SEARCH REPORT<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Personal Profile<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I am a &#8216;retired&#8217; police officer, formally a senior instructor at the South<br>Yorkshire Police dog training establishment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I have 35 years experience in the training of dogs both within the police<br>service and in the public sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I specialise in the development and training of specialist search dogs to<br>include narcotics, explosives, currency, human remains, blood and semen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I am the Special Advisor to The U.S. Department of Justice, Federal Bureau<br>of Investigation, in relation to their Canine Forensic Program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I am a U.K.A.C.P.O. (Association of Chief Police Officers, England and Wales)<br>accredited police dog training instructor. I am a Subject Matter Expert in<br>forensic canine search and on the N.P.I.A. (National Policing Improvement<br>Agency) Expert Advisers database.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I advise Domestic and International Law enforcement agencies on the<br>operational deployment of Police Dogs in the role of Homicide investigation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I develop methods of detecting forensically recoverable evidence by the use<br>of dogs and facilitate training.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I am regularly deployed to homicide cases within my portfolio and form a<br>&#8216;Specialist Canine Homicide Search Team&#8217; including the S.A.M dog teams<br>from Dyfed Powys and USA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I have trained and handle two operational specialist search dogs:<br>&#8216;Eddie&#8217; is a 7-year-old English Springer spaniel dog who is trained as an<br>Enhanced Victim Recovery Dog (EVRD).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8216;Keela&#8217; is a three-year old English Springer spaniel bitch who is trained as an<br>Human blood search dog (C.S.I. dog).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>OPERATION TASK CANINE DEPLOYMENTS 1-8 AUGUST 2007<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the instruction of The PJ Director, The Portuguese police kept all search<br>records concerning the deployment of the search dogs. All dog searches were<br>recorded by video.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The following searches were conducted:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Five apartments at a complex in Praia Da Luz.<br>Mr. Murat&#8217;s property at Pria Da Luz.<br>Mr. McCann&#8217;s Villa at Pria Da Luz ( Present occupancy).<br>Articles of clothing from Mr. McCann&#8217;s residence.<br>Western beach Pria da Luz.<br>Eastern Beach Pria Da Luz.<br>10 Vehicles screened at Portimao.<br>CANINE SEARCHES AT FIVE APARTMENTS AT PRIA DA LUZ.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All five apartments were searched using the EVRD. The only alert indications<br>were at apartment 5a, the reported scene.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The EVRD alerted in the:<br>Rear bedroom of the apartment in the immediate right hand corner by<br>the door.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Living room, behind sofa.<br>Veranda outside parent&#8217;s bedroom.<br>Garden area directly under veranda.<br>My observation of the dog&#8217;s behaviour in this instance was that the dog&#8217;s<br>behaviour changed immediately upon opening the front door to the apartment.<br>He will normally remain in the sit position until released and tasked to search.<br>On this occasion he broke the stay and entered the apartment with an above<br>average interest. His behaviour was such that I believed him to be &#8216;in scent&#8217;<br>and I therefore allowed him to free search without direction to allow him to<br>identify the source of his interest. He did so alerting in the rear bedroom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I released him from this and tasked him to continue to search. He did so<br>alerting in an area to the rear of the sofa in the lounge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The dog&#8217;s behaviour for these alerts led me to the following opinions:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>MINISTERIO PUBLICO DE PORTIMAO<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The first alert was given with the dogs head in the air without a positive area<br>being identified. This is the alert given by him when there is no tangible<br>evidence to be located only the remaining scent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The second alert was one where a definitive area was evident. The CSI dog<br>was therefore deployed who gave specific alert indications to specific areas<br>on the tiled floor area behind the sofa and on the curtain in the area that was<br>in contact with the floor behind the sofa. This would indicate to the likely<br>presence of human blood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The forensic science support officers were then deployed to recover items for<br>laboratory analysis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There were no alert indications from the remaining properties. I did however<br>see the dog search in the kitchen waste bins. These contained meat<br>foodstuffs including pork and did not result in any false alert response.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>CANINE SEARCH OF MR MURAT&#8217;S PROPERTY.