Claim: Cadaver dog "hints" to body from 1975 - Bravo Siera ? ?

I will buy a bridge before I believing that a cadaver dog can accurately identify any almost fifty year old grave site.

Jimmy Hoffa Found? Cold Case Crime Investigators Think They've Cracked Decades-Old Mystery

Case Breakers founder Thomas J. Colbert told Fox News Digital that the team brought a "top" cadaver dog expert to the site,
retired cop Carren Corcoran, and her dog gave a positive signal multiple times.

My Opinion: Consult three astrologers and a OUIJA board for equally accurate results.

I don't know about a 50 year old site. I'm friends with a cadaver dog trainer. Her dog alerted on a body inside a car under 20 feet of water. The car had been there a couple of days.

Hoffa has been "found" numerous times only to be proven he hadn't. As far as a cadaver dog, a dog's sense of smell is astoundingly acute compared to a human's. I can easily see how it could detect decomp gases surfacing over water. Not any kind of expert here, but I would think there is a big difference in what the dogs could detect from an ancient burial where the body was composted into the natural soil/surroundings after decades and what they might still be able to smell from rubble where the body had been encased in concrete, basically sealed from extensive decomp to where when the site was disturbed and any air that could permeate the entombment might still give off enough sent to be detectable. I guess we'll see. Surely we have LEO's here with experience in such that will chime in.

My dog Al can smell when the wife is cooking bacon on the grill from inside my shop.

 

[Pisgah]

The only "positive signal" a dog gives is the one his trainer has taught him will get him a treat, every time. Remember that when the cops fetch their drug-sniffing dog to sniff your vehicle...

The post about a cadaver dog locating a body underwater reminds me of the late Phil Harris on Deadliest Catch saying he could locate crabs by smelling crab farts.

I think it would depend on how the the body was hidden , if wrapped in poly then buried in concrete , it could last a very long time .
From my human experience , I’ve seen (smelled) where a person dumped about a hundred pounds of seafood beside the driveway to one of our hayfields .could smell that stench for 3 years even after winters with a couple feet of snow .
In another case when the old family farm house in England was renovated ,a cured ham was found , nobody had smoked anything in the attic for over 80 years .
Like you ,I am somewhat skeptical about the dog smelling a 50 year old corpse , but maybe it could happen ?

Well, how much money do you have in the bank for that bridge just in case? Whether it’s really Hoffa I have no idea but is a tracking dog like a bloodhound capable of detecting cadaver scent below the ground? The answer is yes. I would not compare this science to astrology and a OUIJA board.

During my law enforcement career, we have successfully utilized primarily GSD and Belgian Malinois to track and apprehend hundreds of suspects. The above K9’s were trained to detect the adrenaline scent a suspect emits.

In addition to locating suspects, during my career we’ve utilized the search & rescue teams bloodhounds to locate drowning victims still under water, missing at risk children and missing elderly with Alzheimer's or dementia.

The average person has 5 million smell receptors, while the average dog, depending on breed, has 125 to 250 million smell receptors. The Bloodhound has an incredible 300 million smell receptors. Dogs can smell things up to 40 feet underground. Dogs can even smell human fingerprints that are a week old.

During my career, we had various forms of technology at our disposal, fixed wing aircraft with predator drone technology cameras, helicopters with FLIR capability, yet if I were limited to just one thing in tracking a suspect, I’ll take a K9 every time. Dogs are simply amazing animals.

A good dog, with a decent length to it's nose, can sense and remember odors at 6 parts per billion.

 

[Sistema1927]

Milwaukee? Baseball?

Everyone knows that Hoffa is buried under a football stadium in New Jersey. (Or at least that is what we have been told the past 50 years.)

 

[jeffrefrig]

Dogs have also been able to smell cancer in a person. Termites in a wall. All animals have a strong sense of smell, mainly to survive. Dogs are about the best animals to train for whatever.

So, how did the ham taste?

 

[Onomea]

Dunno if it's Hoffa, but I think it's credible that a cadaver dog could identify the smell of a body buried 50 years ago.

 

[kozmic]

Scooby Doo has been solving cases for about that long.

 

[tlawler]

Three things that will never be found:

1. Jimmy Hoffa’s body
2. The Oak Island treasure
3. The identity of D.B. Cooper

But that doesn’t impair the efforts of those intrepid souls who continue looking and making TV documentaries about them and cashing in on the profits.

 

[MRB1]

They'll find Amelia Earhart before they find Hoffa.

 

[soFlaNative]

I'll bet Howard Carter had a dog.

 

[WardenRoss]

Never underestimate what a dog is capable of.

Agree on Dogs - QUESTION almost 50 years

Agree that dogs work.

My doubt is because of almost 50 years/

How old of a trail can a Blood Hound track ?

If it's dead Jimmy, this will blow up bigger than who killed JR in the 80's.
So im not holding my breath. This is the kind of news that'll come to you if the dots connect up.
