  • Update - The Pet shop Owner's Accomplice has been Caught as well.


    From AP News
    ------------
    A man accused of helping a Las Vegas pet shop owner torch her store with 27 puppies inside has been arrested in Indiana.

    An FBI spokeswoman in Chicago says Kirk Bills was arrested Friday night in Crown Point, Ind., by its Violent Crimes Task Force.

    Prosecutors say security videos show Gloria Eun Hye Lee and a man torching Lee's Prince and Princess pet store on Jan. 27.

    Lee was taken to jail Friday after a judge raised her bail from $40,000 to $310,000 after prosecutor Shanon Clowers filed additional charges.

    She is charged with 31 counts of arson, conspiracy, burglary and attempted animal cruelty.

  • A person capable of cold blooded killing like this, coupled with her history, will sooner or later escalate to doing the same to humans.
  • She definitely should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. Anyone with a pet shop that can do this was only in it for the money and not the love of animals. When I saw those little puppies, it broke my heart to think they could've been killed. How awful for them.

    No kidding! She's also a convicted felon in prior crimes. Can we spell "psycho"?

  • You can burn down your own building if it doesn't endanger others. Probably just need a permit. Not a serious crime. However, if it isn't your building or if it is insured or the loan company owns it then you have a problem. I suspect she did it for monetary gain. Suspect she is not going to get out of jail very soon.
