I have covered many mass killings. None have been this mystifying:
• 4 students fatally stabbed in early morning
• 2 others in home but not suspected
• 1 victim made 7 calls starting at 2:26 a.m.
• 911 not called for hours
• No suspects 1 week laterhttps://t.co/IyCCcsm9v2— Mike Baker (@ByMikeBaker) November 20, 2022
A Bernese Mountain Dog named Max, who belongs to her neighbor Clint Hughes, tore up his bed on the same day that Colbert’s dog was discovered dead near both of their houses in an area near a shed with overgrown grass. Max is a fluffy Bernese Mountain Dog.
He stated that “you could tell it just wasn’t an animal that did it,” adding that “it was plainly done with a knife.” “You could tell it just wasn’t an animal that did it,” he said.
2015 was the year when Moscow experienced its final homicide. After more than a week has passed after the tragedy, and the entire town is on edge since the police still do not have any suspects and have not recovered the weapon.
