He had many call-outs for grave sites, tips for locations of Caylee. That's why from small no. of searches to 71 that year.

TrialNotes Trial Notes
In two instances, looked like recent shallow graves, small child size. Gerus alerted on neither; they were dug, were animals.

#caseyAnthony Didn't know Gerus was trained to smell bodies underwater until right now.Interesting.Too bad he didn't search "the" area early

Objection overruled. Judge will allow the video to be played. Since it's 20 mins long, he gives jury stretch break first. #CaseyAnthony
