Tennessee Bloodhound Teams Help Locate Missing Runaway Youths! Scent Evidence K9 was just beginning their scent discriminate training seminar in Lynchburg, TN with Metro Moore County EMS, Franklin County EMA & Rescue, Bedford County Emergency Management Agency, and visiting Lincoln County EMA/Lincoln County VFR when Lincoln Co EMA Director Doug Campbell received a call that 2 youths had run away from home and were missing. Without hesitation, the K9 Search Teams headed to the scene about 30 min. away. Campbell conducted an onsite interview with the teen’s mother as Franklin Co and Metro Moore Co handlers collected scent articles using the SEKR 2 Scent Evidence Vacuum from shoes located in the residence. Zach Means (Moore Co EMS) deployed K9 Hoss first from the place where the youths were last seen disappearing into the woods. Means and Hoss trailed through heavy briars and foliage for over a half mile to a rural residential field and stopped due to the 90-degree temps. Casey Jackson (Franklin Co EMA) and K9 Ellie Mae deployed from where Means stopped and trailed through the woods to a dry creek bed. The TN Bloodhound Team continued trailing for a long distance down the creek and stopped for a quick water break before Ellie Mae exited the creek and continued her determined trailing down the wood line to a rural road before stopping due to the heat. Lincoln Co Sheriff’s Deputies had run ahead of the K9 Team and flushed out the teens who crossed the road where Ellie Mae stopped and ran into a field. The youths were quickly located in the field. The trail was over 2 miles long and took approximately an hour to locate the missing teens.
“The TN EMA Bloodhound Teams regularly work together to support search efforts in their neighboring communities. They utilized their advanced scent discriminate trailing skills and scent collection technology to support Lincoln Co EMA and quickly located the youths in very tough terrain. The deployment was a great example of teamwork by all agencies and their commitment to bringing the lost home,” stated Scent Evidence K9 CEO, Paul Coley.
The training seminar was conducted via the Kevin and Avonte grant awarded to Metro Moore Co EMS to enhance search capabilities in their community. Great trailing and teamwork by our TN EMA partners! To learn more about scent discriminate Bloodhounds visit ScentEvidenceK9.com

SEVERE WEATHER: KNOW THE DIFFERENCE

A severe thunderstorm doesn't have to produce a tornado to be dangerous.

Severe thunderstorms can bring damaging winds, large hail, lightning and flooding. Know
the difference between a watch and a warning so you'll know when it's time to prepare—
and when it's time to act.

ACTION: Have more than one way to receive weather warnings and know where you'll take
shelter before severe weather arrives.
