Is there a cat killer in Gamerco?

Print

A Gamerco woman came home from the store one afternoon to find that a flier had been posted outside her house saying she poisoned cats.

The woman called Metro Dispatch saying that her neighbor was harassing her.

On June 3, around 3:13 pm, McKinley County Sheriff’s Deputy Jonathan Todachine was dispatched to 102 Ray Ave. in Gamerco.

When Todachine met with the woman she showed him a letter that had been taped to her gate.

The letter said: “100 and 102 Ray Avenue are poisoning animals. They suffer horribly for five days before they die, flies are eating their eyes and tongues before they are even dead. Don’t you even have a soul, poisoning animals is a felony under state and federal law. I did call the police.”

The woman, who lives at 102 Ray Ave. said she left for Safeway that morning around 9:20 am and returned home around 12:55 pm. That’s when she noticed the letter. She showed Todachine multiple photos she’d taken of other fliers with the same message on them that had been posted around the Gamerco area.

The victim stated that she thought her neighbor was responsible, but admitted she had not met the neighbor. She explained that a lot of cats hang around her house.

According to Todachine’s report, he called Animal Control, and they did say they’d picked up a dead cat from 101 Diamond Ave. the day before, but there hadn’t been any signs of poisoning.

It is unknown if this incident is related to the fliers that were put up at 102 Ray Ave.
