Summary

Calgary police are turning to an unexpected ally in their search for missing persons: pigs. Equipped with GPS trackers, pig cadavers are being used to map how bodies drift in the Bow River, revealing critical data on currents, depth, and surface patterns. This innovative, low-risk method—already used by researchers across Canada—aims to dramatically improve recovery efforts and bring faster closure to grieving families. If you spot something unusual near the river, it’s likely part of this vital science. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
