I am sorry
 
I'm sorry for your loss, thats enough to get anyone into chickens upset.Maybe you can set a live trap and see if you can catch the offender.Chances are the critter will be back.
I know its hard when you work hours that don't allow you to secure your girls at dusk. Maybe you can get some kid from around the neighborhood to close your girls up for you around dusk, give him/her a few bucks a week...? Again, sorry for your loss...
