The dog could smell her, but he couldn’t find her.

The scent of Taylor Marie Behl, a missing Virginia Commonwealth University freshman, was one of two scents that were picked up by a Louisa County police dog brought in Saturday night to search her recovered car.

The other scent produced what police chief Rodney Monroe described as a “successful track,” which produced several leads that investigators were aggressively pursuing last night. Monroe would not say what the dog discovered or where its nose led investigators.

But the lead was a sign of further progress in the intensive criminal investigation into the disappearance of the 17-year-old Vienna girl, who has not been seen or heard from since leaving her dorm room two weeks ago on Sept. 5.

Because she was reported missing to authorities Sept. 7, police have conducted extensive interviews with family and every known friend and acquaintance in the teen’s extensive social circle. It extends from her life in Vienna — attending Madison High School and working at the local Starbucks — to the skateboarding scene at a local VCU watering hole, to a large network of Internet contacts.

Monroe said the fact that Behl has not been in contact with anyone since her disappearance makes it a “strong possibility” that she is in trouble, increasing urgency of the investigation with every day that passes.
