Suspect(s) Unknown - We need your help!

On March 31, 2006, the Thompson family's sheltie, Mickey died from poisoning, the third incident in a rash of animal cruelty cases in Bartlett that police say are probably unrelated. After an examination, the vet said Mickey's blood analysis showed all the classic signs of anti-freeze poisoning, including critically high levels of sodium and calcium.

Because of geographical distance, modus operandi and other factors, police don't think the current rash of animal cruelty incidents are related. However, BPD is continuing to receive leads on the Bartlett Crimestopper hotline.
