CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (AP) — A former detective testified Monday that a police bloodhound detected traces of a slain University of Virginia student inside the apartment and on the car door of the man charged in her killing. 
 
 According to media outlets, former Louisa County Sheriff's Office Detective Buck Garner also said the bloodhound found 18-year-old Hannah Graham's scent at an industrial site about a mile from downtown Charlottesville. He said the dog alerted him to a scent indicating "fear and adrenaline," suggesting that Graham may have been attacked near a mulch pile at the site. 
 
 The new details emerged in a daylong pretrial hearing for Jesse Matthew Jr., 34, who is charged with capital murder in Graham's 2014 disappearance and death. Prosecutors are seeking the death penalty. 
 
 Matthew also faces first-degree murder charges in the 2009 death of 20-year-old Virginia Tech student Morgan Harrington. He is serving a life prison term for a 2005 attempted murder and sexual assault in northern Virginia. 
 
 Garner testified at length Monday about his involvement in the early days of the Graham investigation working with a 7-year-old bloodhound named Shaker. 
 
 He described following Shaker as the dog traced Graham's scent to Charlottesville's downtown, where she was last seen. Surveillance video from businesses showed Graham walking alongside Matthew. Her remains were found six weeks later on an abandoned property in Albemarle County, about 12 miles from campus. 
 
 Garner testified that Shaker at one point traced a long route east from the Downtown Mall to the industrial site. During a subsequent search, Garner said, Shaker detected Graham's scent on the passenger door of Matthew's vehicle, in the doorway to his home and near a dumpster at his apartment complex. Garner said the dog did not find Graham's scent near other apartments. 
 
 The bloodhound's work provided the basis for police to obtain a search warrant for Matthew's apartment and vehicle. Defense attorney Doug Ramseur unsuccessfully challenged the search warrant in court, arguing that the search dog's findings were inconsistent with witness accounts and video surveillance evidence, that detectives might have misled a magistrate to obtain the warrant and that there was not probable cause for police to conduct those searches. 
 
 Albemarle County Circuit Judge Cheryl Higgins ruled there were no "instances of deliberate misstatements and reckless disregard" of the truth in the affidavit supporting the search warrant and, although the dog's findings may have had inconsistencies, there were other arguments in the six-page affidavit that could constitute probable cause. 
 
 She read some of those points out loud: Witness statements put Graham and Matthew together on the night of her disappearance, at least one witness said she saw the two go to a bar on the Downtown Mall, and Matthew bought them each drinks using his debit card.

 UPDATE: 
 
 Charlottesville, VA - Monday, a judge in Albemarle County heard evidence in the Hannah Graham case. 
 
 The defense filed a motion that the search warrants for Jesse Matthew's car and apartment shouldn't have been granted. 
 
 Lawyers subpoenaed 14 witnesses to appear, but it took well into the afternoon for the court to grant a motion for a hearing to question detective Stuart Gardner, who used his dog to track Hannah Graham starting about 3 and a half days after her disappearance. 
 
 The second witness was Detective Sgt. Mooney. 
 
 He shared Graham's text records, indicating she was lost and wandering around the downtown area the night of her disappearance. 
 
 He also said there's surveillance video of her in different areas, which we've seen, but there are some unexplained gaps in time. 
 
 The first witness, Detective Gardner handled the canine tracking Graham's scent for several days. 
 
 His dog, Shaker, found a very strong scent in a mulch pile around an industrial area, which the detective says translated into fear or adrenaline. 
 
 Detective Gardner says the dog also found Graham's scent at Hessian Hills apartments, at the passenger side door of Matthew's car, the entrance to Matthew's building and at the door frame of his apartment. 
 
 Detective Mooney testified the surveillance video was consistent with the trail of scent the dog found. 
 
 Mooney also said one of the surveillance videos showed a car resembling Jesse Matthew's around the time Graham was wandering eastbound.

 CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (AP) -- A man who has been charged with killing two college students in Virginia is set to appear in court. 
 
 A pretrial hearing for Jesse LeRoy Matthew Jr. is expected to be held on Monday. 
 
 Matthew has been charged with capital murder in the September 2014 disappearance and death of 18-year-old University of Virginia student Hannah Graham, whose remains were found about five weeks after she disappeared. Prosecutors are seeking the death penalty. 
 
 Matthew also faces first-degree murder charges in the 2009 death of 20-year-old Virginia Tech student Morgan Harrington. 
 
 Matthew is serving a life prison term for a 2005 attempted murder and sexual assault in northern Virginia. 
 
 At a hearing last month, a judge approved the hiring of a mental health expert to examine Matthew before his trial.
– A former police bloodhound handler told a court on Monday that during the search for UVa student Hannah Graham, the animal detected her scent outside the car and apartment of suspect Jesse Matthew—and the scent of "fear and adrenaline" where she was allegedly attacked. The handler was testifying during a pretrial hearing where lawyers for Matthew, who is already serving three life terms in prison for a 2005 sexual assault, unsuccessfully challenged the search warrants police obtained for Matthew's home and vehicle, the AP reports. He said the 7-year-old dog, Shaker, traced Graham's scent from downtown Charlottesville to a mulch pile at an industrial site, where the smell of fear was strongest. Matthew, 33, faces a capital murder charge in the 2014 death of Graham, whose body was found on an abandoned property around six weeks after she disappeared. He has also been charged with the 2009 murder of a Virginia Tech student. At Monday's hearing, another police witness testified that, contrary to what the defense claimed, the scent trail was consistent with surveillance videos that showed Graham wandering around, reports WSET. The officer shared text message records indicating that she was lost the night she disappeared.The Washington Post notes that Matthew is seen walking alongside Graham in some of the surveillance videos.
