Man Accused of Shooting Neighbor's Dog, Dragging Dead Body Behind ATV
When the neighbor dog breaks free and runs into your yard, common courtesy says to politely return it to its owners. Less recommended is the more aggressive strategy apparently employed by a 56-year-old Snohomish man.
Flickr It takes a special kind of creep to want to kill this guy.
Marcie Fairhurst was getting ready to drive her son to school when she saw Molly, her four-year-old retriever-lab mix, running into a neighbor's yard. Next she heard a gunshot. When the mother of four ran to investigate she says she saw Molly lying on the ground, not moving.
Fairhurst claims that when she tried to tend to her family's pet her neighbor bumped her with his four-wheeler. Forced to retreat, Fairhurst watched as he did the unthinkable.
Hogtying Molly by the neck and paws, Fairhurst says her neighbor dragged her dog's lifeless body up a hill and out of sight.
Fairhurst is understandably shocked at the crime. But she says it doesn't come without precedent.
Three years earlier, Fairhurst says Molly came back from another adventure past their property lines with a gunshot wound to her back. Fairhurst says they were never able to figure out who took aim at their dog. Now they say they've got a pretty good idea who might be responsible.
The neighbor was arrested but has since been released. So far no charges against him have been filed.

Did the suspect's appearance resemble that of a Seattle newspaper publisher?
