In this edition of Eyewitness News Extra Time, we detail a violent confrontation with squatters that left a Manhattan homeowner dead.

Police say 52-year-old Nadia Vitel returned to her late mother's apartment in Kips Bay last week for the first time in a few months.

When she entered, two people, who police believe had been staying there for some time, were inside and police say they attacked her. Police say they threw her against a wall, and the impact proved fatal. Then, detectives say they stuffed her body into a duffel bag, stole her car, and drove to Pennsylvania.

Police say her son and neighbor discovered the body a few days later and called the fire department for help.

Meanwhile, this Saturday is National Puppy Day. In celebration of the day, we're analyzing how dogs can bring so much joy into our lives and what we can do to create the best connection with our animals. Part of that is training them.

Joining us with more is dog trainer Tom Davis.
