Reward Increases For Information About Dog's Death
JACKSONVILLE BEACH, Fla. -- A reward being offered in connection with a dog killing at Jacksonville Beach is more than what is offered in most murder cases.
Kevin and Brenda Brown said their 4-year-old golden retriever Parker was stolen from their fenced-in yard in July. Two weeks later, Parker's remains were found in a creek, wrapped in a tarp and held down with cinder blocks.
The reward for any information on who did this has increased to $15,000.
"When I discovered him, my first thought was, 'Who could do this?'" Kevin Brown said. "I said it from day one -- if somebody can do that and they're still out there, then we've got an issue in our community."
It seems others in the community are concerned. Louis Stuart is the owner of Larry Teague & Sons Plumbing. He is putting up $5,000 of the $15,000 reward. Carman Peet works for Stuart.
"Mr. Stuart called me Saturday. He was crying. I said, 'What's wrong?' And he told me," Peet said. "Of course, I got online and saw it on the news and he said, 'I'm putting a reward up. This is not right. The poor dog had no say.'"
"We believe the money -- I mean, that's a lot of money -- somebody's going to tell. That's it," Peet said.
"He was treated very badly, but I'm more afraid for the next person, or next animal or next pet," Kevin Brown said. "That's what scares me."