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The property was subjected to a search for human remains or blood stained<br>articles. The outside of property was stripped of vegetation and after the<br>ground being probed was searched by the EVRD dog. The inside of the<br>property was then searched by the dog. There were no alert indications and<br>no human remains were located.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>CANINE SEARCH OF MR McCANN&#8217;S VILLA, PRESENT OCCUPANCY.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The villa interior, garden, and all property within were searched by the EVRD.<br>The only alert indication given was when the dog located a pink cuddly toy in<br>the villas lounge. The CSI dog did not alert to the toy when screened<br>separately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is my view that it is possible that the EVRD is alerting to cadaver scent<br>contamination. No evidential or intelligence reliability can be made from this<br>alert unless it can be confirmed with corroborating evidence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>BOXES OF CLOTHING 1 PROPERTY FORM MR McCANN&#8217;S RESIDENCE.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At a suitable venue numerous boxes of clothing 1 property taken from the<br>McCann present residence were screened using both the EVRD and the CSI<br>dog. The venue was screened by both dogs prior to introducing clothing \/<br>property. Neither gave an alert indication. The screening then took place with<br>the contents of each box being placed around the room in turn. The process<br>was recorded by video and written records were taken by PJ officers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The only alert indication was by the EVRD on clothing from one of the boxes. I<br>am not in possession of the details as these were recorded by the PJ<br>officers present.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>MINISTERIO PUBLICO DE PORTIMAO<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is my view that it is possible that the EVRD is alerting to &#8216;a cadaver scent&#8217;<br>contaminant. No evidential or intelligence reliability can be made from this<br>alert unless it can be confirmed with corroborating evidence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>WESTERN BEACH<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The beach above the waterline was searched. This extended to areas of<br>fallen rock and the cliff face as far as the dog could negotiate the incline.<br>There were no alert indications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>EASTERN BEACH<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The beach above the waterline was searched. This extended to areas of<br>fallen rock and the cliff face as far as the dog could negotiate the incline.<br>There were no alert indications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>CANINE VEHICLE SEARCHES.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ten vehicles were screened in an underground multi storey car park at<br>Portimao. The vehicles, of which I did not know the owner details, were<br>parked on an empty floor with 20-30 feet between each. The vehicle<br>placement video recording and management of the process was conducted<br>by the PJ. The EVRD was then tasked to search the area. When passing a<br>vehicle I now know to be hired and in the possession of the McCann family,<br>the dog&#8217;s behaviour changed substantially. This then produced an alert<br>indication at the lower part of the drivers door where the dog was biting and<br>barking. I recognise this behaviour as the dog indicating scent emitting from<br>the inside of the vehicle through the seal around the door.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This vehicle was then subjected to a full physical examination by the PJ and<br>no human remains were found. The CSI dog was then tasked to screen the<br>vehicle. An alert indication was forthcoming from the rear driver&#8217;s side of the<br>boot area. Forensic samples were taken by the PJ and forwarded to a<br>forensic laboratory in the U.K.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is my view that it is possible that the EVRD is alerting to &#8216;cadaver scent&#8217;<br>contaminant or human blood scent. No evidential or intelligence reliability can<br>be made from this alert unless it can be confirmed with corroborating<br>evidence. The remainder of the vehicles were screened by the EVRD without<br>any interest being shown. Therefore the CSI dog was not further deployed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>MINISTERIO PUBLICO DE PORTIMAO<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>SUMMARY<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The tasking for this operation was as per my normal Standard Operating<br>Procedures. The dogs are deployed as search assets to secure evidence and<br>locate human remains or Human blood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The dogs only alerted to property associated with the McCann family. The dog<br>alert indications MUST be corroborated if to establish their findings as<br>evidence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Therefore in this particular case, as no human remains were located, the only<br>alert indications that may become corroborated are those that the CSI dog<br>indicated by forensic laboratory analysis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My professional opinion as regards to the EVRD&#8217;s alert indications is that it is<br>suggestive that this is &#8216;cadaver scent&#8217; contaminant. This does not however<br>suggest a motive or suspect as cross contamination could be as a result of a<br>number of given scenarios and in any event no evidential or intelligence<br>reliability can be made from these alerts unless they can be confirmed with<br>corroborating evidence.