Colorado dog breeder found dead, numerous puppies missing
CLEAR CREEK COUNTY, Colo. (KKTV) – A Colorado dog breeder may have been victim of foul play, while numerous puppies have vanished.
The last time anyone spoke with 57-year-old Paul Peavey was on the night of Aug. 19. The Clear Creek County Sheriff’s Office took a missing persons report two days later.
Just before noon on Saturday, now five days after he was last heard from, a search party discovered his remains on his property off of Two Brothers Road.
“His death is being investigated as a homicide,” the sheriff’s office said.
Peavey was a Doberman breeder, and people familiar with his business reported that “many” of his Doberman puppies were gone.
“The puppies’ whereabouts are part of the ongoing investigation. In addition, investigators have not yet determined a motive for Mr. Peavey’s death,” the sheriff’s office said Sunday night in an update on the case.
Anyone with information is urged to come forward by calling the sheriff’s office at 303-679-2393, emailing crime_tips@clearcreeksheriff.us, or submitting info through the sheriff’s office website.
“His death is being investigated as a homicide,” the sheriff’s office said.
