Investigators said the couple would let animals starve to death. They found nearly 50 dead and dying dogs on the property, along with cats, rabbits and an 8-year-old child living in horrible conditions.
"What was present in that home was jarring to some pretty senior law enforcement officers, who have seen things, and this will probably stick with them for a while," said Miller.Kelli Bowen, 54, is charged with burglary. Police said she went to the home while the couple was behind bars and took items pertinent to the case.
Bowen agreed to talk to 6abc about the charges, and said she was working with two animal rescues looking for adoption papers. "I didn't get rid of them. I wasn't trying to cover up a crime or anything, because it was trash," Bowen said."There are a lot of rescues looking for dogs that aren't accounted for, way over 200 dogs," said Bowen.
