RYAN CARBY arrested - Five dead cats and one alive, but very thin, were found at a Louisville home

- Kentucky, USA -


The Louisville Metro Police Department arrested 23-years-old RYAN CARBY pictured.


The incidents that ultimately led to his arrest date back to June 2022.


According to the criminal complaint obtained by Voice For Us, Louisville Metro Animal Services (LMAS) received a complaint about the potential abandonment of a dog and numerous cats inside a property on 954 Goss Avenue.

Sgt. Sabatini was able to speak to a family member who stated that the animals were not abandoned.


On June 24, 2022, LMAS received another complaint involving the same residence. The complainant reported again the possible abandonment of animals inside the home.

Sgt. Michael McMichael made contact with CARBY who said that the animals were his aunt’s, and that she had passed away two weeks prior. CARBY added that he and his brother, BRYAN CARBY, “were taking responsibility for the cats at the residence”, stated the complaint.

The complaint identified BRYAN CARBY as the co-defendant in this case.


On June 29, 2022, Officer Matthew McKechnie responded to the residence in question to conduct a welfare check on the cats. According to the complaint, “A deceased cat could be seen through the window of one of the bedrooms.”


As Officer McKechnie was walking through the home, CARBY arrived on the scene and Officer McKechnie noticed that the deceased cat he saw through the window had been removed.

Additionally, Officer McKechnie noticed that another deceased cat had also been removed from another area of the residence. Officer McKechnie and Officer Goodman reported that they witnessed CARBY “walking back to the residence, carrying the two deceased cats, wrapped in cloths.”


Officers also found a cat, identified as Jasmine in the complaint, who was very thin, had severe hair loss, and a flea infestation. According to the complaint, Jasmine was supposed to be in the direct care of the CARBY brothers after their aunt died.


LMAS took custody of Jasmine.


Throughout the residence, three severely decomposed bodies of cats were discovered in addition to the two ones that CARBY attempted to hide. The bodies of those two cats, who had been deceased for three to eighteen months, were sent to the University of Kentucky for necropsy.


In the criminal complaint, LMAS Lt. Adam Hamilton stated that the CARBY brothers failed to provide a clean-living environment, food, water, or vet care to a cat.


The animal cruelty charges that RYAN CARBY is facing refer to the cat who was left deceased on the windowsill.


It’s unclear whether additional charges are pending. Furthermore, the complaint does not mention any dogs found in the property. I have emailed LMAS to inquire about that and if I receive a response, I will post an update.


RYAN CARBY was arraigned on Friday, October 13, 2023. Online arrest records show he is no longer in custody.

TIERNEY MAZHEE DRAPER arrested after she cruelly starved her dog to death

Updated: Oct 26, 2023

- Tennessee, USA -


The Memphis Police Department arrested 21-years-old TIERNEY MAZHEE DRAPER (pictured).


According to the police, on October 12, 2023, DRAPER took her 2-year-old black Labrador retriever to the Humane Society, and an employee of Memphis Animal Services noticed that the dog was so malnourished and underweight to the extent that his/her bones were showing.


Police were called in. Sadly, the Voiceless Victim died in the parking lot before getting a chance to enter the shelter to be examined and treated.


The responding officer made contact with DRAPER and she said that she had had the dog for almost a year. DRAPER went on to say that the dog had not been fed since August because she could not afford to buy food.

According to the affidavit obtained by Voice For Us, DRAPER “advised that she knew something was wrong with the dog but did not seek medical help for the dog due to the possibility of a veterinary bill.”


DRAPER was arrested and charged with one felony count of aggravated animal cruelty. Online arrest records show she was released from the Shelby County Jail on October 18, 2023.


Authorities did not disclose additional information about the furvictim. I took the liberty of naming him/her Lotus for the tribute image. Should his/her given name be made public, I will rectify it accordingly.

GEORGE BERNARD BENYARD wanted by the Boulder County Sheriff’s Office for killing a dog

- Colorado, USA -


The Boulder County Sheriff’s Office announced that on October 5, 2023, an arrest warrant was issued for 28-years-old GEORGE BERNARD BENYARD.


In a press release, the sheriff's office said that BENYARD “is alleged to have knowingly and needlessly killed one of his pet dogs then attempted to conceal his actions by tampering with physical evidence.”


According to the release, the sheriff’s office launched an investigation on September 15, 2023, at a property in the 10800 block of Empire Road. Deputies and detectives learned that BENYARD had told acquaintances that the bathroom of his residence on Empire Road was a “murder scene,” he showed them a picture “of a very bloody bathroom”, and then described having killed someone at his home, along with soliciting help in disposing of the body.


The sheriff’s office said that given the severity of the alleged offense and the belief that BENYARD had access to firearms and other potential weapons, the Boulder County SWAT Team served a search warrant on September 18, 2023.


While investigators remained at the property to begin processing it for evidence, BENYARD and his wife were brought in for questioning.


During the initial search, investigators found three dogs in the home and they were placed into protective custody at the Humane Society of Boulder Valley.


According to the release, while processing the scene, investigators discovered the body of an adult Pitbull “secreted under a bush on the property.”


Additionally, investigators found blood on the scene and with the assistance of the Colorado Bureau of Investigation, it was determined that the blood was not human so detectives with the Boulder County Sheriff’s Office were able to rule out a homicide.


Meanwhile, a necropsy was performed on the deceased Voiceless Victim and results showed that “the dog had been recently killed, neither by accident nor by another animal, and had suffered several traumatic injuries”, stated the release.

Through digital evidence, investigators were later able to determine that “the dog had very likely belonged to Benyard, though he denied having any knowledge of the dog’s existence or how it was killed”, said the sheriff’s office.


On October 5, 2023, the lead investigator obtained an arrest warrant for the arrest of BENYARD for the charges of Aggravated Cruelty to Animals and Tampering with Physical Evidence, both of which are class 6 felonies.


The sheriff’s Office said that BENYARD’s whereabouts are unknown at this time and investigators have been actively trying to locate him since the warrant was issued by the courts.


Authorities did not disclose the name of the deceased furbaby, so I took the liberty of naming him/her Blossom for the tribute image. Should his/her given name be made public, I will rectify it accordingly.
