BELLEVUE, Neb. (AP) — A woman and one of her dogs have been found dead inside a Bellevue home where a fire had burned, authorities said.
Kathleen Janus, 73, was found dead around 10 a.m. Thursday, the Omaha World-Herald reported. Police said parts of the inside of the house showed signs of a recent fire. Fire crews also found a dead dog in the home. A second dog belonging to Janus was found alive, police said.
A neighbor found Janus’ body after using a key to enter the home after being unable to reach Janus by phone or by knocking on the door, according to officials.
