13News now knows why a planned search of Michael Vick’s former property for dead dogs was called off.

An investigator close to the Surry case says investigators decided to hold off on the search because they wanted to throw all their resources towards interviewing an informant.

Investigators are meeting with that informant on Wednesday. It is believed the individual may have information on who was present during the alleged dog fights.

Once that interview is complete, they again may ask to search the property, though there are no such plans right now.

Tuesday the Commonwealth's Attorney said he had problems with the wording of the original search warrant.

“The sheriff and I didn't like the language of the affidavit,” said Commonwealth’s Attorney Gerald Poindexter.

In the search warrant, investigators said reliable sources knew about seven pit bulls being killed two days before the raid.

They also had information about 30 dogs reportedly buried in the backyard.

According to dog fighting investigator John Goodwin, who is not working on this case, Surry County investigators likely have a number of witnesses.

Goodwin says it is likely in the best interest of investigators to search the property. He says the cadavers could prove to be smoking guns.
