CARLSBAD, N.M. (AP) - The mysterious deaths of felines with the same injuries are drawing the attention of Carlsbad police.
The Carlsbad Current-Argus reports that the police found this week the body of a third cat at Bryan Circle Park.
Police said the cat was found with a gunshot wound and, like the previous two, the animal had its internal organs removed.
Police suspect the animals are being killed at other locations and having their internal organs removed before they are disposed of in the area around the park. Police suspect the three cases are linked due to the similar nature of the killings.
