UPDATE (November 8, 2024)
A 29-year-old man from Wichita, Kansas was sentenced to life in prison on Thursday for the murder of his cousin, 26-year-old Mandy Rose Reynolds.
A jury convicted Derek Daigneault of shooting and killing Reynolds, whose body was found burning in a field in Robinson on April 5 of last year .
Following officers’ discovery of a dead body on fire, “burned beyond recognition”, a white dog was barking frantically at officers, refused to leave the area of the body, and refused to allow police to capture it.
“The following morning, after the body had been removed, a citizen found the dog sitting at the spot the burning body had been the night before,” the McLennan County District Attorney’s office said.
“That citizen notified Robinson Animal Control, which then discovered that the dog, named Titan, was microchipped and belonged to Mandy Rose Reynolds.”
