报道要点

Princeton搜救志愿者Marion Weiskopff与经过气味训练的骡Sonny,参与寻找2023年在亚利桑那失踪的Chelsea Grimm。私人调查人员希望在约400平方公里偏远地区找到线索,先前使用越野车、无人机及搜救犬均未有决定性结果。

背景与影响

Sonny在美国受训并参加过嗅闻比赛,骑乘搜索有助进入人行难达地形。此次它带领人员找到一块女鞋鞋底,但尚不能确认属于失踪者;暴雨泥泞随后令骑乘行动因安全暂停,团队希望天气转干后继续。

仍待确认

Princeton骑乘搜救组有五名受训志愿者,除一般资格外须完成额外60项任务。嗅闻并非该组现行正式认证技能,Sonny此次也是首次因这项能力受邀;报道不证明其已找到失踪者或解决案件。
