Man charged with murder of Colorado dog breeder as 10 puppies missing

Sergio Ferrer, 36, charged over death of 57-year-old Paul Peavey, whose 10 doberman puppies have not been found

Authorities investigating the murder of a Colorado dog breeder believed searching for his 10 doberman puppies might lead them to the perpetrator. But on Friday, officials said, they had charged a suspect and are now hoping this development will also help them locate the missing dogs, which are still unaccounted for.

Paul Peavey, a 57-year-old resident of Idaho Springs, Colorado, was found shot to death on 24 August - days after he had been reported missing by friends and family - by a search party combing through his sprawling 110-acre property.
