Person Of Interest ID'd In 'Ms. Puppy' Double Homicide Case

DENVER (CBS4) - Denver police on Monday released new details in the double murder case involving a person known up until this point as only "Ms. Puppy."

Last month police found the bodies of two men in the basement of a home on the 100 block of North Stuart Street. Ronald Thomas Ford, 63, and his life partner, Ramiro "Rome" Sanchez, 55, died from blunt force trauma injuries.

Authorities now say Daryl Rasmussen, 55, is the "person of interest" in the case. He apparently is also a cross dresser and known as "Ms. Puppy." Images of Rasmussen can be seen in the images above provided by Denver police.

Rassmussen lived in the home with the two men. A neighbor told CBS4 he did all the yard work.

Rassmussen hasn't been seen since the bodies of his housemates were found in early February.
