Police puzzled after someone leaves 26 decapitated chickens arranged in circle at Alaska coop

FAIRBANKS, Alaska (AP) — Alaska State Troopers are puzzled by a gruesome discovery in the city of North Pole: 26 headless chickens carefully arranged at a coop.

Police say the fly-infested carcasses found Monday were arranged in a 12- to 15-foot-long line pattern that ended in a circle. There was no sign of the missing heads.

Three chickens were left unharmed, and there was no damage to the coop.

Trooper spokeswoman Megan Peters says officers "have no idea what the thought process was."

They say there's a possibility that the killings were intended as a threat. Those responsible could be charged with felony criminal mischief.

The birds were unsuitable for eating, so investigators disposed of the chickens after photographing the scene.

I say it looks bad for those three chickens. I think they ought to "grill 'em" until they get the full story.

Sounds to me like they have a budding serial killer.

On a related psychopathic note, someone in this area decided to throw raw meat laced with poison into 3 yards with dogs.

I say poison the culprits enough until they're sick for a few days and almost at death's door.

I was reading about this story in the news the other day...I think RonCollins is right, it does seem like the behavior of a budding serial killer. A sick individual nonetheless.

no... that would be too good for them... tie em to a tree naked, dump hot bacon grease on their privates and let the dogs loose.
