Huh. Well, paint me skeptical! Dusek implied today that Danielle could have been in that storage compartment for a couple of days, mummifying.

He couldn't be wrong about that, could he? Or is it that the dogs (and their "expert" handlers) may have been wrong?

The dog gave an alert at the door and then went around the MH.

The second time he came around the door was opened.

Supervisor said the dog became animated...

Feldman objected.

Supervisor said the dog entered the storage area and sniffed a lot.. and didn't give the second alert but she referred to the original alert as the "first alert".

She said the dogs were specific scent dogs, but didn't define specific scent.

reading from his email..."I ASKED IF I COULD WORK CIELO AGAIN AROUND THE OUTSIDE. I HAD WORKED BOTH OF THEM EARLIER IN THE WEEK AT THE LOCATION WHERE THE MOTOR HOME WAS NORMALLY PARKED. STARTING AT THE PASSENGER'S FRONT TIRE, I GAVE HIM THE CADAVER COMMAND BONES AND HAD HIM CHECK OUT ALL THE SEAMS IN THE STORAGE COMPARTMENTS ALONG BOTH SIDES."BY MR. DUSEK:Q WHAT DID YOU WRITE IN THE NEXT PARAGRAPH?A "WHEN WE GOT TO THE SECOND COMPARTMENT, HE SHOWED ME -- HE SHOWED INCREASED INTEREST, INTENSE SNIFFING AND TAIL-WAGGING, ON THE FRONT SIDE, AND AT THE BACK SIDE MADE EYE CONTACT WITH ME, SAT DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF ME, AND BARKED. I WASN'T SURE, BUT I THOUGHT HE WAS GIVING ME HIS CADAVER SCENT.""
