Once you get a dog started killing, eating chickens, you don't stop. After hearing of the murders, some residents have been trying to protect themselves. One elderly woman, Ellen Smith, who lived near two of the victims, recently learned to shoot. She has been practicing at the shooting range. He's getting better or cleaner on his murders.
Many people think that someone from the town is the culprit.
Columbus police have been tracking down hundreds of leads. City prosecutor Dennis Harmon, Jane's husband, said Columbus has a long history of mysterious deaths. There was one young man - there was a hole in the back of his head when they found him in the water. The hole was ruled a crawfish hole and that it somehow was a suicide in the water. Harmon wonders if some of the bodies turning under odd circumstances might in fact be victims of foul play.
