In September 1998, a bizarre case occurred in Ohio, USA. A hybrid dog tortured the hostess to death late at night, and the male owner Mann hurriedly called ** for help.
When the police arrived, they found that things were not simple and called two criminal detectives. But the more this matter is investigated, the more strange it becomes, and all kinds of signs indicate that the real ** is not a dog.
The whole case is very tortuous and bizarre, and when the truth is revealed, everyone can't believe this unbelievable result.
Dogs are human friends, and many people like to keep a dog at home as a pet. Can be 28 years old American womanAngela KaplanI never dreamed that my dog would one day torture himself to death.
In the early morning of September 2, 1998, Mann dialed the ** of the Umbrella Medical Services Headquarters. When the doctor on duty hears the bell, he quickly picks it up.
Mann cried"Oh no, come and help! My girlfriend was just out for a walk, she was bitten by a wild dog and is now covered in blood. ”
The doctor on duty advised Mann to calm down, telling him to tell him where the accident had happened and to send someone over immediately.
Mann gives the address of his home, and repeatedly urges them to come over, his girlfriend may be overwhelmed.
The doctor on duty brought the first aid supplies and hurried to the place Mann had said. Due to the seriousness of the matter, the doctor also called the police **.
It didn't take long for both the doctor and police officer Kevin to arrive at Mann's home. The doctor inquired about Mann's girlfriend's room, and after Mann pointed to it, the doctor rushed in to resuscitate him.
But when the doctor entered the house, he was dumbfounded by the scene in front of him. Mann's girlfriend, Angela Kaplan, is lying "naked" on a couch, her white blanket stained red with bloodstains.
At this time, the doctor had a question in his heart, when Mann called ** for help, he was very anxious, why did he strip his girlfriend's clothes, did he want to check the injury?
Kaplan lay motionless on the couch, and after a detailed examination, doctors found that she had no vital signs.
At the same time, Kevin, the police officer in the house, begins to ask Mann what really happened, asking him to explain it in detail from beginning to end.
Mann said his girlfriend was 28 years old Angela Kaplan, and they had a dance party last night. When I came back from dancing, it was not early, and I went to bed.
In the wee hours of the morning, my girlfriend crawled back to the house, covered in blood, telling herself that she had just gone out for a walk and had been bitten by a wild dog.
After listening to Mann's account, police officer Kevin immediately noticed a suspicious point.
Mann said that his girlfriend was bitten by a wild dog and crawled home with blood on her body, but when he entered the door, he didn't see any blood on the ground.
At this time, the doctor also came out of the room, and he said to the police Kevin: "It's a pity that the girl is not breathing, she is too badly injured." ”
Police officer Kevin then went into the room to check on the situation, and he found that the girl's clothes were torn, and her underwear was intact, but it was all taken off.
If Mann wanted to help his girlfriend check her wounds, there was no need to take off her underwear, because Kaplan's wounds were all on his head and limbs, and there was no need to take off all his clothes.
The more police Kevin thought about it, the more wrong it became, and now there were only blood stains in the room, which showed that Kaplan had never gone out at all, she was killed at home, and it was definitely not a wild dog outside.
In the end, he came to a terrible conclusion: Mann must have lied, he didn't tell the truth, and his girlfriend wasn't as simple as being bitten by a wild dog.
But everything needs evidence, and in order not to startle the snake, the policeman Kevin decided to stabilize Mann first and slowly look for evidence.
After noticing that there was something strange about this, Kevin called the two criminal detectives, and he said that there was a dog that bit a girl to death, and you will definitely be interested.
The detective happily agreed to Kevin, saying that he would come as fast as he could.
The doctor felt that staying here would not make much use, so he said hello to Mann and left.
It will take some time for the detectives to arrive, so Kevin, the policeman, wanders around the house, hoping to find more clues. Unexpectedly, there was really a new discovery.
Police officer Kevin spotted a hybrid dog ** on the wall of Mann's home, which caught his attention. Kevin asked tentatively, "You still like dogs, is this your dog?" ”
Mann looked a little evasive, hesitated for a few seconds and replied, "Yes." ”
With years of experience in handling cases, Kevin concluded that there must be something wrong with Mann, so he continued to ask: "What about it?" Why haven't you seen it all the time? ”
Mann whispered, "It's upstairs." ”
That's when the criminal detectiveTalianowithReeseArrived, and Kevin quietly told them what he had discovered. After hearing this, the two detectives became more interested in the case.
Then they put on their gloves and took a closer look at the corners. Based on the situation on the scene, combined with Mann's words, they concluded that Mann must have lied.
