Who is good? Who is vicious?
Without revealing the final truth, you will never be able to make a correct judgment!
At 4:00 a.m. American time on September 2, 1998, at the headquarters of parachute doctors in Ohio, the United States, suddenly rang a rapid telephone ringtone, and after the doctor on duty answered the phone, a man came from the earpiece with a crying voice: "My girlfriend encountered a wild dog attack when she went out for a walk, she climbed home by herself, and her life is currently in danger, please save her quickly." ”
The main function of the parachute doctor's headquarters is to be responsible for the parachute medical service, which is generally encountered in this kind of emergency situation, and the doctor on duty has become accustomed to this situation. It's just that young women going out for a walk late at night do have some irrationalities. Of course, it's not impossible for some people to have special hobbies.
No sooner had the doctor on duty hung up the phone than the Ohio police department received a call from the police, still by the man, who cried and called the police, in line with what the doctor on duty had said. After the police received the police, they immediately organized the police force to rush to the man's residence to check the situation.
Based on the address provided by the man, doctors and police quickly arrived at the scene, and they learned through the man that his name was Jeffrey Mann, 36 years old, and that the woman who was attacked by the wild dog was his girlfriend Angela Kaplan, 28 years old.
The doctor, because of the rescue, took the lead in entering the living room where the woman was located, and found Kaplan lying on a black sofa, and the white thread blanket covered by his body had been stained a large area of red by blood. To the doctor's surprise, Kaplan's body was completely naked, and fragments of her blood-stained underwear and torn outerwear were scattered all around.
The doctor's main duty is to save people, but after a moment's pause, he did not continue to pay attention to this matter. Sadly, when doctors examined Kaplan's vital signs, they found that she was dead without any chance of rescue. The doctor regretfully informed Mann of the news and shook his head and left.
At the same time, police officer Kevin also launched a preliminary investigation of the scene. While observing Mann's residence, Kevin noticed a strange phenomenon, there was no blood in the hallway of the room, but the blood stains were everywhere in the room, which obviously did not match what Mann had said. If Kaplan had crawled back to his home after being bitten by a dog in the wild, the corridor should have left blood.
Kevin also noticed that Kaplan's body was completely naked, and the clothes were obviously not torn by the dog, because the outer clothes were broken, but the underwear was still relatively intact, not falling off, and someone should have taken it off. In addition to Kaplan, there is only her boyfriend Mann, but why did Mann take off Kaplan's clothes? Kevin couldn't figure it out.
When Kevin received the alarm, he thought that this was a case of wild dogs injuring people, but he did not expect that the situation was so serious that the woman had been bitten to death by the dog, and there were many doubts. After a preliminary investigation, Kevin thought that the case might not be simple, so he contacted criminal detectives Tarino and Reese by wireless phone.
After answering the phone, Kevin said with great interest: "You will definitely be interested in this case, it was a dog." The other side heard Kevin's introduction, and immediately came to interest, let Kevin stay there, and protect the scene.
While waiting, Kevin saw a picture of a hybrid dog hanging on the wall of the house and casually asked Mann, "Is this your dog?" Mann replied "Yes", and Kevin asked again, "Where is it?" Mann said, "It's upstairs."
Kevin then learned that the Mann family also had a dog, and he was obviously suspicious of the dog, so he called a police officer in front of Mann and asked him to immediately contact the local kennel farm and ask them to send professionals to help solve the case.
After Kevin explained the incident, he noticed that Mann had a new wound on his forehead and blood oozing from it, and he called two police officers and asked them to take Mann to the hospital for treatment. Mann was reluctant to leave, but Kevin insisted on doing so, and Mann had no choice but to do so, and before leaving, he did not forget to say: "Don't hurt my dog." ”
Mann left after saying this, and Mann's words gave Kevin the impression that he seemed to care more about the dog than his girlfriend.
Shortly after Mann left, criminal detectives Tarreno and Reese rushed over. Tarreno is a female detective with considerable experience in criminal investigation, she has been a detective for 30 years and is very confident in solving this case.
When Tareanor and Reese arrived at the scene, they formally communicated with Kevin, even if they took over the case. After re-investigating the scene, Tareanor concludes that the case is flawed and that Mann lied. What is he hiding? Further investigation is needed.
After observing for a while in the living room where Kaplan's body was parked, Tarino stepped out of the living room and found that between the living room and the room opposite, there was a clear drag on the floor. Tareanor followed the blood stain to the door, but when he tried to open it, he found that the door was locked.
Tarrino searched around the room, and sure enough, she found another door leading to the room, which was not locked and she easily pushed open. However, the scene behind this door made her, a detective with decades of criminal investigation experience, feel shocked.
In an interview afterwards, Tarreno described the room as "a slaughterhouse," and she told reporters with some trepidation, "I've seen all kinds of criminal cases, and none of them have been tragic." ”
In the room, there was a large bed, almost stained red with blood. By surveying the room, Tarino could almost determine that this was the first scene of the crime, not some wild field. But there was a question, Tarino could not figure out, why did Mann drag Kaplan into the living room and take off her clothes?
When Tarreno walked out of the room, he found that the blood on the floor extended to many places, such as the kitchen and the bath, which showed what Kaplan had been tortured by the dog. Tarino also noticed that the blood on the floor stretched all the way to the stairs to the second floor, and Tarino walked up the stairs and saw the blood stains appear in front of a closed door.
In order to find out, Tarino slowly opened the door and saw a hybrid dog, rushing at her fiercely. Tarino's reaction was swift, and he immediately closed the door, and behind the door came a burst of barking of dogs and the sound of dogs scratching the door.
Tarreno, though experienced in criminal investigation, was unable to deal with the dog that seemed to be mad, and it was at this time that the kennel professionals whom Kevin had called arrived. Carrying a noose rod dedicated to catching dogs, and with his arm protected, he boldly opened the door and walked in.
As a result, after a dog bark, the door was opened again and the professional escaped with a sock. Although he was not injured, he seemed a little panicked, and as soon as he came out, he quickly closed the door and asked Tarino to let a man with a gun accompany him in, just in case.
Tarreno was a woman, unfit to do such a thing, and had to be sent out by Detective Reese. He put the pistol in his chest with both hands, opened the door, and carefully walked into the door with the professionals of the kennel. He stood on the side of the professionals, ready to shoot.
After they entered the door, the dog grinned wildly, showing its sharp teeth, and then rushed towards them. At this moment, the professional quickly raised the lever in his hand, wrapped the dog's neck at once, and successfully subdued it. The 40-kilogram hybrid dog was subdued and dragged to the car waiting outside the door and successfully delivered to the kennel.
The investigation of the case has been full of doubts until now. Mann lied almost as a matter of course, and Kaplan was not bitten to death by a wild dog, but rather by a hybrid dog owned by his own family. If so, what was Mann doing while the hybrid dog was frantically biting and torturing the mistress? Why did he lie to the police that his girlfriend was bitten by a wild dog while walking?
In order to find out the truth of these things, Tarino rushed back to the police station to interrogate Mann, who was already under control.
According to Mann, he and his girlfriend Kaplan attended a dance party that night, and since they had a good time that night, the girlfriend was still not sleepy when she arrived home and planned to go out for a walk. Mann felt a little tired, did not go with him, washed up at home and directly lay down to get ready for bed.
But Mann felt a lot of pain in his back after lying down, and he couldn't sleep, so after tossing and turning for a while, he had to get up and find some painkillers to eat, and then fell asleep. I don't know how long later, in his grogginess, he felt his girlfriend Kaplan return from a walk and jumped into bed to tell him that he had been bitten by a wild dog outside.
Mann claimed that the painkillers he took had a sleeping effect, so he slept deeply and knew nothing until his girlfriend woke him up. After being woken up by his girlfriend, he found Kaplan covered in blood, which woke him up. He dragged Kaplan into the living room, took off her clothes, and examined her wounds.
