St. Croix, VI-(Before you ask why is this on the NetPosse.com page, YES, the Virgin Islands are a part of the United States. So technically, this is an American horse.) St. Croix is a small island-you would think that it would be too small for anyone to steal a horse. You'd be wrong.
This little mare was purchased as a therapy horse for the boy who lived there who has Attention Deficient Hyperactivity Disorder. She'd been stolen from there several times and returned to her owner. But at 7 pm on April 3, 2015, she was found down, terribly injured.
Examination revealed that someone had brutally beaten and stabbed her around her head, neck, chest, and shoulders. The vet recommended euthansia.
The police are asking for assistance in solving the crime. Information can be called in to 1-340-778-2211 ext. 6102, or the 911 emergency call center or the anonymous tip service, Crime Stoppers USVI, at 1-800- 222-8477.
