- North Carolina, USA -


The Henderson County Sheriff’s Office arrested 47-year-old STACY ANN ROSE (pictured).


On March 5, 2025, Detective Moore and Deputy Leahy responded to a report of three Saint Bernard dogs running at large in Horse Shoe.


After catching the dogs, officers noted that they were in poor condition and contacted their guardian, ROSE. Officers then accompanied her to her residence for further investigation.


As reported by the sheriff’s office, ROSE is listed on the Henderson County registry for having more than ten dogs “which allows for inspections of her property.”


Upon arriving at the home, ROSE led officers to a shed where the three dogs had been kept in deplorable conditions, with feces covering the floor, said the sheriff's office.

Sadly, officers also discovered seven dead dogs in trash bags, “most showing signs of severe decomposition”, stated the release.


ROSE surrendered the three Saint Bernards before officers searched inside her home where they found more dogs being kept in similar conditions to the shed.


Deputies then obtained and executed a search warrant which led to the discovery and rescue of fifteen dogs, The sheriff’s office said ten dogs were in the home and five in the backyard.


ROSE was placed under arrest and charged with fifteen felony counts of animal cruelty, seven misdemeanor counts of failure to bury deceased canines, three misdemeanor counts of animal cruelty, and misdemeanor resisting public officer.


At her bond hearing a magistrate set bond at $126,500. ROSE has since been released and according to court records, her next court appearance is slated for April 15, 2025, at 8:45 a.m.


Henderson County Sheriff Lowell Griffin expressed gratitude for the department’s Animal Enforcement team and all those who assisted “as we continue to remain vigilant in ensuring the safety and well-being of all animals in Henderson County”, he said.


I reached out to the sheriff’s office PIO, Stephanie Barbosa, to inquire about the dogs, and I was told: “At this time, all the information about the case that we are able to release is available on our social media platforms. No further details will be provided in order to preserve the integrity of the investigation pending adjudication in court.”

ROBERT JAMES LUTHER III arrested after two cat heads were found in a box on a homeowner’s mailbox

- Florida, USA -


The Lee County Sheriff’s Office announced the arrest of 37-year-old ROBERT JAMES LUTHER III (pictured), of Bonita Springs.


On March 13, 2025, deputies were called to a home in the 25000 block of Carnoustie Court after the homeowner made a “disturbing discovery”, stated the release by the sheriff’s office.

The homeowner found a box on top of their mailbox containing two severed cat heads.


Due to the nature of the incident, the sheriff’s office Animal Cruelty Task Force was called to assist detectives on the scene and an investigation established LUTHER as a potential suspect.


According to the press release, state-of-the art technology, including license plate readers was used to examine the scene, and detectives were able to establish LUTHER “was in the area where the crime was committed around the same time.”


Later that day, LUTHER was located fishing in the area of Corporation Circle behind a closed business. The sheriff’s office said LUTHER “invoked his rights” and refused to speak with detectives while being questioned.

Detectives, however, found further evidence linking LUTHER to the crime, including “disturbing cell phone videos” in which LUTHER “[makes] mention” of and “depicts” the deceased cats.


LUTHER was booked into the Lee County Jail on two counts of aggravated animal cruelty and two counts of aggravated stalking.


At the time of writing, online records show that the murderer is still in custody and is scheduled to be in court on April 14, 2025, at 8:30 a.m..


Lee County Sheriff Carmine Marceno said: “Heinous violent acts, especially toward innocent animals, is beyond unacceptable and any offender will face severe consequences to the fullest extent of the law. The combined efforts of multiple units ensured this sick individual got locked behind bars before he could hurt anyone else. From the initial call taken by dispatchers, to the investigative work performed by 4th Precinct Patrol Deputies and Crime Section Detectives and the Animal Cruelty Task Force—this outcome was a success!”

SHANE LAWSON TANNER JR arrested after many dogs were found to be living in horrific conditions

- Georgia, USA -


The Coffee County Sheriff’s Office arrested 27-year-old SHANE LAWSON TANNER JR (pictured), of Douglas.


On the afternoon of March 4, 2025, a deputy responded to a home on Elzie Anderson Road following an animal cruelty call. Upon arrival, the deputy could hear multiple dogs barking inside the home and was overwhelmed by a strong smell of feces and urine.

The deputy then called Animal Control for assistance.


The homeowner gave the deputy and the ACO permission to enter the residence. Once inside the home, officers found eight small dogs living in appalling conditions. The Voiceless Victims were surrounded by piles of trash, feces and urine. The deputy reported that all the windows were closed and described the odor as “rancid.”


According to the deputy, the dogs appeared to be malnourished and questioned the homeowner about them. The homeowner, TANNER’s father, explained that he had been paying his son to care for the dogs but failed to do so. He also added that although he had been buying food for the dogs, his son would just give them a little amount. TANNER’s father went on to say that his son never took the dogs outside and never cleaned up after them.


Animal Control removed all of the dogs and TANNER was arrested on cruelty to animals charges. He was booked into the Coffee County Jail and released after posting bond.
