Only in Florida #68545616854132: Serial Cat Killer
| quote: |
| MIAMI, Florida (CNN) -- He was black and white, the perfect gift for the 6-year-old daughter of Donna and Ronald Gleason. His name was Tommy. The death and mutilation of Tommy the cat has been linked to a serial pet killer, say police in Miami, Florida. The death and mutilation of Tommy the cat has been linked to a serial pet killer, say police in Miami, Florida. The black and white tuxedo cat was one of a dozen pets that have been killed and mutilated recently by someone in the Miami area, police said. On Thursday, the list of confirmed cat deaths and mutiliations grew to 19 pets, police said. They are looking into another 14 feline fatalities. The Gleasons do not want their daughter's name to be published. Donna Gleason asked the child to leave the room before telling CNN the gruesome details of what happened to their cat. "Part of his skin was missing underneath ... and part of his legs," Gleason said. "He was partially skinned." Miami-Dade County police say Tommy's demise is part of a string of sadistic feline fatalities that have occurred recently in the Cutler Bay and Palmetto Bay areas of southern Miami-Dade County, south of Miami. Miami-Dade Police spokesman Bobby Williams said two of the cat carcasses were "posed." He said that anyone capable of such cruelty toward and torture of an animal "is disturbed at some sort of level." The crimes began May 13. A reward of up to $10,000 has been offered for any information leading to an arrest. Don't Miss * WPLG: 5 more cats found mutilated Police have been inundated with dozens of phone calls from people who have discovered dead cats throughout the community. Investigators have determined that most of the cases are not related to the string of cat killings. The number grew from 12 to 15 to 19 in just the past two days. Ronald Gleason found Tommy lying in their yard May 25. At first, he thought his family's pet had been killed by a dog, but a closer look revealed the cruelty behind his death. Tommy was a gift for the Gleasons' little girl. She desperately wanted a cat, Donna Gleason said. She searched for a cat that could get along with their dog, but none of the shelter cats they brought home was compatible. "We prayed that we would find a nice cat that liked our dog, and a few days later, he just showed up at our front door," Donna Gleason said. Tommy was adopting them. The Gleasons put signs up in the neighborhood, and when no one claimed him, they kept Tommy. "It's disturbing to know that this happened right in front of your house, while you're sleeping inside," Donna Gleason said. "I'm not terrified, but I'm not sleeping as well as I used to." Others in south Miami-Dade County are telling similar stories. A woman whose Siamese mix cat, Caesar, was killed and mutilated didn't want her name published. "This person killed my cat. He doesn't need to know anything else about me," she said. "I don't know if it's a gang initiation thing or a satanic ritual thing, but to do what he's doing, he has to be extremely sick." The month-long cat-killing spree has police concerned. "We're telling people to be aware where their cats are at. Keep your pets inside," said Williams, the police spokesman. "If anyone looks or acts suspicious, call police," he added. "Have us come out there and check them out. This could be the missing link we're looking for." For the Gleasons and 11 other cat owners, it's too late. All they can do is break the news gently to a little girl who always wanted a kitty. "She loved him and played with him every morning. ... She just misses him," Donna Gleason said. "We told her that Tommy was killed by an animal," she said. Then she added, "Well, an animal did kill him." |

I wonder how many cats get run over or killed by coyotes/other animals compared to this dude.
Someone already posted about this. 
yea it was me.
and it's not a person. they said it was a pack of stray pitbulls. they caught a pitbull in the act, tearing a cat to pieces. it was in that same general area too. that was the last i heard.
i've watched enough law & order episodes to know that serial killers when teenagers usually mutilate animals before moving on to people later in life.

| Sometime after midnight the morning Police arrested 18 year-old Tyler Weinman at a party in Coral Gables for the recent string of horrific cat killings that have plauged Cutler Bay and Palmetto Bay. Weinman, who had attended Miami Palmetto Senior High, is being charged with 19 counts of animal cruelty, four counts of burglary, and 19 counts of improperly disposing of an animal body. True Crime Report points out that at most, the animal cruelty charges carry a punishment of a four-figure fine and five years in prison, though the burglary chargers may put him behind bars for longer. Tyler had two MySpaces (a personal one, and one for music - no that's not his original compisition), a facebook page and was a member of the group "Catch the Cat Killer!" Not to be ridiculously speculative here, but it at least suggests he was aware of the media coverage and strong reaction. What part that might have played in his crime spree and if he enjoyed the reaction, we're not sure. Tylers parents were divorced, and he lived with both - one in Cutler Bay and the other in Palmetto Bay, which explains the geographic reach of the crimes. Both houses had been under surveillance for weeks. Police were put on the trail thanks to community tips. At least four of the killings happened on the street where his mother lived. Though, it hasn't been entirely ruled out he worked alone. At a press conference this morning police spoke like the terror had ended, but there's various reports out there that their may be more arrests to be made. Weinman was arrested on May 29th for possession of cannabis. He had two previous arrests as a minor, but police can't release the details. As for the reaction. Every other comments section we go to contains the occasional reference to the fact that Weinman is a Jewish last name, as well as the requisite "fag" or "homo" (for the record, it seems he had or has a long term girlfriend). A teenager butchering cats is enough reminder of the darkness that can lurk in humans for one day without some needless anti-semitism thrown in. |

| In our small town, it was deemed alright for the dear little kitties to roam freely while Rover had to be tied up. These little dearies decimated an entire population of songbirds and some of their parents who valiantly tried to defend their babies. The dear kitties would carry the screaming crying babies in their mouths, let them go, catch them again - just for fun. While concerned neighbors and mother birds tried to rescue the babies.. ... in vain. Perhaps this youngster witnessed the true nature of these miniature predators and acted accordingly? |
Is this person fucking serious?
