I believe I found the murder. Woke up this morning and about first light looked out the bedroom window and saw something black laying on the lawn where Ber Rabbit was yesterday. 
it was the old black Tom cat that lives in the hollow tree down by the cypress head.
Held a war council with my friend and we decided he's got to go or he'll kill all the small game on this side of the ranch. Next time I look out that window there will be a shotgun in my hands. You betcha.
Go get
a small can of Tuna in oil. NOT the pull ring type
Hammer and long nail
and an old fashion church key.
and a 22 or your scatter gun.
Take the can and go around the side with the church key and punch holes in the lid.
Take the can out into the yard bring the hammer and nail and in one of the key holes drive the nail through the can and into the ground. Open the window and perch the firearm on the window sill and wait.
The tom will find the tuna and when he can no longer reach any of the tuna he will howl and let you know he had his last meal and is ready.
Or you can make it more like hunting a leopard and wire the Rabbit body to the underside of a low branch and set up a blind and wait for him to come in and eat some of the body he left or make him a new one.
