- Pennsylvania, USA -


The Palmer Township Police Department said that a warrant is out for the arrest of 20-year-old CHRISTOPHER WINCHELL JR. of Elyria, Ohio.

WINCHELL is accused of killing his ex-girlfriend’s cat.


Police said that on March 5, 2025, officers responded to an apartment building in the 500 block of Oakwood Street for a violation of a protection from abuse order.

Upon arrival, officers spoke with the caller, WINCHELL’s ex-girlfriend. The woman told officers that on February 20, 2025, she arrived at the apartment and WINCHELL told her he used a hammer to kill her cat and then disposed of the furvictim’s body in a trash can.


Officers processed the scene and seized the evidence related to the incident.


On March 11, 2025, District Judge Susan Hutnik issued the arrest warrant for WINCHELL who is facing felony aggravated cruelty to animals; misdemeanor cruelty to animals; and misdemeanor possessing an instrument of crime.


If you are aware of WINCHELL’s whereabouts, please call (610) - 759 - 2200 or dial 911 and report his location/physical appearance. Police advise not to approach him.

Investigators say WINCHELL could possibly be traveling back to the Elyria, Ohio area.

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!”

LANEAU HAYES, Doctor of Medicine, arrested after many cats were rescued from deplorable living conditions at a Towns County home

- Georgia, USA -


The Towns County Sheriff’s Office arrested 75-year-old LANEAU HAYES, MD (pictured).


HAYES is an Internal Medicine provider in Blairsville whom according to MediFind has been practicing medicine for over 46 years.


On January 6, 2025, the sheriff's office launched an animal cruelty investigation that involved a property on Old Chicken Farm Road in Young Harris.

Officials found many cats who were living in deplorable conditions.


It all started with a phone call from a concerned citizen to the Blairsville-based nonprofit Whiskers Project.


According to Whiskers Project, the caller had learned from a friend that a house in Young Harris had many cats, individually locked in cages without the ability to roam. The cats were living in their own feces and urine with matted fur.


HAYES is accused of intentionally failing to provide adequate sanitary conditions and ventilation for the cats. During the rescue of the poor souls, officials had to wear face masks due to the intensity of the fumes. It’s unknown how long the poor souls were held in captivity.


Whiskers Project removed all of the cats from the home with the assistance of Commissioner Steve Bradshaw. Commissioner Bradshaw requested the cats be surrendered to Mountain Shelter Humane Society.


Whiskers Project tells me none of the cats were euthanized and they are “doing well and on a low fat diet with [an] exercise program at the local Humane Society.”


Whiskers Project submitted to the Towns County Sheriff’s Office five counts of animal cruelty to five cats against HAYES. According to the nonprofit, the charges include physical pain and mental suffering. As rightfully stated by Whiskers Project, “The offender was in a position of control at the mercy of the animals” and his actions were “intentional and unjustified.”
