The death and mutilation of Tommy the cat has been linked to a serial pet killer, say police in Miami, Florida.

MIAMI, Florida (CNN) -- He was black and white, the perfect gift for the 6-year-old daughter of Donna and Ronald Gleason. His name was Tommy.

The black and white tuxedo cat was one of a dozen pets that have been killed and mutilated recently by someone in the Miami area, police said.

On Thursday, the list of confirmed cat deaths and mutiliations grew to 19 pets, police said. They are looking into another 14 feline fatalities.

The Gleasons do not want their daughter's name to be published. Donna Gleason asked the child to leave the room before telling CNN the gruesome details of what happened to their cat.

"Part of his skin was missing underneath ... and part of his legs," Gleason said. "He was partially skinned."

Miami-Dade County police say Tommy's demise is part of a string of sadistic feline fatalities that have occurred recently in the Cutler Bay and Palmetto Bay areas of southern Miami-Dade County, south of Miami.

Miami-Dade Police spokesman Bobby Williams said two of the cat carcasses were "posed." He said that anyone capable of such cruelty toward and torture of an animal "is disturbed at some sort of level."

The crimes began May 13. A reward of up to $10,000 has been offered for any information leading to an arrest.

Police have been inundated with dozens of phone calls from people who have discovered dead cats throughout the community. Investigators have determined that most of the cases are not related to the string of cat killings. The number grew from 12 to 15 to 19 in just the past two days.

Ronald Gleason found Tommy lying in their yard May 25. At first, he thought his family's pet had been killed by a dog, but a closer look revealed the cruelty behind his death.

Tommy was a gift for the Gleasons' little girl. She desperately wanted a cat, Donna Gleason said. She searched for a cat that could get along with their dog, but none of the shelter cats they brought home was compatible.

"We prayed that we would find a nice cat that liked our dog, and a few days later, he just showed up at our front door," Donna Gleason said. Tommy was adopting them.

The Gleasons put signs up in the neighborhood, and when no one claimed him, they kept Tommy.

"It's disturbing to know that this happened right in front of your house, while you're sleeping inside," Donna Gleason said. "I'm not terrified, but I'm not sleeping as well as I used to."

Others in south Miami-Dade County are telling similar stories. A woman whose Siamese mix cat, Caesar, was killed and mutilated didn't want her name published.

"This person killed my cat. He doesn't need to know anything else about me," she said. "I don't know if it's a gang initiation thing or a satanic ritual thing, but to do what he's doing, he has to be extremely sick."

The month-long cat-killing spree has police concerned.

"We're telling people to be aware where their cats are at. Keep your pets inside," said Williams, the police spokesman.

"If anyone looks or acts suspicious, call police," he added. "Have us come out there and check them out. This could be the missing link we're looking for."

For the Gleasons and 11 other cat owners, it's too late. All they can do is break the news gently to a little girl who always wanted a kitty.

"She loved him and played with him every morning. ... She just misses him," Donna Gleason said.

"We told her that Tommy was killed by an animal," she said.

Then she added, "Well, an animal did kill him."

People who abuse or kill animals are low lifes who need to be mutilated themselves. The B.S part of it is, if caught, they will only serve a couple of years, when they deserve the electric chair.

Lots of people get off killing animals (deer, ducks, pigs, turkeys, cows). Putting a bullet or arrow through an animal is apparently as titillating as it is mutilating.

Miami-Dade County Commissioner Katy Sorenson, who represents the area, called him ``twisted and depraved, somehow really not right as a human being.''

Akers said she was surprised a kid from the neighborhood committed the killings. Still, she said, Weinman should receive a stiff sentence for what he did to his feline victims.

''I'm glad he's 18, because now he can be tried as an adult,'' she said. ``If he's in prison for life, that would suit me just fine.''

This dude is a sick, twisted individual with something wrong with him (the cat mutilator, not tlong).

maybe the jury will slap the guy with a $500 fine or 30 days in jail and tlong will be happy. Hopefully though, the jury will be made up of normal people with normal sensibilities.

A teenager is being held on 19 counts of animal cruelty linked to a month-long killing spree of pet cats in the Miami area, police said. Tyler Hayes Weinman, 18, also is charged with 19 counts of improper disposal of dead animals and four counts of burglary, police said.

