FORT PIERCE, Fla. A criminal investigation is underway at the Humane Society of St. Lucie County's Fort Pierce location.
A team of at least a dozen detectives served a search warrant late Wednesday morning and into the afternoon, giving them full access to the property.
Detectives could be seen in areas where animals are housed or cared for, and nearly every one of the multiple buildings on property. After a few hours, detectives were seen carrying out boxes of documents and computers.
Detectives say the search warrant was approved as part of a felony criminal investigation, though it is too soon for detectives to say which specific crime or potential criminal charge they are pursuing through the investigation.
WPTV confirmed the investigation was prompted by a complaint from volunteer Dale Mutchler, who made headlines as the volunteer who found the body of Christine Liquori in May.

Police went to the facility on Savannah Road east of U.S. 1 about 2:17 p.m.
“This incident involved an adult volunteer, who is deceased,” police stated in a news release issued at 5:02 p.m, May 9th.
Looks like there is more at work at the Humane Society of Port St Lucie than meets the eye. A dog walkers death in the afternoon.
Yes.
Good about time. The refusal of the Humane Society to allow the city of Fort Pierce to review an audit of the shelter done by Best Friends’ Animal Society sure raised red flags for me.
