Scent Picked Up In Dumpster

I'm trying to at work catch up to the latest Haleigh news- last night I knew they were using cadaver dogs to search through those woods near her house, and this morning it was updated that cadaver dogs alerted a scent coming from some dumpster:

A dumpster has drawn the attention of investigators looking for a missing Florida girl.
Search teams sifted through the dumpster of yard waste in hopes of finding a trace of five-year-old Haleigh Cummings. She has not been seen since she vanished from her father's trailer in Putnam County more than two weeks ago.
Authorities say they're searching the dumpster near Haleigh's neighborhood because a cadaver dog alerted them to a scent inside it.

Cadaver dogs were brought into the area around Haleigh Cumming's home to search for her body.
Family members say the search is like a double edged sword. They want officials to keep searching, but they want them to find her alive.

Dogs like Eli had been called together from all over the area by the group "Canine South". The dogs are from South Georgia, Duval, Marion and other counties and are all owned by their handlers and specially trained to look for human remains. Eli is the only search dog from Duval County. His owner is an off duty patrol sergeant. Eli trains 10 hours a week for the job.
Eli is the only dog out of 7 in the area today. The search will wrap tomorrow with about a dozen dogs on the scene.

WHAT? Mother dissapears??