Weinman lives in Cutler Bay and has lived with his parents in Palmetto Bay, the two towns where police said 19 cats were mutilated and killed.

Pet owners and police began discovering disfigured cats May 13. One pet owner, Donna Gleason, said her family cat, Tommy, was "partially skinned" and left dead in her yard.

Police said 34 cats have been found dead in the towns, but only 19 mutilated cats could be linked to a serial killer. Police confirmed that some of the cats were killed by dogs, said Maj. Julie Miller of Cutler Bay police.

Weinman, who works odd jobs but spends most of his time at home and unemployed, had been a person of interest for several weeks, Miller said. He was arrested Saturday.

The police are looking into whether any people Weinman associates with might have been accomplices in the killings. Weinman's sealed juvenile record includes two prior offenses, Miller said.

He could face a maximum of 158 years in state prison if convicted on all counts, said Terry Shavez, spokeswoman for the state attorney's office.

The mayor of Cutler Bay referred to the string of feline attacks as a "plague in South Miami-Dade."

"The cruelty of these crimes were horrific for the animal victims, but there were many human victims as well," Mayor Paul Vrooman said.

"Let's not forget the children and the families who found their pets mutilated. These awful scenes inflicted a human toll."

So what do you think is adequate punishment?

Do you realize that psychologically speaking, individuals who hurt animals are EXTREMELY likely, almost guaranteed, to abuse people as well? This isn't just some guy getting his jollies off. He's hurting defenseless creatures. That hints at a far darker mindset than you appear to be thinking about.

I should point out that this individual is just a suspect and has not been convicted yet. There is a video of his initial court appearance on the CNN link.

Talk about a completely inept analogy.

What do you think the chances are of a dog attempting to assassinate the president? And even saying that, it is doubtful a stray dog or ANY large dog could approach the president without SS members right there in case something happens. A trained attacker could kill the president if he got within arms reach of him in seconds. My goodness man, THINK before you make such silly comparisons!

It's expressly against the law to hurt animals. He probably won't get life, but I PROMISE you that if he tortured and maimed PEOPLE before killing them, life would be the ABSOLUTE MINIMUM sentence he could hope for. If he is indeed convicted of this, the judge will hand out a sentence that goes in accordance with the severity of the crime. He individually tortured over a dozen animals.

MIAMI — A judge in Miami has released a teenager accused of more than a dozen cat killings from jail.

Tyler Hayes Weinman had already posted bond before Wednesday's hearing, but the judge would not release him until the 18-year-old's psychiatric evaluation could be reviewed.

Judge John Thornton released Weinman after a brief hearing, saying the teen was "competent" to be released under electronic monitoring. Thornton said Weinman would be allowed to attend the counseling recommended by a doctor.

Weinman's father and stepmother left the courtroom without comment.

Weinman is accused of a string of cat mutilation killings that terrorized two suburban Miami communities for about a month.

According to the New York Times, "[t]he FBI has found that a history of cruelty to animals is one of the traits that regularly appears in its computer records of serial rapists and murderers, and the standard diagnostic and treatment manual for psychiatric and emotional disorders lists cruelty to animals a diagnostic criterion for conduct disorders.[33] "A survey of psychiatric patients who had repeatedly tortured dogs and cats found all of them had high levels of aggression toward people as well, including one patient who had murdered a young boy."[33] Robert K. Ressler, an agent with the Federal Bureau of Investigation's behavioral sciences unit, studied serial killers and noted,"Murderers like this (Jeffrey Dahmer) very often start out by killing and torturing animals as kids."[34]

That is why people who think it's not a big deal are wrong. It is a freaking big deal that for no reason a 18 year old boy torture and mutilate cats!

And why we are on the story of animal abuse, all the people comparing Vick to Stallworth are a bunch of dumbasses. Vick deserved the time he got plus more, and its the courts fault for not sentencing Stallworth to a bigger sentence. It is a joke that suddenly Vick looks like a victim.

Actually we are on a person here in Baltimore who is torturing cats. I won't go into the gruesome details, lets just say it involves a cat, a fence, and some firecrackers. I guess you can use your imagination as to what that entails.