<br>Vol IX p. 2478<br>CADAVER AND HUMAN BLOOD DETECTING DOGS<br>SEARCH ASSET PROFILES<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>LICENSING AND ACCREDITATION<br><\/strong>U.K., A.C.P.O. licensed and accredited cadaver dogs are trained and licensed<br>on the basis of the relevant section of the Police Dog Training and Care<br>manual. This involves the training of G.P. (General Purpose) dogs to alert to<br>the presence of surface deposition and sub-surface deposition to<br>approximately 2 feet. The dogs are deployed on long lines to search an area<br>in large numbers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The U.K. has also approximately six Police dog teams that have been trained<br>exclusively on decomposing pig remains not for human consumption as<br>specialist dogs to work off the leash to locate human remains in a wider<br>variety of scenarios. Pig is used as it has been proven in training and<br>operationally over the last 20 years to be a reliable analogue for human<br>remains detecting training for dogs. The possession of human remains for the<br>purpose of training dogs in the U.K. is not acceptable at this point in time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Licensing is derived from anecdotal cases and is scenario based conducted<br>over a period of a week, twice annually, it is conducted utilising independent<br>A.C.P.O. authorised assessors. Continuation training is conducted on a dialy<br>basis and includes simple scent discrimination testing to large scale scenario<br>based exercises.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Both dogs and I are licensed as two separate working teams. We are<br>independently tested and licensed annually, normally at six monthly intervals<br>as a &#8216;rolling&#8217; programme to ensure best practice is maintained. They are<br>tested to units of assessment prepared as a stand-alone system as these<br>dogs are unique. Training records are maintained and are available if<br>required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All operational deployments are video recorded including a control sample<br>find when appropriate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Vol IX p. 2479<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>TRAINING<\/strong><br>The dog, a scavenger, uses its olfactory system to locate food sources,<br>identify its young, other pack members, enemies and predators over large<br>distances. It can track its prey identifying a direction of travel. This entails the<br>dog being able to discriminate the time difference between footsteps using the<br>sense of smell. The reward of food and protection \/ close comfort provides the<br>basis for a system to be adopted where the dog shows a willingness to<br>respond in response to the reward. We are thereby able to &#8216;train&#8217; the dog<br>using conditioned responses to stimuli. Repetition and reward then ensure<br>efficiency. Positive and negative reinforcement then shape the required<br>behaviour in their role. Within the role of these dogs they are utilising basis<br>survival instinct but have undergone behaviour shaping to alert the handler to<br>their finding as opposed to consummation. Pavlov&#8217;s theory is used in the<br>case of the E.V.R.D. system of alert. He has been &#8216;conditioned&#8217; to give a<br>verbal alert when coming into contact with &#8216;dead body scent&#8217;. The presence of<br>tangible material is not required to produce the response merely the scent<br>itself. Pseudo scent is an artificially chemically produced product that its<br>manufacturers claim to resemble &#8216;dead body scent&#8217;. Although some cadaver<br>dog trainers have had limited success with its use in training, when tested on<br>my dogs they showed no interest and it is not used as a training aid for them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In my role as advisor to the U.S. Justice Department I have facilitated<br>assessment of numerous cadaver search dog teams in the United States.<br>These dogs are exclusively trained using human cadaver sources. When I<br>introduced decomposing pig cadavers into training assessments 100 % of the<br>animals alerted to the medium. (The products were obtained from whole piglet<br>cadaver not processed food for human consumption). The result from<br>scientific experiments and research to date is suggestive that the scent of<br>human and pig decomposing material is so similar that we are unable to &#8216;train&#8217;<br>the dog to distinguish between the two. That is not to say that this may not be<br>possible in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>CADAVER SCENT<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The odour target of cadaver is scientifically explained through &#8216;volatile organic<br>compounds&#8217; that in a certain configuration are received by the dog as a<br>receptor. Recognition then gives a conditioned response &#8216;ALERT&#8217;. Despite<br>considerable research and analytical investigation the compounds cannot as<br>yet be replicated in laboratory processes. Therefore the &#8216;alert&#8217; by dogs without<br>a tangible source cannot be forensically proven at this time. Cadaver scent<br>cannot readily be removed by cleaning as the compounds adhere to surfaces.