miami; miami dade county notorious sociopath cat killer gets no bail july 10 2009

In an interview with police, accused cat killer Tyler Weinman eagerly detailed how to dissect cats, even describing the “tearing sound” made when cutting open a feline’s flesh, according to an arrest affidavit released Monday.
Miami-Dade police detectives concluded Weinman fits the bill of a “sociopath.”
The arrest affidavit, released one month after Weinman’s arrest, details a circumstantial case based on the teen’s suspicious late-night forays, cat claw scratches on his body and cryptic, disturbing comments about feline dissection.
The document reveals for the first time evidence used to arrest Weinman in a case that terrorized pet owners and generated national headlines. The warrant “speaks for itself,” said Miami-Dade prosecutor Elijah Levitt.
Weinman, however, in initial talks with police did not acknowledge killing any of the dozens of cats found mutilated across South Miami-Dade between April and June, according to the warrant. And no eyewitnesses to the killings were cited in the document.
“It’s really important to note that there is not one single witness in there that says that Tyler Weinman touched a cat — not one witness,” said David Macey, Weinman’s attorney.
Weinman, accused of slaying 19 cats in South Miami-Dade, was formally charged Monday during arraignment in Miami-Dade Circuit Court. He has pleaded not guilty.
Prosecutors made public the 10-page arrest warrant affidavit, which had been sealed because investigators were looking at other possible suspects. No further arrests have been announced.
Weinman is charged with 19 counts of felony animal cruelty, 19 counts of improperly disposing of an animal body and four counts of burglary for allegedly returning to homes to dump the cats.
Weinman is on house arrest, free on $249,500 bond. His lawyers will return to court Friday to ask a judge to return property seized by police after his arrest.
The case against Weinman could strengthen considerably; investigators are awaiting lab results on cutting tools found in searches of Weinman’s parents’ houses.
Police psychological profilers concluded the killer “would be referred to as a sociopath” — and detectives agreed Weinman fit the description.
“I’m not exactly sure where they came up with their conclusion or their junk science but all that’s going to be proven faulty,” Macey responded.
Prosecutors charged Hayes in connection with the mutilations of 19 cats, the first found on April 28 near Weinman’s home on the 19400 block of Ridgeland Drive in Cutler Bay.
One cat was posed with a slit down the its stomach. Another was missing the top of its mouth. Another was missing genitalia. The scenes were bloodless, meaning the cats were killed elsewhere and dumped at the scenes.
Among evidence cited by prosecutors:
On May 14 about 2 a.m., officers found him walking along Whispering Pines Road. A witness told police he saw Weinman walking and using his cell phone on the same street about an hour later — then three hours after that, another cat was found nearby.
The next night, a Miami-Dade sergeant found Weinman — clad in black, wearing a backpack — skateboarding in Cutler Bay. Weinman laughed when the sergeant suggested he keep his cats indoors.
On May 15, officers stopped Weinman when he ran a red light in Cutler Bay. They found a “cutting tool” he apparently threw outside his driver’s side window. The tool was impounded. Weinman was arrested for marijuana possession.
During that arrest, officers noticed a “prominent red-colored scratch across the right side of Weinman’s neck.” He claimed it came from feeding a stray cat at his mother’s house — he then eagerly showed detectives another scratch on his back.
“The cat climbed down my back,” Weinman told Miami-Dade Detective Dominick Columbro.
Police attached an electronic tracking device to his car that pinpointed him in the immediate area of one killing reported June 6. A witness also told police that a suspicious black car — similar to Weinman’s — was seen casing the street as detectives pored over the crime scene. The car sped off.
Weinman, at length, described dissecting cats, which he learned during an anatomy class at Palmetto Senior High. To police, he noted (with excitement) that cats for dissection could only be received from Mexico, the warrant said.
During his interview, he seemed almost to be toying with investigators.
Detective Columbro asked what tools someone would use to kill cats.
“I don’t know but I’m sure they are very well-hidden,” he said.
How do you think the cats are captured, he asked.
“They either have to be tranquilized or poisoned,” Weinman replied.
While he did not admit to any cat killings, he did disclose to investigators that he ”despises” his father. In media interviews, his father and stepmother have said they own several cats.

Fmr. Miami Police Captain Shot To Death At Marina
61-Year-Old Robert Yee, 26 Years In The Force, Retired 1995
Veteran Officer Had Survived Being Shot As A Cop
Shooter’s Car: Newer Model Toyota, Tag X50 0IJ
As a Miami police officer, Robert R. Yee survived 26 years on the mean streets of the city, but he could not survive the volley of bullets that struck him at point blank range Friday afternoon at a Marina on the Miami River.
Yee, who retired as a Captain from the Miami force in 1995, was murdered in broad daylight about 12:45 Friday afternoon at the Hurricane Cove Marina on Northwest North River Drive where he worked as the boatyard manager.
Miami City Commissioner Angel Gonzalez, who had known Yee since he was a rookie on the police department, came to the scene when learning of his long time friend’s death.
“A gray car pulled in to the parking lot, he walked up to the car, he got shot, and the car sped off,” Gonzalez told CBS4 reporter Gary Nelson. “We don’t know what it was about, what the motive might have been.”
Sources told CBS4 News Yee was shot “execution,” style, as if the shooting was a “hit” of some sort. Sources said the victim was shot several times, twice in the head.
A golf cart that Yee used to get around the sprawling marina property was parked in the middle of a paved area, feet from where he fell. He was pronounced dead at Jackson Memorial Hospital’s Ryder Trauma center.
About two hours after the shooting, police issued a BOLO (be on the lookout) for a late model, silver-gray Toyota Corolla with Florida license plate X50 0IJ. The driver was described as a very short white male, with short, balding hair and a goatee. Miami homicide chief John Buhrmaster declined to comment on the investigation, but stressed the importance of locating the vehicle, believed to have been used in the slaying.
Yee had a storied and at times heroic career with the police department, surviving a slug from a robber’s gun during a 1978 Burger King robbery on Flagler street.
“He was an excellent person and outstanding officer,” Gonzalez said. “We really were very proud of him.”
The Yee family had endured an earlier tragedy, the murder of his daughter eight years ago. The burned body of Diana Yee was found in a torched car in North Miami-Dade in June of 2001. Her boyfriend was charged with killing her in a dispute over a child they had together. He is serving life in prison.
Law enforcement runs in the Yee family. He has another daughter who is an officer with the Doral police department.
Armando Aguilar, the president of the Fraternal Order of Police, and a colleague of Yee’s for many years, was among those who gathered at the murder scene Friday along the gritty Miami river. “He was a solid, clean cop,” Aguilar said of Yee. “It was heroic, the things he did.”
