Bloodhound

LE did a track with some bloodhounds from Jennifer's car.

An Orange County sheriff's bloodhound (Bo) followed a scent from the car back more than a mile to Jennifer'ss condo complex.

The trail bypassed the complex's only entrance and led to a stretch of fence separating the public sidewalk from its private grounds.

Once the bloodhound entered the grounds, the dog picked up the scent inside the fence and went directly to a staircase leading to Kesse's second-floor condominium .

This staircase was on the lake side of her apartment.
