CHARLOTTE COUNTY – A missing 17-year-old was quickly found in freezing temperatures thanks to the teamwork of Cpl. Steven Sella and K-9 Zoe, a trained bloodhound from the Charlotte County Sheriff\u2019s Office.<\/p>\n
The search began after the teenager fled a supervised residence on Feb. 1. With temperatures at 32 degrees, urgency was key. K-9 Zoe picked up the scent and led the team through nearby streets toward a park.<\/p>\n
As the search continued, an aerial drone spotted movement near the park. K-9 Zoe and deputies coordinated efforts, and the teenager was safely located near a gazebo.<\/p>\n
Cpl. Sella, a seasoned handler, and K-9 Zoe demonstrated the power of collaboration between scent detection and drone technology.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"CHARLOTTE COUNTY – A missing 17-year-old was quickly found in freezing temperatures thanks to the teamwork of Cpl.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":142226,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[14],"tags":[209,211,210,853,11648,22523,17723,68981,68980,36376,54410],"class_list":["post-142225","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-cape-coral","tag-cape-coral","tag-cape-coral-headlines","tag-cape-coral-news","tag-charlotte-county","tag-charlotte-county-sheriffs-office","tag-collaboration","tag-corporal","tag-drone-technology","tag-industrial-and-organizational-psychology","tag-k9","tag-teamwork"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/142225","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=142225"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/142225\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/142226"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=142225"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=142225"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=142225"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
