Police confirmed Carter Mitchell was murdered at the Stowaway Inn. Mitchell, was in the witness protection program and enroute for relocation. He’d testified against former business partner Benny Rogers who escaped custody following a 25-year sentence for exotic animal trafficking. The victim was discovered in his room slumped behind shredded drapes. Police have not released a cause of death. Due to budget cuts, only one marshal was assigned to Mitchell; he slept in another room during the attack. The night clerk was alerted something was amiss by Gordito, the innkeeper’s Bengal cat who led the clerk to the body.

Gordito might be a giveaway clue as to Mitchell's murderer.

Cats have the best instincts! This sounds like the beginning of a crime/noir short story that I'd love to sit down with coffee and sink my teeth into. :)