Finding out that the injuries were very serious, I planned to take her to a nearby hospital, but Kaplan said that she would not go anyway, so I had to call the parachute doctor's headquarters for help. Subsequently, he called the police again.
There seemed to be no loophole in Mann's words, but Tarino didn't want to believe a word. Because many of the clues she found at the scene proved that Mann was lying. And, until now, he was covering up his crimes for his own dog.
When Mann had finished, Tarino suddenly said, "I don't believe you were asleep when Kaplan was attacked by a dog. The sudden remark made Mann a little flustered, and he asked Tarino slightly angrily: "You mean my dog bit Kaplan to death?" He spoke subconsciously, a little unintended, and Tarino was more convinced of his speculation.
Tarreno wasted no time in continuing to ask, "Why are you excusing your dog?" ”
Mann also seemed to realize that what he was saying was inappropriate, and did not continue to speak more, telling Tarino directly: "You have no evidence to accuse me." ”
Mann was telling the truth, everything Tarreno said was her speculation, and there was currently no evidence that the dog attack on Kaplan was related to Mann. Tareanor tried to switch the entry point for interrogation, asking how the wound on Mann's head was caused, which Mann claimed was caused by fragments that splattered when a water cup was broken.
Tarreno thought this should be true, because she had seen fragments of water glasses on the floor of the room where the large bed was located, but strangely enough, there were also many fragments on the bed.
Seeing that the interrogation was fruitless, Detective Reese, who was standing next to him, suddenly opened his mouth to sneer at Mann, "I see that you care more about the dog than you care about your girlfriend." But the sarcasm didn't work, and Mann stopped talking. Without any evidence, Mann was released the next morning as soon as the time of detention arrived, but Tarino had no intention of letting go.
This is the first time in Tarreno's 30 years since he joined the police that he has encountered a criminal case in which a dog bites the hostess. Tarreno, who returned to the scene again to investigate, found that the dog in Kaplan's family, named Mark, had a photo with Kaplan, and the two acted very close. Was it really the dog that bit the hostess?
That afternoon, the veterinarian who examined Mark had completed the initial examination of it and came to his conclusions. He called Tarino and asked her to come over at once.
Tareanor arrived at the kennel and met with the veterinarian, who told Taliano that Mann's dog was a good dog, but that the dog attack on the hostess could not be treated as a simple case of a dog attack. Hearing this, Tarino was a little surprised and asked the veterinarian why he said this.
The veterinarian also stopped hiding it, telling Tarreno bluntly: "This dog is not a murderer. Then he explained to Tarreno, "Mark is not that aggressive dog, and when I treated it with a wound on his mouth, he behaved very docilely. When Tarreno learned of the situation, she was more convinced of her speculation, but she did not tell the veterinarian what she thought.
Immediately afterward, Tarino received news that the forensic doctor had also obtained a result in the autopsy of the deceased Kaplan. The medical examiner told Tarrenno that the real cause of death of the deceased Kaplan was excessive blood loss. On the arms of the deceased alone, forensics found as many as 180 wounds, almost all of which came from the bite of the hybrid dog.
In other words, Kaplan was bitten and attacked by the hybrid dog for a long time, during which no one stopped him. Most importantly, Kaplan was tortured when he was attacked by a hybrid dog, and the forensic doctor told Tarreno that before Kaplan was attacked by a hybrid dog, he had taken marijuana and tranquilizers, and the dosage was very strange, neither enough for Kaplan to anesthetize, and he could always feel the pain when he was bitten by the hybrid dog, and it was enough to make Kaplan weak and unable to resist when attacked.
Docile dogs, strange doses of tranquilizers and marijuana, Tarreno believes this is no coincidence. But the crux of the matter is, why would such a docile dog suddenly attack the hostess who had been intimate before? To figure out the problem, Tarino drove to Washington to find an expert who specialized in dog attacks.
