The heist of 100,000 eggs from the back of a trailer in Pennsylvania has become a whodunit that police have yet to crack. Four days after the theft that law enforcement says could be tied to the sky-high cost of eggs, no leads have come in. Pennsylvania State Police say they’re relying on leads from people in the community and hoping someone calls in a tip. Police are also following up with any possible witnesses and looking into surveillance footage that could help them identify the perpetrator. Bird flu is forcing farmers to slaughter millions of chickens a month, pushing egg prices to more than double their cost, and it appears there’s no relief in sight with Easter approaching. The average price per dozen nationwide hit $4.15 in December, not quite as high as the $4.82 record set two years ago. The Agriculture Department predicts egg prices are going to soar at least another 20% this year.
