Reported by Tom Williams
|
|
Date/Time 11-1188 1145 mst
|
|
Officer assigned 387-England
|
|
|
|
Details: This morning Tom Williams found one of his Herford steers dead
|
|
in the field of his "mother-in-law", Mrs.O.Hughs. He had been keeping
|
|
several head there and feeding them there. The last time he had been in the
|
|
field was 11-10-88 to feed the animals. The animal was laying on it`s right
|
|
side and had a bloody froth at the mouth, blood on the ground and on the
|
|
anus. The anus had been cut out along with the mamary organs. The animal
|
|
was a steer about two years old. I took the following pictures: #4 facing
|
|
north of the stomach #5 facing west hind quarters #6 facing east close-
|
|
up of head #7 & 8 close up genital area #9 & 10 anus close up # 11 & 12
|
|
possible needle tracks in meat and hide.
|
|
With Larry Jindrich, (Fish and Game officer #508) assisting me we took
|
|
flesh and blood samples. There were no other exterior marks on the animal
|
|
other than the cuts on the anus and the mamary glands. There were no broken
|
|
bones or holes in the hide.
|
|
When in the process of taking a flesh specimen Jindrich noticed what looked
|
|
like a needle track in the right rear hip. I took pictures of this area. We
|
|
took a two inch deep by about four inch square piece of flesh from this
|
|
area. Also we took a piece of hide that covered this area. Williams gave
|
|
me a large shringe to collect a blood specimen. I took the sample from the
|
|
neck area after Jindrich cut the area open to find a vein.
|
|
Both areas that were cut open showed signs of brusing before death.
|
|
It is possible that the animal had been roped around the neck by the signs
|
|
of brusing in the cut we made. When we opened the carcass on the right
|
|
hip there was brusing showing on the very rear part of the carcass.
|
|
I do have photographs of this.
|
|
I was able to collect about 18 mls of blood. The blood is labeled #1,
|
|
the flesh is labeled # 2, and the hide is labeled #3 . On packaging I
|
|
requested to look for signs of sedative and/or poisons. The evidence will
|
|
be taken to the lab in Pocatello.
|
|
There was no signs of struggle. It had rained during the night and the
|
|
other animals had trampled out what tracks there could have been.
|
|
The only house that was occupied at that time was Mrs. O. Hughs. Williams
|
|
told me he had talked to her and she had not seen anything. There is one
|
|
other house in the area with windows facing the scene, but was unoccupied
|
|
at the time ..
|
|
NOTE: Dr.Ipsen the veterinarian told me that when a animal bloats it
|
|
causes hemoraging in the head, neck and shoulders.

|
Nature of incident: Dead Cow
|
|
incident number: 1988-745
|
|
Location: Samaria
|
|
Officer assigned:B. England
|
|
Received by: Bernice Weeks (dispatcher)
|
|
Date/Time: 11-12-88 1726 mst
|
|
|
|
Details: After my day shift on 11-12-88 I was contacted at home by sheriff`s
|
|
dispatcher. She told me another mutilated cow had been foun. It belonged
|
|
to Rex Daniels of Saint John. His cows are in the field just north of
|
|
rancher Tom Williams place. It is about a mile from the road where the
|
|
dead cow was found. There are three ways to get down to the field. One
|
|
is to drive down Tom Williams driveway, the other from the road is about
|
|
a mile and a half to the west of Williams driveway. The only other way is
|
|
just north of Samarea, a lane that goes down behind Williams house. The
|
|
road ends about a half mile before the place the cow was found. From this
|
|
road to walk to the place the cow is, there is Skunk creek and a canal
|
|
about seven feet wide.
|
|
Rick and Lynn Higley found the animal sometime on the 12th, they have
|
|
cattle in the ajoining field. I went to Dr.M.Ipsen`s the veterinarians
|
|
house and picked up some needles and shringes. I asked him if he wanted to
|
|
come over and see what was the cause of death. He followed me over to the
|
|
field and assisted me.
|
|
The cow with tag # 209, was laying on her left side, belly facing to
|
|
the north. The right side of her mouth and cheek had been cut away.
|
|
Looking at the cut, the person making it had to have pulled the lip out
|
|
and cut through the hair down through the skin. The anus and vulva had also
|
|
been cut out. The outer portion of the "lips" had been cut out in a hollow
|
|
type circle. The only other damage I could find was that behind the hocks
|
|
on the back legs showed some blood. On closer look there was no signs of
|
|
rope marks. There were several little points that had been bleeding.
|
|
Dr. Ipsen told me that these could have been made by "heel flys". They
|
|
lay eggs on the hock, and when the egg hatches the larvae burrow into
|
|
the animal at that point. Daniels told me that the cow walked on the very
|
|
back portion of her feet, and this could explain the bleeding. I noticed
|
|
that her hooves were long and they did show signs of walking that way.
