On September 24th, police arrived at a Fullerton, California, home to find two children, aged six and nine, waiting for them on the porch in terror. Inside, the bodies of the girls' parents, along with a family friend, lay dead. Jennifer Goodwill-Yost, 39, her husband Christopher Yost, 34, and their friend Arthur "Billy" Boucher, 28, had all been killed inside the house. Jennifer Yost's 17-year-old daughter Katlynn was reported missing. Three days after the deaths, police arrested 21-year-old Joshua Acosta and 25-year-old Frank Felix. Katlynn – who had been friends with Acosta until recently, when her family made her break off contact with the older man – was recovered safely by the police. The story soon attracted national attention, after it was revealed that Jennifer and Katlynn were part of Southern California's furry subculture – dedicated fans of anthropomorphized animals who typically flock to cartoons and fan fiction depicting adorable animals that walk on two feet – as were the two men arrested for the murder.

Yeah, I kind of buried the lead there. But why should it be the lead anyway? Would it be any different if those involved were all poker players? Quilters? Statisticians? This article is pretty sympathetic towards the furry community as a whole, but I'm not sure why it should even be mentioned.
