A lab that analyzed the DNA concluded that the dog was linked to the cat's death, but officials said they still can't make a case because there were no witnesses.
After discovering her cat Cody dead under a tree in front of her home in August, Marylin Christian came to suspect Lucky, a German shepherd mix belonging to neighbors Sean and Janet Daryabeygi.
After authorities said they could do nothing because they needed a witness, Christian went to the Daryabeygis, who gave her samples of Lucky's saliva and fur.
Armed with the DNA test results, she asked the county to declare Lucky dangerous, which would have required the Daryabeygis to carry at least $50,000 in liability insurance, keep the dog locked up at home and muzzle it during walks. Officials declined to do so because no one had seen Lucky kill the cat.
About 10 days after the cat's death, Lucky was found running loose, and Sean Daryabeygi was fined $116. There have been no problems since.
