In one of the first odd bit of news in 2015, the Gisele Paris Pittsburg case has come to the light: a woman has just been found guilty of kidnapping (or rather dognapping) a neighbor's dog, then euthanizing it.
The idea that someone would steal off a dog to kill it sounds much too absurd to be true, but it's exactly what the courts found Gisele Paris in Pittsburg guilty of doing last week, following a long case that went back to Thanksgiving 2013, where the whole incident first happened.
According to The Inquisitr, the Gisele Paris Pittsburg case first became news last Friday, when the verdict was first announced. it seems that the police and prosecutors said that Gisele Paris, a 58, stole the dog from the property of owner Mark Boehler on Thanksgiving 2013, later on euthanizing it.
At the time, Boehler was being treated for cancer, stage 3 on his esophagus, and had been extremely worried to notice that his dog, Siberian husky Thor, was missing from his back yard, which was even fenced in.
Boehler had begged for his dog's safe return, but didn't realize his neighbor Paris had euthanized him until February 2014; then, he found out that Paris had called in a licensed veterinarian to her home to perform euthanasia on Thor.
According to The New York Daily News, Gisele Paris from Pittsburg (specifically from Spring Hill) said on the trial that she hadn't stolen the dog at all, but rather found him wondering in the streets nearby, neglected and sick; however, the owner and a veterinarian who testified in the case claim the dog was perfectly healthy, and definitely was not suffering from any life-threatening issues at the time.
It seems that Gisele Paris from Pittsburg was, according to trial transcripts obtained by Post-Gazette, "on a criminally delusional mission to take Thor from a situation, from conditions that she didn't approve of."
Paris will face her sentencing on March 10, and it could go from probation to up to 10 years of jail time under charges of unlawful taking stolen property and cruelty to animals.
