Hay guys, so were slowly but surely making progress on the case, can't divulge too much into the details but were getting results which is great. Now hopefully we can finally get him prosecuted and he'll come clean about where she's buried and we can bring her home. I can't believe how much grief I'm carrying around with me, its weighing me down like a tonne of bricks, its like waking up every morning and for that split second your still half asleep then it all just comes to you again and suddenly your heart sinks. That's how I feel right now every day, I know some people may think its silly because she was a cat, but she was my friend and I loved her like she was my child and she treated me like her mother, if she was scared she wouldn't leave my side but when she felt adventurous and stayed out late I would sit up in my dressing gown and worry like I had a teenaged daughter or something, but she was only 7, so young and such a beautiful happy little creature. Oh so many of my friends and family have died throughout the years, only recently 2 of my friends died from school and I felt the pain of that but I think this is so bad because, in effect, she was murdered. There were 3 shots heard the morning of her disappearance and I can't get the images out of my head, did he injure her first? Did he miss the first time? I just don't know but I won't stop until I do. I have to bring this person down and get justice, its not just for toots but as a stand against unlawful violence that so many people get away with these days, this isn't just about my cat, this is about finding that you can get justice, that our system of law won't let us down and will make guilty criminals pay for their crimes. If he walks free and doesn't pay for this, how can that be justice?? He took someone I loved from me and just because it had paws and it was covered in fur doesn't make it any less of a crime, he took someone I loved with all my heart and he broke mine and my families heart in the process, doesn't that deserve punishment? I'll forgive him in years to come because I won't live with anger but I'll never forgive what he's done and I hope it haunts him for the rest of his life. Peace Sandi
Whoever you are Jim you're a poor excuse for a human being. There most certainly is a crime. You obviously haven't an ounce of compassion in your body. You disgust me!
I know exactly how you’re feeling. Three years ago my cat was killed by a Staffordshire Bull Terrier because some thoughtless, irresponsible person was walking it without a lead.
Not the same, I know, as someone deliberately murdering her, although it does seem like it’s a sport to some people to see their dogs chase cats. That thoughtless and irresponsible act caused me so much pain and took the life of an animal I had loved and cared for for 16 years.
I hope with all my heart you find Toots and you are able to prosecute this person.
