The murder of a Texas woman, whose dead body was found burned beyond recognition, was solved, in part, thanks to her dog.

Derek Daigneault, 29, was sentenced in connection with the grisly murder of his cousin Mandy Rose Reynolds, 26, in April 2023.

Mandy Rose Reynolds, 26, was found "dead beyond recognition" in April 2023. Her dog helped police identify her and her killer Derek Daigneault.

Titan, a white Labradoodle, refused to leave his owner’s side even after she was fatally shot and her body was burned.

A loyal dog that refused to leave his dead owner's side helped solve the case of her murder by allowing detectives to identify her body, prosecutors said.

The victim's dog refused to leave her side, allowing authorities to identify her body, which was burned beyond recognition.
