Nothing but a hound dog

For 10 minutes, a woman heard a man yelling for help Tuesday. And then, it stopped.

She called the Kootenai County Sheriff’s Office.

That led to a search around North Derting Road by KCSO deputies and neighbors by foot and ATV. They checked as close as they could get to the area, but didn’t find anyone, or anything, KCSO reported.

A mystery? Perhaps not. While not confirmed, they discovered a likely reason for the cries for help.

“Deputies later learned there were some men training some hound dogs in the area, and this could have been the source of what she originally heard,” KCSO reported.
