Julie Jones' excitement grew as she followed her tracking dog, Quincy, through a busy interstate area of Russellville.
The pair were just off I-40, on the south side of Exit 84.
Clearly, Quincy had picked up John Glasgow's scent.
Glasgow, a 45-year-old business executive, disappeared from his Little Rock home Jan. 28. He had been missing for three weeks when the dog picked up his trail.
Just ahead of Jones and Quincy, another tracking team already had hit on the same scented path.
As Jones' dog led her into a Phillips 66 gas station, Sarah Platts' canine team was charging determinedly through a Comfort Inn - from the first-floor rooms and broken ice machine on the motel's back side up to the only working ice machine on the second floor.
Next, they took Platts to a nearby Waffle House, where an employee already had told police about a customer in the second booth to the left of the counter.
