SALINA, Kan. (AP) — Authorities say the live-in boyfriend of a woman found shot to death, along with her two dogs, has been arrested on suspicion of murder. The Saline County Sheriff’s Office says deputies were called Monday evening to the home just a couple of miles south of Salina to check on the well-being of a person there and found 50-year-old Laurie Leanne Likins and two dogs dead. All had been shot. Deputies arrested 55-year-old Brent Allen Spainhour, who also lived at the home. He was being held without bail in the Saline County Jail on suspicion of first-degree murder and animal cruelty.