But why did he lie, and what did he lie to cover up? This one is not certain.
Later, Kevin remembered what Mann said about his dog, and maybe he could find a breakthrough point in the dog.
Mann heard a few people want to see his dog, he was a little excited, and said to a few people"You can't hurt it. ”
Police officer Kevin found that Mann had a wound on his forehead, and in order to prevent him from affecting the case, he directly sent someone to take Mann to the hospital**.
After Mann leaves, Kevin asks another cop to go to the kennel to find an insider. Taking advantage of this gap, the two detectives walked into the room where Kaplan's body was.
As soon as they entered, two detectives spotted an anomaly. Because of the obvious blood stains on the floor, it looked as if the body had been dragged.
At this point, Detective Reese came up with an idea: "The reason why we didn't find blood in the door is that Mann carried her into the house and dragged her in." ”
Another detective, Taliano, leaned down to take a closer look, then shook his head and said, "Judging from the blood on the ground, the body should have been dragged from another room." ”
The trio then followed the blood trail on the ground and eventually reached the door of a room. But the room was locked, and thankfully there was another door to enter.
When the three of them walked into the room, they were shocked by what they saw. The large bed in the middle of the room was covered in blood, and even on the surrounding walls.
Detective Taliano concluded that this room was the first scene of Kaplan's murder, and that someone had deliberately dragged her body to another room to confuse the public.
At this time, the three of them thought of Kaplan's boyfriend Mann at the same time, and Mann lied from beginning to end, that his girlfriend was not bitten by a wild dog at all, but was killed at home.
But why did he lie? What exactly is he hiding? The three of them couldn't figure it out for a moment.
At this moment, the kennel staff found by the police also arrived. They followed the blood trail on the ground until they reached the second floor.
The second floor was an attic, and they had just gone up to hear the dog barking. Detective Taliano pushed open the attic door, and the dog inside immediately pounced, looking very fierce.
Fortunately, Taliano was quick to close the attic door in time to escape. Subsequently, the staff of the dog farm took a lot of effort to catch the dog, which was more than 40 kilograms.
Police Kevin and the two detectives already have a guess in their minds at the moment, but there is not enough evidence yet. The three of them made a brief summary of the clues at the scene and came to several conclusions.
First of all, Mann is sure that he lied, and that his girlfriend Kaplan was killed at home, not at all that he said he was bitten by a wild dog outside.
Secondly, the dog in Mann's house is a major suspect because it is right in the house and has plenty of room to commit crimes.
In the end, Kaplan's death is definitely not that simple, and Mann can't get out of it anyway.
After determining that Mann had a problem, police officer Kevin asked the officer to take Mann to the police station to ask him some questions.
When the three of them returned to the police station in the car, they immediately met with Mann. Mann said angrily, "My girlfriend was killed by a wild dog, why did you bring me here if you didn't catch the wild dog?" ”
Kevin told him to be quiet and told him to recount what happened yesterday without missing any details.
Men recounted the experience of last night, insisting that his girlfriend had been bitten by a wild dog outside, and when she returned, she lay down on the bed, and he helped her undress and check the wound.
But the three of them didn't believe what Mann said, he was a blatant lie. Detective Taliano asked, "Did you really fall asleep when your girlfriend was attacked by wild dogs?" I don't believe it. ”
This sentence made Mann's mood change drastically, and he roared, "Do you think my dog bit Kaplan?" ”
Detective Talianor found a loophole in Mann's words, and hurriedly continued to ask: "I just asked if you were asleep, but you have to take the initiative to protect your dog, how can you explain this." ”
Finally, Mann coldly dropped a sentence:"Anyway, you don't have any evidence, so you can't charge me for nothing. ”When he had finished speaking, he stopped talking.
The policemen, Kevin and Taliano, had no direct evidence in their hands, and Mann had no choice but to release him the next morning.
Detective Taliano is very sympathetic to the murdered Kaplan, she doesn't want to close the case so hastily and let the real ** get away with it. Therefore, she decided to pursue it further.
With no more clues, Taliano returned to the scene of the incident, hoping to find more evidence.
After a careful search, a photo of the dog and Kaplan was found at the scene, and the dog's name was "Mark", a hybrid dog.
Judging from the **, a person and a dog look very intimate, not like a ferocious vicious dog.
At the same time, there was also news from the dog farm, telling Taliano to hurry over and report a major discovery.
Taliano hurried to the kennel and the staff told him:"This dog shouldn't be a **, it's a docile dog, there must be something strange about this matter. ”
Taliano's mind was in turmoil at this time, it was neither the wild dog outside nor the family's hybrid dog "Mark" who killed Kaplan, so who could it be?
