The police dog that caught one of Australia's most wanted fugitives: David Raymond Pt. 1
Description
In this episode of I Catch Killers, Gary Jubelin sits down with retired Queensland police dog handler David Raymond, who spent 36 years in the job, 26 of them in the Dog Squad.
Together with his dog Vader they apprehended over 160 fleeing offenders and Vader became known as David's "super dog." Together they tracked offenders across remote Queensland, completed 7-8km tracks, and saved lives, including finding a young woman in near a crocodile-inhabited river.
David breaks down his most infamous catch: Graham Potter, a convicted murderer on the run for 12 years, found hiding behind plywood on a bunk bed in a squalid house in Ravenshoe. He also shares the stories behind his other dogs, plus what it really takes to train and trust a police dog over a 14-week course and a decade on the road.
