Woof!
In Boone County, Kentucky, investigators followed a digital trail that led them to a where online activity linked to a man suspected of sharing child sexual abuse material (CSAM), previously referred to as child po*******hy.
Alongside the investigative team was a critical partner: Our Rescue-Sponsored Electronic Storage Detection (ESD) K9 Mo.
As the search progressed, K9 Mo continued to alert on a box that had already been searched and set aside.
Rather than dismiss the alert, Mo’s handler, Lieutenant Christian, went back and searched the box again, this time taking a closer look. Inside, they discovered small Bluetooth-enabled devices that had been overlooked during the initial search.
ESD K9 Mo’s find on this case serves as a powerful reminder that devices are becoming smaller and easier to hide.
And what may have been missed on a typical search was discovered because of a special dog’s persistence that brought investigators back to it.