<br>The scent can be &#8216;masked&#8217; by bleach and other strong smelling odours but<br>the dog&#8217;s olfactory system is able to isolate the odours and identify specific<br>compounds&#8217; and mixes. Cadaver scent contamination may be transferred in<br>numerous scenarios. Any contact with a cadaver which is then passed to any<br>other material may be recognised by the dog causing a &#8216;trigger&#8217; indication.<br>Vol. IX p. 2480<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>EVRD<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8216;Eddie&#8217; The Enhanced Victim Recovery Dog (E.V.R.D.) will search for and<br>locate human remains and body fluids including blood in any environment or<br>terrain. The initial training of the dog was conducted using human blood and<br>stil born decomposing piglets. The importance of this is that the dog is<br>introduced to the scent of a decomposing body NOT FOODSTUFF. This<br>ensures that the dog disregards the &#8216;bacon sandwich&#8217; and &#8216;kebab&#8217; etc that is<br>ever present in the background environment. Therefore the dog would<br>remain efficient searching for a cadaver in a caf\u00e9 where the clientele were sat<br>eating bacon sandwiches. He has additionally trained exclusively using<br>human remains in the U.S.A. in association with the F.B.I. The enhanced<br>training of the dog has also involved the use of collection of &#8216;cadaver scent&#8217;<br>odor from human corpses using remote technical equipment which does not<br>contact the subject. This method is comparable to the simulation of cross<br>contamination. It does however differ in that the remote scent samples<br>recovery does not involve subject matter and therefore is a &#8216;pure&#8217; scent<br>sample. The dog has since initial training gained considerable experience in<br>successfully operationally locating human remains and evidential forensic<br>material.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The E.R.V.D. has successfully in training and in operational casework located<br>Human cadaders, whether in the whole or parts thereof, deposited surface or<br>sub-surface to a depth of approximately 1 metre shortly after death (though<br>precise times are not determinable) to the advanced stages of decomposition<br>and putrefaction through the skeletal. This includes incinerated remains even if<br>large quantities of accelerant have been involved. The dog has successfully in<br>training and in operational casework located a human cadavers in water either<br>from the bank siade or when deployed in a boat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The dog has also been trained to identify cadaver scent contamination where<br>there is no physically retrievable evidence, due to scent adhering to pervious<br>material such as carpet or the upholstery in motor vehicles. This may be<br>achieved by the dog being deployed directly to the subject area or by scent<br>samples being taken by remote means on sterile gauze pads. The gauze<br>pads are then &#8216;screened&#8217; in a line &#8211; up formation with the inclusion of a number<br>of control samples and blank sterile pads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The dog will alert to the presence of cadaver scent whether it is at source or<br>some distance away from a deposition site. This enables the use of the dog to<br>identify the venting or exhaust channels of the scent through fissures in<br>bedrock or watercourses. A geophysical survey of the area will then reduce<br>the size of the search area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The dog may be used to screen clothing, vehicles or property in a suitable<br>environment. This is completed in a scent discrimination exercise where<br>controls may be included to increase assurity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Vol IX p. 2481<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>FALSE ALERTS<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8216;False&#8217; positives are always a possibility; to date Eddie has not so indicated<br>operationally or in training. In six years of operational deployment in over 200<br>criminal case searches the dog has never alerted to meat based and<br>specifically pork foodstuffs designed for human consumption. Similarly the<br>dog has never alerted to &#8216;road kill&#8217;, that is any other dead animal.<br>My experience as a trainer is that false alerts are normally caused by handler<br>cueing. All indications by the dog are preceded by a change in bahaviour.<br>This increased handler confidence in the response. This procedure also stops<br>handlers &#8216;cueing&#8217; and indication. The dogs are allowed to &#8216;free search&#8217; and<br>investigate areas of interest. The handler does not influence their behaviour<br>other than to direct the search.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>STU MACHINE<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I have developed the training of the E.V.R.D. to include the screening of scent<br>pads taken from motor vehicles, property or scenes by a Scent Transference<br>Unit. Operational use of the STU is in a developmental and evaluative stage<br>used in conjunction with selective FBI casework. The unis is in a two-part<br>design. The main body is a battery operated electrical device that draws air in<br>at to the front and exhausts through the rear. There is no &#8216;re-circulation&#8217; of air<br>within the unit. The second part is a &#8216;grilled&#8217; hood that fits to the main body. A<br>sterile gauze pad is fitted into the hood. When operated, the STU draws air<br>through the hood and the sterile gauze pad and exhausts through ports to the<br>rear. &#8216;Scent&#8217; is trapped in the gauze, which may then be forensically stored for<br>use within scent discrimination exercises.