The adorable dog can also be found with fellow victims Maddie Mogen and Xana Kernodle. The girls reportedly lived a happy college life while sharing a six-bedroom house along with Dylan Mortensen and Bethany Funke, the two survivors of the incident of horror.
The clips, which remain on social media as memories of the slain students, feature the roommates dancing in Halloween costumes and imitating each other for spoof TikTok videos on their house parties, as per the DailyMail.
As per the outlet, the police department recorded a gruesome skinning and killing of another dog just three weeks before the killings. However, they have not considered it as a potential clue in the murder investigation which has received much criticism.
"I can understand the local cops don’t want to spread fear amongst a local community already on edge, especially considering no suspect, no motive or no murder weapon have been identified, but to convincingly rule it (the dog killing) out seems a very interesting and somewhat rash decision," a source told RadarOnline calling their assessment a "rush to judgment." "It’s been long established that individuals who have the capability of killing four people in this manner start their killings on animals. Dahmer. Bundy. Berkowitz. This is a red flag, and it shows murderous traits. These are serial killer tendencies. Police owe it to the community to explain how they can unequivocally dispel a link between these two instances," the insider, who is close to the investigation, revealed to the outlet.
The Moscow Police Department is refusing to reveal any suspects or whether they believe the killer was someone known to the girls and had been inside their house before, or if it was a complete stranger who had been stalking them.
