Quesnel, B.C. – RCMP in Quesnel continue to  follow leads in the case  which saw two  dogs that had been stolen  during  a break and enter, later found dead  off the Nazko Highway.

Constable Krista Vrolyk says a necropsy on the  two  dead boxers,  failed to show any visible signs of trauma. While a full toxicology scan has not been done, it is believed the animals had likely died of carbon monoxide poisoning.

The two animals were among four dogs that had been stolen  from a  Matthews Road home  on December 13th, 2013.

Passing motorists found one of the dogs, a Boxer,  wandering off the Nazko highway.  The driver stopped and retrieved that dog,  then followed tracks  which led  them to the  carcasses of the other  two  dead Boxers. 

The fourth dog, a  Dachshund, has yet to be located.
