Bloodhounds are also independent, a key trait for searches. “When it gets to be a difficult search they don’t look to you for help, that they go forth themselves,” Heck said.Bad weather confounded the hunt for Hardin, who was serving a 30-year sentence for murder when he escaped from the prison in Calico Rock, Arkansas.

The hound found - then lost - Hardin’s scent when heavy rains blew through the area, said state prison spokesman Rand Champion. Hardin was tracked for less than a quarter of a mile when the bloodhound lost the trail.

Authorities in Arkansas are looking into whether a job in a prison kitchen allowed a convicted killer and former police chief to escape.

“He thinks that the evidence in this trial has been challenged very forcefully and that many of the complainants’ stories have been torn apart,” Aidala said after court Thursday.But “there is a part of him that is seriously contemplating whether — in a he-said, she-said case — human beings feel obligated to hear the other side of the story,” the attorney added.
