A sniffer dog trained to detect human corpses homed in on the boot of Casey Anthony’s car and on a patch of grass in front of her dead daughter’s playhouse, a court in Florida heard today.
Gerus, a German Shepherd dog working with Orange County Sheriff’s Department K-9 unit during the search for missing toddler Caylee Anthony in July 2008, indicated that he could smell human death in the back of Anthony’s Pontiac Sunfire car, and at a spot in the garden of her home in Orlando.
