odour.
The FBI used these dogs. Harrison recommended these dogs.
Eddie is an enhanced victim recovery dog and is specially trained to detect the scent of human remains. He is able to smell through solid materials, like concrete, because of scientific training techniques.
It's this training that sets him apart from standard police sniffer dogs, which are able to detect human remains in shallow graves. The springer's nose is more sensitive and he is called in on more complicated cases.
The specialist training techniques - which are highly confidential - were developed by Eddie's handler Martin Grime, along with the UK's National Policing Improvement Agency (NPIA) and America's Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI).
"A standard sniffer dog is like a basic tool. An enhanced dog goes through much more training and is a lot more discriminating about smells, basically its nose is super sensitive. It's also about getting the dog to really focus on a task. Other dogs have to do other police duties but mine work full-time in this area, making them very sharp and highly skilled."
Charlotte Pinkney was abducted by an ex-boyfriend and has never been seen since.
An initial search by the EVRD revealed a 'classic' secondary deposition site near to a sighting of the suspect in suspicious circumstances.
The investigative team distrusted the dogs opinion until a full forensic search revealed a small button off of the girls clothing in long grass.This evidence was put to the suspect who fully admitted the offence.
Distrust Eddie's alert? Were they mad. Seems so.
