Description

When 71-year-old Thomas Perez Senior failed to return home after a short walk to his mailbox in Fontana, California, his son Tom wasn’t overly concerned. He suspected his father had just gone to visit friends or family and would return home of his own accord. But when police arrived at the Perez home to complete a missing person’s report, they came to suspect something else entirely.

the police were jackasses. what the hell did they have against the son to try to kill his dog after all this. this story is infuriating. these police involved in this case are seriously the worse cops and they all had better been crucified or at least fired.

Shocking! Makes you wonder if the nurse hadn't broken protocol, what would have happened?

I miss the writer/writers from Casey's old days. I'm not sure what exactly but something has changed the thread.... line of story telling.

wtf? their actions post finding the dad alive were worse than their interrogation of the son. beyond belief. taking his dog without charging the son was disgraceful too. it's clear they tried everything they could to expose any crime so as to justify their actions.