When Tarreno recounted the case of the hybrid dog attacking the hostess, when he first mentioned that the deceased had more than 180 wounds on his arms, the expert asserted: "The dog must have been ordered to attack." The expert continued: "Dog bites a dead person, and in the past few years, there have been many incidents in the United States, but each time, there is only one wound on the deceased's body. Because dogs attack people or animals, they will strike once, which is an important feature of dogs to launch attacks, and wounds are generally in the throat and skull. ”
After listening to the expert's words, Tarino was almost certain that mann, the boyfriend of the deceased Kaplan, was seriously suspected. Out of caution, Tarino brought in a female expert on dog behavior and asked her to go to Washington to study it in person with another expert, and the results were the same as before.
On April 21, 1999, After returning to Ohio, Tarreno initiated charges against Mann for murder. But the idea that people use dogs as "murder weapons" to kill people was too strange at the time, and even many colleagues in the police station were not optimistic that Tarino would win the case. Even the court judge, when he learned of the case, told Tarrenno privately that he should be mentally prepared to be dismissed.
Tarreno firmly believes that unheard of does not necessarily mean non-existent, that there is precedent for everything, and that she will be able to find evidence. In order to ensure that nothing was wrong, she specifically found an authoritative dentist, threw a piece of raw horse meat to the biting hybrid dog, and took its tooth marks, which were compared with the tooth marks on the body of the deceased, enough to prove that the hybrid dog had bitten Kaplan.
Tarreno then attempted to link the hybrid dog attack on Kaplan with Mann. But it was difficult to prove that the hybrid dog was under Mann's command, so she had to turn again to the female expert who helped her last time. The female expert advised her to go on a trip to California, where several authoritative dog taming experts would hold a seminar where she would surely learn something.
Unwilling to give up any slim hope, Tarreno rushed to California alone, but she was disappointed that no information appeared at the seminar that would help her.
A retired police officer learned of her intentions and kindly told her that it was wrong to look for a dog expert to solve the case, and he knew a professional who trained aggressive dogs, had trained police dogs for the police force before, and was very famous in the industry, and this person would give her the answer she wanted.
Tareanor heard the news and returned to Ohio without stopping, and after some inquiry, learned that the man lived in Amherst and was a professional expert in attacking dog taming. After Tarino found him, he dispensed with some politeness and asked him bluntly, why did the dog suddenly attack and bite her to death?
The dog training expert heard the words and did not answer immediately, he asked Tarino to sit down, and after pouring her a glass of juice, he gave Talino an answer. According to Amherst, dogs are very different from humans in that they do not have a human view of right and wrong, and their behavior depends entirely on instinct.
In the eyes of a dog, a family of humans living together is no different from a group of dogs living together. There will be a "head dog" in the dog group, and all the actions of the dog must be obeyed by this "head dog". In order to clarify the problem, the dog training expert pointed to the dog in the house and told Tarino without hesitation: "In this room, I am the 'head dog'. ”
The dog training expert saw that Tarino was still confused, so he got up and took Talino to the backyard. The son of a dog expert is playing with a strong Labrador named Sam and is acting very closely, like Kaplan and Mark in the photo.
The dog trainer first called his son to lie flat on the lawn, then called Sam, and suddenly gave him a command, pointing at his son and shouting, "Catch him!" Sam, who had just been very close to Amherst's son, immediately pounced on Amherst's son after Amherst gave the order, and took one of the child's arms in his mouth, but did not continue to bite hard, as if waiting for the next command from the dog training expert.
Tareanor was stunned to see such a thrilling scene, but the dog training expert did not think so, ordered Sam to let go, and he continued to play intimately with the dog training expert's son, as if nothing had happened.
Dog taming experts tell Tarreno that as long as it is a specially trained dog, as long as it receives instructions from the "head dog", no matter how close it is to other people or animals, it will not hesitate to carry out the instructions. The dog training expert paused and continued, "Of course, if the 'head dog' wants the attack to stop, he can stop it at any time." ”
Tareanor, who had already understood something, heard this sentence and immediately realized Mann's viciousness. Yes, at this time, Tarino had already determined that Mann was the "head dog" who could give orders to the hybrid dog, and the hybrid dog was not an ordinary pet group, it must have been specially trained.
