I volunteer with a group of folks who assist our local sheriff's dept with missing persons searches and disasters. I've worked with our bloodhound handler and his dog on several occasions. We get requests to help in other counties, even other states. Two years ago we assisted with a search for a guy who had disappeared 10 days earlier near a Marina. The dog went directly to a retaining wall. On the other side we found whiskey and beer bottles. He next went to the boat dock and alerted that the body was in the water near the dock. The next day the bloodhound was put in a boat and alerted in the same general area. He isn't really trained for that type of thing so they bought in a couple of cadaver dogs which are and they confirmed the same. This was in another state, but we informed the local LE where the body likely was and advised divers search the area. For what ever reason they didn't, but the body floated up 2-3 days later.
