Also Tuesday, authorities took a highly trained tracking dog through the van Dam home in hopes of turning up clues that will clear up the mystery of her disappearance.

Officers led the bloodhound, on loan from the Riverside County Sheriff's Department, from room to room in the van Dams' northern San Diego house and through their yard late in the afternoon.

"We're going to try to pick up a scent," Duncan said. "This dog is different than the dogs we used the other day, and it's supposed to be maybe a little bit better-trained."

Investigators said they were unsatisfied with a canine search of the two-story Sabre Springs home they conducted within the first few days of the 7-year-old's presumed kidnapping.

"The FBI has utilized this particular dog in the past, and they felt very confident in its abilities," Duncan said of the hound.

Officials would not say if the brown-and-black, floppy-eared dog seemed to have detected anything of value.

You're the best! I appreciate it sooo much. I hope and pray the jury thinks of these little common sense things as well as the technical stuff. I'm so upset I could just spit!
