St. Paul girl find dog's head gift-wrapped in box

ST. PAUL (AP) - A 17-year-old girl who spent weeks looking for her missing dog was horrified when she unwrapped a box left on her doorstep and found her dog's severed head inside.

Homicide investigators were looking into the case because of the "implied" terroristic threat, St. Paul Police Sgt. Jim Gray said. The Humane Society of the United States said Wednesday that it was offering a reward of up to $2,500 for information leading to an arrest and conviction.

"This was extraordinarily heinous," said Dale Bartlett, the Humane Society's deputy manager for animal cruelty issues. "I deal with hundreds and hundreds of cruelty cases each year. When I read about this case, it took my breath away. It's horrible."

Sending the dog's head to the teen was malicious, Bartlett said.

"That level of depravity is beyond belief," Bartlett said.

After Crystal Brown's 4-year-old Australian shepherd mix wandered away last month, she peppered the neighborhood with "missing" posters, and went door to door looking for him. She called the St. Paul animal shelter and rode the bus there several times.

"I felt empty," Crystal said. "I couldn't talk to anyone. He was my dog. It was just me and him. ... I told him everything and he never shared any of my secrets."

Two weeks ago, a gift-wrapped box was left at the house Crystal shares with her grandmother. The box had batteries on top, and a note that said "Congratulations Crystal. This side up. Batteries included."

Crystal opened the box and found her dog's head inside. The box also contained Valentine's Day candy.

Crystal screamed when she saw her dog's face.

"She was just hysterical," said Crystal's grandmother, Shirley Brown. "She was screaming. She said, 'Grandma, it's my dog's head.'

"I said, no it can't be."

Authorities say the case is an isolated incident and the suspect likely knew the family. A motive is unclear.

"This was so cruel," Crystal said. "This is one sick, twisted person."

They did catch the guy the other day. It was her ex-boyfriend. Appartently he used a chainsaw to decapitate the poor dog and the event was recorded on his cell phone. What a sick fuck! They said the max sentenence he could get was 4 years in prison.

4 years....sweet dancing Moses with the Motown backup singers. Too bad he didn't have a joint on him, that would have gotten him 7.

Yeah, or didn't pay off silly fines, the government hates not getting their money. Sounds like the guy was a loser, probably couldn't have gotten another girlfriend, that's ok because he'll have one in prison.

Why the fuck would you want to know the gory details of such a sick fucking act? It's not terribly hard to figure out, but it makes me want to puke to even think about it. I can give you his name if ya really want to know, it was stated in the news up here, you can give him a call and ask details. Maybe you two could become buddies. :mad:
