Two Rancho Cucamonga K-9s Locate Missing Woman Who Fell 200 Feet Down Steep Ravine in Inland Empire — K-9 Naji and K-9 Keva Track Scent Half a Mile to Find Her Calling for Help

RANCHO CUCAMONGA, CALIFORNIA — Two Rancho Cucamonga Police Department K-9s were credited with tracking and locating a vulnerable missing woman who had fallen 200 feet down a steep ravine over the weekend. K-9 Naji initially picked up the woman’s scent before K-9 Keva continued following the trail down a nearby horse path, ultimately diverting down a ravine approximately half a mile into the search where deputies heard the woman calling out for help.

Missing Vulnerable Woman Fell 200 Feet Down Steep Ravine

The woman at the center of the search had fallen 200 feet down a steep ravine, leaving her stranded and unable to self-rescue from the dangerous terrain. Rancho Cucamonga Police Department deployed K-9 units to assist in locating the vulnerable missing woman, whose exact location was unknown to searchers when the tracking effort began.

The steep and difficult terrain of the ravine made the search challenging for human responders alone, making the scent-tracking capabilities of the K-9 units a critical component of the successful rescue operation over the weekend.

K-9 Naji Picks Up Scent — K-9 Keva Follows Trail Down Horse Path

The search unfolded in two distinct K-9 phases. K-9 Naji was the first to pick up and track the missing woman’s scent, initiating the trail that would ultimately lead searchers to her location. K-9 Keva then took over the tracking effort, following the scent down a nearby horse trail as the search pushed deeper into the terrain surrounding the ravine area.

The coordinated relay between K-9 Naji and K-9 Keva demonstrated the trained tracking capabilities of the Rancho Cucamonga Police Department’s K-9 unit, with each dog contributing a critical phase of the scent tracking that made the rescue possible.

K-9 Keva Diverts Down Ravine — Deputies Hear Woman Calling for Help

Approximately half a mile into the search, K-9 Keva diverted from the horse trail and headed down into the ravine, a move that proved decisive in locating the missing woman. As Keva led deputies into the ravine, they heard the woman calling out for help, confirming her location and allowing rescue personnel to reach her at the bottom of the 200-foot drop.

The successful location and rescue of the vulnerable missing woman was directly credited to the tracking instincts and trained abilities of K-9 Naji and K-9 Keva of the Rancho Cucamonga Police Department. Stay with GordonRamsayClub.com for the latest updates and detailed coverage.
