6 Dogs Tortured and Killed in Crete Township; $5,000 Reward Offered for Tips Leading to Arrest
Officials say bite marks suggest the dogs were used for fighting, and investigators are seeking tips that could lead to an arrest.
- On Monday, Will County State's Attorney James Glasgow discussed the March 3 discovery of six deceased dogs found in trash bags near Norfolk Avenue and Kings Road in Crete Township.
- Examination of the dogs showed they were 9 to 18 months old, weighed 45 to 55 pounds, and displayed "clear signs" of dog fighting, though officials stated they did not die from fighting injuries.
- Glasgow warned that animal cruelty often precedes violence against humans, citing research linking such behavior to serial killers Jeffrey Dahmer and John Wayne Gacy as evidence of public danger.
- First Secure Bank is offering a $5,000 reward for information leading to an arrest, with Jay Bergman urging residents to contact Will County Crime Stoppers at 800-323-6734 for anonymous tips.
- The Will County Sheriff's Office lacks suspects, video surveillance, or uncontaminated evidence from the heavily wooded Crete Township area, leaving detectives reliant on public tips to identify perpetrators.
