The Beast Within

“As far as we can tell it was a man walking his dog that scared off the perp. The dog started to go crazy according to his owner, yanked the leash out of his hand and set off running toward there,” she pointed to a small stand of trees that stood in front of the brick wall that ran the length of the park. “The dog was howling and barking, and the man went after him because he thought there might be a feral dog his pet was chasing. He says he got about ten yards from where the victim was found when someone burst out of the trees, ran like hell down the side of the wall to the gate and climbed over it. The dog gave chase while the owner went to see what the man was doing. His first thought of course was that he was assaulting some female. He saw the victim and called 911. Luckily for the vic the EMTs got here within five minutes.”


“Do we have any description of the killer?”
