TWO SLAIN, ONE MISSING IN “ANIMAL ATTACK”

WESTBROOK—Investigators from the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office on Thursday said that the deaths of two women found brutally slain at the Saleen Regency Hotel now appear to be the result of an animal attack, and not a human attack as first believed. According to Deputy Chief Victoria Flint, preliminary reports indicate that injuries sustained by Margaret Murphy, 24, and her sister Amanda Murphy, 20, are consistent with that of a large animal, although the Coroners Office has not completed the final autopsy report.

“We don’t know what [type of animal] could have done this, and to that end we are enlisting help from the University of Nebraska Medical Center,” Flint said.

The two sisters were found about 10 a.m. last Tuesday in their hotel room by cleaning personnel. A third sister, Tess Murphy, 17, was confirmed to have checked into the room, but her whereabouts remain unknown.

“We haven’t received any tips,” Flint said. “We are doing canvasses of the area, talking to witnesses, and hoping for the best. That’s all we can do at this point.”

Asked about the lack of forced entry, Flint admitted that it was “bizarre,” but declined to speculate on possible scenarios.

Community reaction has been vengeful.

“They need to find this animal and kill it,” said Josh Bucket, an area businessman. “Anything that can tear up two young women like that and drag off a third shouldn’t be allowed to live.”


Okey-doke! That's it for this one...I liked doing the research for this. The form of epilepsy, although never connected with lycanthropy, is real. My next story will involve...well, you'll see. It's going to be written in the style of P.G. Wodehouse.
