Sarah Manos' pets were brutally killed, and finally, she now has some closure.
As CBS 2's Tara Molina reported Tuesday, Manos' boyfriend killed her dogs while they were quarantining for the COVID-19 pandemic. The Cook County State's Attorney's office said they didn't have the evidence to prosecute him criminally – so the woman took her case to another county.
"I still look at pictures of them," she said,"and just the reality of knowing what happened to them." by a Cook County judge in a civil case this past winter, the Cook County State's Attorney's Office told Sarah they didn't have evidence sufficient for criminal animal cruelty charges.But she didn't give up. Realizing the abuse spanned two counties, she turned to Mokena police and the Will County State's Attorney's office.Cook County didn't have enough evidence to move forward, but Will County did.
Glasgow could not speak to Manos' open case, but he said the team of three in the Will County State's Attorney's office's designated Animal Protection Unit is working around the clock - every day.
