Cadaver dog's crucial role in hunt for body

"police drafted in a "cadaver dog" to help with the search for Suzanne Pilley's body.

The springer spaniel called Buster was said to have once located a body under 9ft of water and found signs that were of "interest" in the basement area of Gilroy's work at IML, in Thistle Street, Edinburgh.

Constable Simone Thompson, of South Yorkshire Police, said the dog reacted at a number of areas in the garage and an internal staircase. The body was thought to have been hidden in a recess under the stairs.

It also showed interest in the boot of Gilroy's car, despite it reeking of cleaning fluid or air freshener bought by Gilroy the day of the killing.

The High Court was told victim recovery dogs, are trained to detect the smell of blood or the gases given off by a body."

Buster comes from South Yorkshire Police where Eddie & Keela worked. Oh Dear how are Kate & Gerry going to Mcspin this one?

With great difficulty Gillyspot Who'd have thought in 2007 we'd be hearing of cadaver dogs being used in high profile cases on an almost a monthly basis?

And we'd have two men in prison, Adrian Prout* and David Gilroy both jailed for murder without a body being found where cadaver dogs were used, both with positive alerts?




*Adrain Prout later confessed to murder.
