A team of expert tracker trainers is in the valley this week, working with local law enforcement officers and search-and-rescue members. On Wednesday, they were to work on a staged murder near Columbia Falls. Instead, some members wound up going to the Glacier Mountain Shadows-Western Inn to use their skills in a real investigation.

Flathead County Sheriff's deputy Tom Snyder is coordinator of search and rescue for the county. He invited Joel Hardin, professional man-tracking instructor from Everson, Wash., and his expert team to teach the fine points of tracking in a three-day training.

Hardin, Snyder said, "is probably the best man tracker in the U.S."

Among his instructors were the person in charge of King County's major homicide unit, the president of the North Idaho Trackers that were involved in the Coeur d'Alene triple homicide Groene investigation, and a member of military Special Forces.