Things are getting messier and the case is getting more and more bizarre, and Mann is probably the only one who knows the truth.
Just when Taliano had no clue, news came from the medical examiner's side. After hearing the news, Taliano was even more sure that the real culprit was not a dog, but someone else.
A detailed examination of Kaplan's body by the medical examiner revealed more than 180 wounds on her body, mostly concentrated on her head, arms and legs.
These wounds are shocking, and most of them are from dog bites. Kaplan eventually died of blood loss, which is a pity.
At this time, Detective Taliano has another question in his heart, since Kaplan was attacked by a dog at home, why didn't Mann, who is her boyfriend, save her, and watch his girlfriend being bitten by a dog?
Before Taliano could figure out the questions, the medical examiner told her an important discovery. Kaplan had been injected with ** tranquilizers, just enough to immobilize her, but she would be conscious.
Taliano said after listeningIn other words, Kaplan could clearly feel the pain when she was attacked by a dog, she was tortured to death, right? ”The medical examiner nodded.
Tallino, who drove back to the police station, listed all the clues so far. There are too many doubts about the docile dog suddenly going crazy and the Kaplan being injected with a tranquilizer.
Taliano muttered quietly, "This is definitely not an accident, but someone carefully planned it." ”
According to the current evidence, it all points to the hybrid dog "Mark", but a dog can't speak at all, and can't find more clues from its mouth.
Taliano's decision to go to Washington to find an expert on dogs and figure out exactly under what circumstances a docile dog would suddenly go berserk may be the key to solving the case.
After finding an expert, Taliano recounted Kaplan's case from beginning to end. When she said that Kaplan had more than 180 wounds, the expert spoke"Someone must have given the dog an attack order to make the docile dog go crazy. ”
After so many years of being a detective, it was the first time that Taliano had heard of someone who could manipulate a dog to attack people.
Then the expert continued"Dogs generally attack the head and throat when they attack people, and they don't attack as often. If there are more than 180 wounds on the body of the dog, someone must have given the dog an attack order. ”
In order to find more evidence, Taliano also used horse meat to collect the tooth marks of the hybrid dog "Mark", and after comparison, it was found to match the tooth marks on Kaplan's body.
In 1999, Tallino charged Mann Kaplan for training the hybrid dog "Mark" into an attack dog and directing "Mark" to kill Kaplan.
But there is no evidence to support this claim, there is no reason to arrest Mann, and many people simply don't believe that anyone can manipulate a dog to attack people.
Taliano knew it would be hard to prove, but she didn't give up, and after much inquiry, she found an expert dog trainer.
In a conversation with a dog trainer, Taliano asked:"How can this be explained by the docile dog, who has always been close to the hostess, suddenly went crazy one day and bit the hostess to death? ”
After listening to this, the dog taming expert already had the answer in his heart, and he said unhurriedly"Dogs are different from people, they don't have the ability to distinguish between good and bad, these are all trained by nurture. ”
Taliano was a little hard to understand, and the dog trainer explained"There is a head wolf in every pack, and all wolves will obey its commands. The same is true for dogs, who also have a leader in the pack. ”
The dog trainer took Taliano to his backyard, where his son was playing with a dog and seemed very close.
The dog trainer continued:"In this yard, I am the leader of the dogs. ”
He then gave a command to the puppy that was playing:"Catch him. ”
The dog immediately ran to the dog trainer's son and bit his arm in the mouth, but not forcefully.
The dog trainer said that the dog was waiting for the next command, and if I continued to give it instructions, it would bite down without hesitation.
Seeing this, Taliano seemed to understand that no matter how close the relationship with the dog was, as long as the "leader" gave it instructions, it would not hesitate to carry it out.
So in the Kaplan case, was the crossbred dog "Mark" really trained?
Taliano took the dog trainer to the kennel where Mark was kept, and after a series of trials, confirmed that the hybrid dog had indeed been trained.
In court, Talianor presents a series of evidences that debunk Mann's lies one by one.
But Mann just didn't admit that he had trained "Mark" after a three-week trialMann was sentenced to 15 years in prison
If he admits that he trained the dog, then he is intentional homicide and will be sentenced to a heavier sentence.
The docile "Mark" was arranged to be euthanized, but he didn't expect the male host, who was close to him, to use himself to kill the hostess.
The whole case was traced to the end, and it turned out to be such an ending, which is really embarrassing.
There are two things in the world that cannot be looked at, one is the sun and the other is the human heart. Who would have thought that Mann, as a boyfriend, would do such a thing to his girlfriend.
