KATHIO TOWNSHIP, Minn. — Investigators seem to be getting closer to finding the person responsible for hitting and killing a doctor near Lake Mille Lacs late last year.

New warrants reveal that investigators suspect a dark grey Tesla Model X belonging to a 42-year-old Edina man may have been involved in the incident that killed Dr. Cathy Donovan. The warrants requested permission to search the man's Tesla as well as his cell phone.

Donovan was struck on the 40000 block of Highway 169 in Kathio Township around 5 p.m. on Nov. 13. The 56-year-old was walking her two dogs — Flash and Sunny — at the time of the crash, one of whom was also killed. The only possible debris located from the crash was a windshield wiper near Donovan's body, police say.
