I recently watched the segment about Yogi the bloodhound and his involvement in finding Alie Berrelez's body. Alie was a five-year-old girl kidnapped and murdered in 1993. There were actually two bloodhounds involved in the search--Yogi and Becky. Neither of them ended up finding her body (police called the search off too early), but they both did some amazing things.

I rarely hear of a tracking dog successfully locating a victim or offender.

Does anyone know of other cases profiled on UM that involved tracking dogs? Did the dogs correctly track the target?

Eagle the cadaver dog was another high-profiled case where a dog was used to trace human scent.

wasn't Eagle the dog whose owner was proven to be a fraud ?Or am I thinking of a different dog?

Yeah, his owner, Sandra Anderson, planted fake evidence for the dog to find and was charged with making false statements to police and fabricating evidence. She only served 21 months in prison and Eagle has since died.
