The teenager accused of mutilating more than a dozen cats in South Miami-Dade was not the reserved yet rabid killer some expected. He was a dog-loving class clown, a swim class instructor, an 18-year-old who grew up before the eyes of the four-legged victims' families.
He appeared to be appalled by the horrific killings, and joined the Facebook group ``Catch the Cat Killer!''
Police said they were not fooled. They said Tyler Hayes Weinman's social networking led them to him. Sunday, Weinman was arrested in connection with 19 gruesome cat-killings.
The former Miami Palmetto Senior High School student split his time between divorced parents who lived in Palmetto Bay and Cutler Bay, the communities where the killings took place. Police, working with tips gathered from the community and reading his Facebook and MySpace pages, kept Weinman under surveillance for weeks.

And...your point is?!
Lots of people go to these events who aren’t gay or lesbian. They go because they do business with people who are of that sexual persuasion.
I’m involved in a commercial field involving fine arts. I interact with homosexuals all the time. It doesn’t mean I’m a lesbian, support their political aims, or have abandonned my life-long devotion to conservatism.
Most serial killers tend to kill and mutilate cats and dogs in their teen years. Hopefully we have staved this one off.
This story smells, sniff sniff.
The kid might have some “issues” if his folks split up so mom could pursue the fairer sex.
I know that it might seem a stretch for some, but whoever did these horrible things, seems as though they could be another Ted Bundy in the making. I remember reading that at the time the Bundy murders were going on, Ted was expressing alarm and concern for the safety of his female friends. When he was arrested people who knew him were sure that the police had made an awful mistake.
As for this kid, what type of person, if innocent, would smirk while being booked for 19 felonies? As a cat lover,I hope that if he is in fact guilty, they lock him up for a long time.
Cat murders must be felinies.
Could also be some sort of occultism connection.
Unfortunately, it’s unlikely that anything has changed except that the kid is now on the local police radar. If he’s headed in the direction of a mass murderer, he’ll likely resume at first chance...
Very well done! You’re quite sharp for this hour of the morning, wish I could make the same claim :)
My poor kitty is dying right now, and I’m of the opinion that there is a special place in Hell for people who torture and kill animals.
Glad they stopped this kid, thats one less crazy bastard roaming the streets of Miami.
He’s a sick POS.
The long paw of the law nailed him, I guess.
Want to bet that the cops embedded some kind of tracking device in a neighborhood cat?
I guess his parents are real proud with his stupid mug
on Drudge.
Good for Drudge to post it.
