The spots where the dogs provided indications there could be human remains were searched first by a team including police and a forensic anthropologist, who sifted through countless buckets of soil. Police regularly brought in the dogs, watched which areas they responded to, then continued to excavate. The process was repeated until investigators determined the soil within the ravine, which they previously described as a large compost pile, had been sufficiently searched. “At the end of the day, I’m pretty confident that we’ve done about as thorough a search as we can possibly do, and hopefully nothing else turns up there in the future,” Idsinga said.
