A dog trained to detect dead bodies has been brought in by police to help in the search for a missing young mother.But a police spokesman said that, although Falco, a Belgian Malinois, was a specialist cadaver dog, he would “serve as a multi-function resource” in the hunt for Chavelle Dillon-Burgess.He added: “Investigators have searched a number of different locations since the arrival of the cadaver dog, but so far, without success.The spokesman concluded: “However, we remain resolute in our efforts to bring closure to the family of Ms Dillon-Burgess and we continue to appeal for the public’s assistance in that regard.”The dog was brought in from overseas to assist in the hunt for Ms Dillon-Burgess, whose last known contact with friends or close associates was on April 11.The dog arrived on the island last Thursday and started work soon after.Commissioner of Police Stephen Corbishley announced a $50,000 reward last month for information that “directly links to the finding of Chavelle”.Ms Dillon-Burgess was reported missing by her mother on April 30, about two weeks before her 27th birthday.Ms Dillon-Burgess’s disappearance is being treated as a suspected murder.• Anyone with information can call 211 or the main police number 295-0011.
