## Resource

Meet Splash, a Florida otter turning detective—one sniff, whisker sweep, and murky-water dive at a time. Trained to find human remains and criminal evidence underwater, this pint-sized pro has already pulled off nine critical recoveries, including two key pieces of evidence and seven sets of remains. His whiskers? A natural sonar system that works where visibility fails. Working hand-in-hand with search-and-rescue leader Michael Hadsell, Splash is helping solve cold cases and bring closure to grieving families. Hadsell’s pushing for standardized otter training and courtroom-admissible protocols, aiming to turn Splash’s success into a scalable force. Water may have been a hiding spot for criminals—but not anymore. One otter, one recovery, one justice at a time. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
