Thery're not STILL using dogs, are they ?
Police search park with sniffer dogs and X-ray scanners for body of teen mum who vanished 21 years ago
Detectives following tip-off that Nicola Payne could be buried in scrub land
Mother-of-one vanished aged 18 while walking in home town of Coventry
Investigation raises family's hopes for closure
Nicola Payne, who disappeared aged 18 while walking home from her boyfriend's house in 1991
Police have launched a major search for the body of a teenage mother who went missing more than two decades ago after a tip-off that she could be buried in scrub land.
Detectives hunting for Nicola Payne - who vanished on a five-minute walk home from a boyfriend's house - are using X-ray ground scanners and dogs trained to sniff out bodies as they scour the site in her hometown of Coventry.
Notoriously unreliable, of course.

Trust the dogs Jean. If there are any bones to be found, the dogs will find them, even if they are sea-bass bones, wrapped up in old sheets of the News of the Screws and a few left-over chips.

She left his house at midday to walk half a mile and no one saw her?

Nicola Payne: Wood focus in missing mum search
Nicola Payne was last seen near to the Black Pad in Wood End on 14 December 1991 Police investigating the disappearance of a Coventry mother last seen 21 years ago said they had discovered "areas of interest" in woodland being searched.
Nicola Payne went missing from the Wood End area in December 1991. She was 18 and had a six-month-old son.
West Midlands Police began searching parkland off Purcell Road on Tuesday.
Det Ch Insp Matt Markham said: "There are small areas within the wooded section and we'll be making a closer examination to see what they tell us."
The latest search includes the use of specially-trained dogs and ground X-ray and metal detection equipment.
Miss Payne was on her way to her parents' house from the home she shared with her boyfriend Jason Cooke, half a mile away in Winston Avenue, when she went missing.
Excavation plans
Police said reasonable progress was being made with clearing the ground with a view to some excavation work taking place later in the search.
Mr Markham said specialists had been looking at certain trees which would have been saplings at the time of Miss Payne's disappearance.
"These are hurdles for them to overcome but the dedicated team from the Home Office can eliminate areas for us and progress is being made," he said.
Specialists have been clearing the ground with a view to excavating a certain area of the woodland "We're committed to doing a detailed and thorough job, we owe that to Nicola's family and friends and the community of north east Coventry for whom this was a significant event."
Mr Markham said a fresh search had begun following new information that had come to light that warranted further investigation.
Miss Payne was last seen near to the Black Pad in Wood End on 14 December 1991.
In 2007 a man was arrested in connection with her disappearance and released on bail.
No-one has ever been charged in connection with the case.

Nicola Payne: Two arrests in missing mum search
Nicola Payne was last seen near to the Black Pad in Wood End on 14 December 1991 Police investigating the disappearance of a Coventry mother last seen 21 years ago have arrested two men.
Nicola Payne went missing from the Wood End area in December 1991. She was 18 and had a six-month-old son.
West Midlands Police began searching parkland off Purcell Road on Tuesday following new information.
Det Ch Insp Matt Markham said a 74-year-old man and a 45-year-old had been arrested on suspicion of conspiring to prevent the lawful burial of a body.
"I can now reveal that police this morning have arrested two men, local to Coventry, one aged 74, the other aged 45, in relation to an offence in conspiracy to prevent the lawful and decent burial of a body," he said.
He added: "News of these arrests may cause people to reconsider their position and if they haven't so far felt able to come forward with information, then I would urge them to now do so in light of these arrests."
Excavation work
The two men have been taken to police stations in Coventry where they will be interviewed by detectives later.
The latest search has focussed on a section of woodland with specially-trained dogs and ground X-ray and metal detection equipment being used.
Police said reasonable progress was being made with clearing the ground with a view to some excavation work taking place later in the search.
Det Ch Insp Markham said: "We're committed to doing a detailed and thorough job, we owe that to Nicola's family and friends and the community of north east Coventry for whom this was a significant event."
