Officials are now saying it was a dog attack that killed a Jeremiah woman last weekend.
On Monday Kentucky State Police said Trina Sandlin had been killed in an apparent animal attack near her home on Doty Creek but did not specify what kind of animal.
The Letcher County Coroner tells the Mountain Eagle her wounds were caused by canines
and most likely dogs, not coyotes.
The paper reports a toddler was attacked by dogs in the same area in April, and when the Letcher County Dog Warden and a deputy went to the dogs’ owner then, they were told they had been put down.
The Coroner says Sandlin’s clothing has been sent to KSP for DNA testing to possibly pinpoint the dog.
