Her body, pierced by four bullets, was found slumped down in the rear seat of | McErlane’s expensive sedan along an | cutlying avenue. The bodies of her two cogs, also shot to death, were crouched at her feet. Police, pondering the fact that the dogs had also been killed, said they were convinced that McErlane fired the bullets.
