Did the Killer of Idaho College Students Also Murder a Dog?

A mini Australian shepherd was found skinned and mutilated three weeks before the murders of four University of Idaho students. The dog's distraught owners live just three miles from the house where the gruesome stabbings took place. The distance between the murder cases is making some people believe it was the same killer in both crimes. The disturbing new twist comes as police revealed the bodies were discovered by a roommate nine hours after the slayings.
