Federal investigators are looking into connections between trained fighting dogs bred by a man found shot to death in rural North Carolina and the dogfighting operation headed by suspended NFL quarterback Michael Vick.
The sheriff investigating the North Carolina killing said he plans to pursue links between the dogfighting groups to see if they can answer any questions in the unsolved homicide. But for now, federal investigators are the ones searching the shooting victim's records for more evidence that might implicate Vick and other members of Bad Newz Kennels in interstate dogfighting, the sheriff said.

"Everybody we've talked to -- his friends, his business associates -- say he made sure he knew his visitors before he allowed them in the door," Huffman said.
In addition to more than 30 pit bulls found at his home, deputies found large amounts of cocaine and large sums of money, the sheriff said.
"That's unusual, to have a homicide like that with no robbery," he said. "What's the motive?"

Now we know how Michael Vick got busted. Nothing quite like having your name in a Dead Guy’s Rolodex, next to notations of all kinds of illegal activity, to attract the attention of the authorities.

As has been noted repeatedly throughout this ‘saga’ with Vick and killing dogs for personal entertainment....the step from killing animals to killing humans is actually a very small one.
A sociopath is a sociopath, is a sociopath.
I don’t know if Vick had anything to do with this...but after all we’ve seen and heard, nobody would be surprised at this point.

Anything even resembling dogfighting is going to follow Vick around.
Vick needs to make another donation to Jackson and get a mob created for him.

He still may have better numbers than Rex Grossman!
