 An FBI cadaver dog reacted to the scent of a dead person inside the Kansas City home where a baby girl disappeared nearly three weeks ago, according to a police affidavit released Friday.

The affidavit was filed to support a search warrant request for the home of Deborah Bradley and Jeremy Irwin, who reported their 10-month-old daughter, Lisa Irwin, missing Oct. 4 and said someone must have crept into the home and taken the girl while the mother and two other boys slept.

The affidavit said the dog taken into the house Monday indicated a "positive `hit' for the scent of a deceased human in an area of the floor of Bradley's bedroom near the bed." A judge approved the warrant Tuesday and police and the FBI conducted a daylong search Wednesday. Read more;

This bad news supports the growing consensus the the mother is somehow responsible for the babys' disappearance and probable death.

Now the questions only seem to be; Was it an accident and did the father know, or have anything to do with what happened?

Cadaver dogs are useful tools but they're far from 100% reliable and I don't see that they uncovered any additional evidence at all by this article. It isn't a big stretch to assume it's a false-positive when there's nothing brought to light to support the hit. Are we really determining the guilt of folks soely by the opinion of animals now?

I have heard of an experiment done with drug search dogs that revealed they will alert just as much to a meat sent as they will to drugs and sometimes they will not alert to drugs at all.

I do hope they find out what has happened to the child.

Let's hope they call the dog to the bench as a witness.

"Now, Officer Sparky, it says here that you are a 'good boy'. But isn't it true that on August 21st you were reprimanded for chewing-up a perfectly good pair of Isotoners? Bark once for 'yes' and twice for 'no' and I'll remind you again that you're under oath. Yes you are! Yes you are..."

It's horse fewmits folks; in tests, drug dogs were show to react to the desires of their handlers much more accurately than to jobs. Anyone who has ever worked dogs knows that they are far from perfect.

Dogs are also very eager to please their masters and will do things just to get praise. If they know a certain action will get them praise or a treat, they will do it. Cant blame them. I wanna be my dog in my next life. I could get treats just for doing the same stupid trick over, and over, and over, and... :)

Don't diss the dogs folks. I have worked with many types of these dogs and have not seen them to make many mistakes.

I, for one, if trapped in a collapsed building would hold out longer knowing that a specially trained "search and rescue dog" is going to find me before a human being finds me.

I have worked with search and rescue teams, and also Police K-9 tracking dogs, and they are very accurate.

These dogs go through rigerous training procedures over many many months before having their talents utilized in the field.