After figuring this out, Tarino thought she was very close to the truth, and she hoped that the dog training expert would go to the kennel with him, and she wanted to confirm whether the hybrid dog had been professionally trained, and the dog training expert happily agreed to her.
When the two arrived at the kennel, Tarino approached the breeder and asked him to take the hybrid dog to a fenced meadow. When the hybrid dog is taken to the grass, it is kept in a cage, and when the cage is opened, it does not rush out at the first time, but hesitates for a moment before stepping out of the cage.
After the hybrid dog came out of the cage, it did not show any desire to attack anyone, it just walked lazily on the grass and looked around. The dog training expert saw the situation, brought the professional long sleeves that he usually brought when taming dogs, and then waved at the hybrid dog. When the hybrid dog saw the sleeve waved by the dog training expert, he immediately rushed up with grinning teeth and bit down on the long sleeve, accompanied by a low roar in his throat.
But after the hybrid dog completed this action, it did not continue to bite. This scene Taliano seems familiar, because she has just seen this scene in the home of the dog training expert, and it is clear that the hybrid dog is waiting for the next command from the "head dog". The reason why it will take the initiative to bite the long sleeve is because it knows what the long sleeve is used for, and it also knows what it should do at this time.
The dog trainer waited a little while, and the hybrid dog did not receive the next command and gradually loosened its mouth. After putting away the long sleeves, the dog training expert told Tarreno with certainty that this was a dog that had been trained to be aggressive. Unfortunately, dog taming experts don't know what the next attack order for hybrid dogs is, so they can only demonstrate here.
Tarreno was already very satisfied, because it was enough to prove that the hybrid dog was trained and was an aggressive dog, which was enough to put Mann in jail.
After the trial of Mann's dog training murder case, Mann slyly debated whether Kaplan was bitten by a hybrid dog and was punctured by the lie in court. His lawyer also defended that the hybrid dog Mark may have been stimulated by something to go crazy and bite the hostess Kaplan, but as the experts testified one by one and demonstrated in front of the jury, it turned out that a well-trained dog like Mark could not be easily stimulated and go crazy.
Mann's lawyer, however, did not spare, suggesting that Kaplan might have attacked Mann's forehead with a cup that night, so Mark was provoked and bit Kaplan to death. The experts were prepared for this, and the court played a scene of a fierce fight for the hybrid dog Mark, but Mark did not have any emotional change.
Instead, when the experts played a special picture of a long-sleeved dog, Mark began to become restless and immediately got up and pounced on the TV screen. This scene, the jury looked at, completely in line with the hybrid dog Mark was previously trained to be an aggressive dog.
Mann's sophistry with his lawyer was punctured again and again. Eventually, Mann was found guilty by a court and sentenced to 15 years in prison. Mann gets the punishment he deserves, and mark, the hybrid dog he left behind, loses his owner. There are many theories about how to deal with this hybrid dog, but there is no conclusive conclusion.
The case was widespread in Ohio, and some people, after learning that Mark was a docile hybrid dog, wrote to the police department expressing their willingness to adopt Mark. But in the end, the applications were rejected. The reason is also simple, Mark is a trained attack dog, but what its attack instructions are, no one but Mann knows. Mann never admitted that he instructed Mark to bite his girlfriend Kaplan to death, and naturally did not say what the attack instructions were.
In this way, Mark can neither be tamed again, nor can he be sure what the attack command is, in case the new owner inadvertently triggers the attack command, he can't keep the tragedy from happening again. To be on the safe side, Tarino and his colleagues bought some poison, using the dose that would most alleviate Mark's pain, leaving Mark to close his eyes forever.
Because of Mann's deliberate concealment, some motives and reasons have become a mystery, and the hybrid dog Mark has lost the right to survive. Just one wrong step, the original harmonious and beautiful two people and a dog, just ended a harmonious life, can't help but sigh.
