Cadaver search

For the past couple of weeks I've been involved in an extensive search for a suspected murder victim. The search for the body was intensive and covered several large areas. During one search we located a femur and evenutally the rest of the body. Only problem, it wasn't the one we were looking for. Jokingly, the detective in charge of the case told me; you guys sure know how to mess up a good murder investigation. At any rate, the reason I tell the story, the suspect confessed and drew a map of where he dumped the body. The body has been recovered. I was pleased on two accounts; 1. finding the body brings closure to the family and hopefully secures the suspects fate, 2. we didn't miss it. It was in an area 60 miles from where we had searched. All in all, it was a good search for the dog. We didn't miss anything (that we know of), didn't have any false positives and had an actual find. I did find out however, I'm just getting too damned old for sloggin' through the woods over hill and dale.
