~ Original story:
The Manchester Police Department is reaching out to the public in hopes of getting information on the whereabouts of 42-years-old MEGHAN WILLIAMS and 59-years-old ROBERT GERHOLD (both pictured), wanted on fourteen animal cruelty charges.
In October 2022, police responded to a foreclosed house on 312 Seames Drive in Manchester, after receiving a report of abandoned animals. A neighbor told police that he had not seen the owner in at least two weeks and could see multiple cats through a window.
Officers learned that WILLIAMS and GERHOLD had moved out and left behind fourteen cats without any food or water.
Officers "could smell a strong odor of ammonia coming through an open window". Inside the property officers could see "furniture flipped over, torn up, and covered in feces." On the couch, police found many thin cats who did not look well and appeared to be missing fur.
In the corner officers sadly found a deceased cat.
Across several days, Manchester Police Animal Control found and removed ten cats who were suffering from serious health issues. Sadly, officers also discovered a total of four dead cats.
An investigation revealed that WILLIAMS was the home’s owner and that GERHOLD was also living with her at the time.
If you have any information on the couple’s whereabouts, please come forward and do the right thing. Please call the Manchester Police Department at (603) - 668 - 8711. Alternatively, if you wish to remain anonymous, you can and call the Manchester Crimeline at (603) - 624 - 4040. Thank you!
