The dogs used were bloodhounds.

The bloodhound led police and family members on foot from Camden into Pennsauken before losing the scent. Police began another intense hunt Friday morning after scaling back their overnight search for Jesstin Pagan, 5; Daniel Agosto, 6; and Anibal Cruz, 11. The boys disappeared Wednesday afternoon from the yard next to Cruz's home. (AP Photo/Tim Larsen)}

Snowy, using your logic, the police could never had done enough. They worked diligently to find these kids. If you are looking to blame someone, it isn't them.

Well the kids didn't bleed so the hounds didn't notice them. Obviously.

Respectively disagree.

For all of that they could have used search planes, and DOD satellites and never found them because they skipped using their heads.
Dogs? DOH!

I have to disagree. They did not do everything they could. They did not use the right tool for the job. They know SAR teams exist and had us and another team on standby for over a day. What you don't know is someone from another team was there helping in ways other than searching, because he wasn't allowed to. He told them that he could have 40-50 searchers there within an hour. He was told that they have enough manpower, but thanks anyway. The offered a reward, but didn't take us off standby and deploy us??? I know what you are saying, but you have to know that this happens a lot. Ego and politics gets in the way of helping the lost person(s). Remember, finding people is all we do. We work very hard and are all volunteers. The police are paid and don't train like we do. Ask yourself why they drastically scaled down the search the night before at 6:30 pm? The official reason was 'darkness'. That's BS. They have to pay those 'searchers' overtime. We do not stop on account of darkness. We only stop when told to by the authorities.
