Dog With A Bone

Dog With A Bone

A dog comes home with something in her mouth. Not a stick. Not a ball. A human skull. For more than a year, Chicarin, a German Shepherd mix in Center Point, Alabama kept bringing bones home. A skull. A tibia. Long bones left as gifts in the front yard. Investigators put GPS trackers on the neighborhood dogs. The Jefferson County Coroner ran DNA. Slowly, piece by piece, a picture emerged. The bones belonged to Curtis Taylor Jr., a 25-year-old legally blind man who vanished from his family's home in February 2024. His family filed a missing persons report. Searches turned up nothing. Then a dog found what investigators couldn't. He'd been shot. His death: ruled a homicide. His killer: still unknown. This week on Six on Your Side Investigates, host Jenn Horton takes you inside the 18-month investigation and the latest on the family dog who did what no one else could: bring Curtis Taylor Jr. home.