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The STU is cleaned following use in such a manner that no residual scent is<br>apparent. This is checked by control measures where the dog is allowed to<br>search a given area where the STU is secreted. Any response by the dog<br>would suggest contamination. Tests have shown that the decontamination<br>procedures are effective in this case with the dog NOT alerting to the device<br>when completed. Use of the STU is considered when subject vehicles,<br>property, clothing, premises are to be forensically protected from<br>contamination by the dog, and for covert deployment. At all other times best<br>practice would be for the dog to be given direct access.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>EVRD OPERATIONAL CASEWORK EXAMPLES<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Northern Ireland, UK<br>A missing person, last seen returning from church, on foot, in N. Ireland. The<br>search of suspects &#8216;burnt out vehicle&#8217; by forensic scientists did not reveal any<br>evidence. A search by the E.V.R.D. identified a position in the rear passenger<br>foot well where the dog alerted to the presence of human material. A sample<br>was taken and when analysed revealed the victims&#8217; DNA. The enquiry then<br>concentrated its efforts on the suspect and the E.V.R.D. located the body of<br>the woman in a river bank deposition site. Further searches identified a<br>Vol. IX p. 2482<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>location where the E.V.R.D. alerted in the front bedroom of the offenders<br>empty next door dwelling house. When interviewed the suspect admitted that<br>the body had lain in the room for 1 hour prior to disposal. Forensic teams<br>were unable to extract any forensic evidence despite being shown the exact<br>position.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wiltshire, UK<br>A female was abducted by her ex-boyfriend. Intelligence suggested that her<br>ex-boy friend had taken her to his house. A search by the EVRD of the house<br>resulted in small blood stains being alert indicated and forensically confirmed<br>as her blood. The suspect, a builder, was in possession of a van. This was<br>searched and the EVRD dog alerted to a &#8216;wacker plate&#8217;, spirtit level, and<br>shovel. A site was identified where the suspect had been working. The EVRD<br>then located the body deposition site in an area of a garbage base that had<br>been prepared by the suspect. He had returned with the dead girl, dug a<br>grave in the centre, placed the body in the hole, replaced the spoil and then<br>used the shovel, wacker plate and spirit level to return the ground to its<br>original state.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Devon, UK<br>A female was abducted and her whereabouts were unknown. The suspect<br>was a bus driver. An initial search by the E.V.R.D. alerted at a location near<br>to a sighting of the suspect in suspicious circumstances. A forensic search at<br>the alert location revealed a small button off of the girls clothing in long grass.<br>The offender confessed to the murder and confirmed her body had been<br>initially temporarily placed at the dog&#8217;s alert location.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cornwall, UK<br>A woman was reported missing by her partner. A search of the suspects<br>house by the EVRD was conducted who indicated on the living room carpet.<br>No forensic evidence was recovered. Subsequently a diary written by the<br>suspect was alert indicated by the dog. The diary had written extracts that the<br>offender had laid the victim on the carpet whilst dead, the diary had in fact<br>been written by the suspect having handled the body. This was confirmed by<br>the offender in interview.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>New Mexico, U.S.A.<br>A witness reported having seen two men walk off into brush land carrying a<br>spade and a corpse. The area was searched with the EVRD with no<br>indications being forthcoming. Other assets were utilised and the body was<br>found: buried at a depth of 8 feet, under the water table, 3 feet of cement and<br>5 feet of earth replaced on top the corpse that was wrapped in cling film.<br>There being no scent available to the dog to receive there was no forthcoming<br>Vol IX p. 2483<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>CSI HUMAN BLOOD DETECTING DOG<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8216;Keela&#8217; The Crime Scene Investigation (C.S.I.) dog will search for and locate<br>exclusively human blood. She will locate contaminated weapons, screen<br>motor vehicles and items of clothing and examine crime scenes for human<br>blood deposits. She will accurately locate human blood on items that have<br>been subjected to &#8216;clean up operations&#8217; or having been subjected to several<br>washing machine cycles. In training she has accurately located samples of<br>blood on property up to thirty-six years old.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In order for the dog to locate the source the blood must have &#8216;dried&#8217; in situ.<br>Any &#8216;wetting&#8217; once dried will not affect the dog&#8217;s abilities. Blood that is<br>subjected to dilution by precipitation or other substantial water source prior to<br>drying will soak into the ground or other absorbent material.
