In a world where answers often seem out of reach and mysteries linger in the shadows, there are those who dedicate their lives to bringing closure to families, solving cases that have long gone cold, and providing hope when it feels all but lost. Bloodhound Man-Trackers is one such beacon of hope. Founded in 2014 in Colorado, this nonprofit organization has brought together the power of highly trained bloodhounds and a devoted team of volunteers to help solve some of the most challenging cases in law enforcement. Their mission is simple yet profound: to bring the missing home, offer answers to grieving families, and give closure to the lost.

At the heart of this effort is Brian, a dedicated public servant with over 18 years of experience in law enforcement and firefighting. He brings his expertise to the team, working alongside three K9s: a Labrador trained for arson detection, a German Shepherd for cadaver recovery and a bloodhound for tracking and trailing.

Brian’s work with Bloodhound Man-Trackers has taken him across 11 states, where he and his K9s assist law enforcement agencies in tracking down missing persons, recovering clandestine graves, and solving cold cases. Despite the organization being entirely volunteer-run, Brian and his team dedicate countless hours to training and responding to cases—often for families who have been waiting for years for answers.

What stands out most about Bloodhound Man-Trackers is the sense of community it fosters. In every case, local volunteers and neighbors come together to assist in the search, demonstrating the power of a united community. These collective efforts, along with the work of the dogs, help bring people home and provide closure in ways that are deeply meaningful. be solved.

For their dedication to the community and Life Changing actions, Brian Eberle-and Bloodhound Man-Trackers will receive the Life-changing Hero organization of the Year award at the American Red Cross Rocky Mountain Heroes Soirée on Saturday, May 3, 2025.
