More than 100 dead cats found in woman’s freezer
VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. (AP) — Authorities in Virginia say a Virginia Beach woman has once again been found to be in possession of dozens of dead animals.
The Virginian-Pilot reports authorities responding to the home Monday found more than 100 dead animals. Animal Control Supervisor Meghan Conti says the dead animals had been stored in freezers or in a plastic container in the garage, where they decomposed beyond recognition.
Officials also found 24 live cats and a live dog on the property.
“Our hearts go out to the animals inside the home, but they also go out to the resident,” said Conti. “This isn’t just your every day owner, this is someone who really has some concerning problems.”
This isn’t the first time so many dead creatures were found at a home belonging to Lisa D. Ross, who wasn’t immediately reached for comment.
In 2009, Ross’ son was linked to a plot to kill high school students. Authorities searching her home for weapons found 120 cats, half were dead. Similar discoveries happened again in 2012 and 2013.
