Bright Falls AWE[]
On the night of September 8, after Maurice took Toby for walk, the dog ran off into the woods after hearing a sound coming from the undergrowth.[1] Not long after, Toby sensed the smell of Carl Stucky nearby and excitedly ran to meet him, but as he draw closer he sensed another strange smell coming form the man, which made the dog terrified, before the taken Stucky pierced his head with an ax.[2] His owner would later call the KBF-FM Radio Station during Pat Maine's radio show to let both Maine and his listeners know about the missing Toby, unaware of his dog's ultimate fate.[1]
