Police in Wolcott are searching for the person or people responsible for leaving two dead pitbulls inside garbage bags on a walking trail. The dogs were found near Woodtick Road and Boundline Road on Saturday after officers responded to a report of a strong, foul odor coming from the area.
Investigation Ongoing
The investigation remains ongoing, and a $5,000 reward is being offered by Desmond’s Army for information leading to the person responsible. The dogs are being transported to UConn’s Pathobiology and Veterinary Science program for necropsies to help determine the cause of their deaths.
Anyone with information about the dogs is asked to call Detective Tim Jackson, the lead investigator on the case, at 203-879-1414. Police are urging anyone with information to come forward, saying that even the smallest piece of information could help investigators identify the person responsible.