|
|
After taking pictures I cut open the neck and took 25 mls. of blood.
|
|
The blood in the veins was clotted, but the serum (sample) did come out.
|
|
I took a skin sample from her right hip, and under this I took a flesh
|
|
sample. These samples will be tested for some kind of sedative or poison.
|
|
There was a couple of drops of blood between the hind legs, down about
|
|
a foot from the vulva. I looked for any other signs of bleeding and
|
|
could not find any besides out of the nose and where the portions of
|
|
her body had been cut, and on her heels. The cause of death is still
|
|
unknown at this time.
|
|
The cow was a five year old carrying a calf to be born in May. Her
|
|
sire is "EXPLOSION". She was also a herford. Mr.Daniels estimated her
|
|
value around $ 1000.00, aside from the profits of future calfs. She
|
|
was a registered herford.
|
|
The cuts around the anus closely resemble those made on Tom Williams
|
|
steer that from the signs was killed and mutilated the same night,friday
|
|
the 11 th of November 1988.
|
|
The following are the pictures I took, # 12 facing south-stomach of cow
|
|
including the Williams residence. # 13 facing east of the head, # 14 facing
|
|
north of cows back, # 15 facing west of cows rear end, # 16 & 17 close
|
|
up of head, # 18-19 close up anus-vulva area, # 20-21 blood on heels
|
|
(could be heel flys).
|
|
People who live in the general area are Ralph Hughs, to the west.
|
|
Dave Mills who lives to the south on the road, and Tom Williams who lives
|
|
to the south about 3/4 of a mile away. These houses have a view of the
|
|
field the cow is in. The last time that Daniels saw the cow was about a week
|
|
ago. The cow had not received any inoculations since early summer. Daniels
|
|
has no idea of who would do this.
|
|
|
|
NOTE: Dr.Ipsen told me that when a cow dies and bloats it will cause
|
|
hemorages in the neck, head and shoulders. When I cut open the neck
|
|
there were signs of hemorage in the neck muscles.

....................INTERVIEW OF TOM WILLIAMS & REX DANIELS.......................
|
|
|
|
The investigation and interview was done by Mike Fidler-Asst.State Director
|
|
of Idaho for MUFON. The two sheriff`s reports and the interview was compiled
|
|
and typed by Don Mason, State Director of Idaho for MUFON (computers-on-line).
|
|
In talking with Tom Williams, he added the following information.
|
|
On the steer of his that was mutilated that they did see where a nine inch
|
|
triangle was cut out of the steer, that ran from scrotum to the belly, with
|
|
the point of the triangle pointing towards the throat. One of the things that
|
|
Tom and Rex Daniels both noticed was that the coyotes wouldn`t bother to come
|
|
into the carcasses or near them.They being ranchers for many years have always
|
|
found that when a steer or cow dies in a field that the coyotes will always
|
|
come in for the "feast". Both ranchers remarked that they thought it was
|
|
strange that the animals didn`t hardly bleed and that the cuts made in them
|
|
was done with very much skill. Tom Williams stated that it had rained the night
|
|
before he found his steer and that he saw no human foot prints and only a few
|
|
hoof prints from some of the other cattle. Rex Daniels said; that when Rick
|
|
and Lynn Higley found his cow that they didn`t see any foot prints or vehicle
|
|
tracks in the area and when Rex went to the seen all he could find was the
|
|
two sets of prints that his neighbors had made.
|
|
Tom Williams said that about two years before at about the same time of year
|
|
he had another steer that had been mutilated in much the same way and that at
|
|
that time he had noticed there was no tracks around the carcass or foot prints,
|
|
and that the sheriff`s office was never able to determine the cause of death.
|
|
After that incident Williams kept a close eye on his stock up until the later
|
|
part of this summer. He did state that this type of incident does occur every
|
|
so often in their area and that no one has ever been seen doing such things.
|
|
Williams and Daniels after talking to the Deputy (England) feel that it is
|
|
being done by some kind of a satanic cult group and the deputy bases this on
|
|
the fact that they found a triangle marking on a highway overpass not to far
|
|
from where the ranchers both live. Williams did say that the deputy sheriff
|
|
took hide and flesh samples and sent them to a lab to be analyzed for any
|
|
type of seditives or poisons and that they lab report won`t be back for about
|
|
six weeks. According to Daniels, the Veterinarian that was present with the
|
|
deputy at the scene told him that it didn`t appear to him that the cow had
|
|
been poisoned or drugged, but that something that he might not be familar
|
|
with could have been used. At this time both Mike Fidler and myself (Don Mason)
|
|
are waiting for copies of the photographs taken and a copy of the lab report..
