Cedar Crest man jailed for attacks on 'shape shifters'

Last Update: 11/07/2002 13:18:09

Police say a man killed and burned two animals and kidnapped and assaulted a woman because he thought they were "shape shifters."

Christopher Campbell, 42, is charged with extreme animal cruelty resulting in death, false imprisonment and aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.

Deputies initially tried to contact Campbell after a woman reported she had been smoking crack cocaine with Campbell and he "freaked out," locking her in a laundry room and firing a weapon through a window at her on October 30.

The woman told authorities she escaped through a window and called for help from a neighbor's house. Deputies could not locate Campbell on October 30.

On November 6, Campbell's parents contacted sheriff's deputies and requested a welfare check on him because he had mental and drug problems.

At Campbell's Cedar Crest home, deputies found the front and back porches were covered with honey and jam and the doorknobs were covered in butter, found the internal organs and fur of a small animal in the garage, and discovered the burnt remains of two domestic cats.

Deputies found Campbell naked in a closet in his home.

When questioned about the cats, Campbell said he could tell they were "shape shifters" and not cats by the shape of their eyes. He said he was in fear for his life and he had to destroy them.

When questioned about the woman who claimed to have been kidnapped, Campbell said a "shape shifter" had taken over her body, so he shut her in a laundry room and broke out a window to keep an eye on her. He said he later sprayed insecticide at the woman so she would leave through the window.

Campbell is being held in lieu of $100,000 bond. In addition to the surety, further conditions of any pretrial release include abstaining from illegal drugs, taking prescribed drugs in full and on time, and keeping all doctor and psychologist appointments.

Cedar Crest is on the East side of the Sandia Mountains near Albuquerque.

Yeah, and just when it seemed like NM had a brain by having Gary Johnson as guv for 8 years - they up and voted for Slick's buddy Bill Richardson.

Look at it this way. We did vote down the amendment that would have given this MENSA wannabe the right to vote.

Trained law enforcement officers know to look for these subtle behavioral clues...

Read it twice and still have a question?

What is a shape shifter?

Was this guy's initials "EB"? (insider Bigfoot joke)

[CougarGA7]

My imaginary friend just told me that a shape-shifter is an entity that has the ability to change form. ie. human changing into cat, cat turning into dog.

Kind of an Art Bell thing.

Probably Richardson voters.

Those are called Political-Position-Shifters.

That is werewolves or "shape shifters"-- people that supposedly can turn themselves into any form of animal.
