According to MDPD Detective Robert Williams, during the last month approximately 18 to 23 cats have been found mutilated and tortured on their owner’s lawns.

Three more corpses were found over the holiday weekend. The Mayor of Palmetto Bay, FL has issued a warning to keep all family cats indoors.

If you see someone who is not from your area, acting suspiciously, call the police and have us go and check them out. That might be the missing link we are looking for,” Williams said.
