In Fremont, a puzzling case unfolded when two sheep were found dead and disfigured at the Centerville Train Station. The incident occurred on April 13, and the police were alerted by Amtrak authorities around 2:30 p. m. The sheep were identified as Dorper sheep, a breed known for their toughness and ability to thrive in various climates. They can grow quite large, reaching up to 270 pounds and 30 inches in height.

The discovery was grim. One sheep was found on a park bench, decapitated and with its insides removed. Nearby, there were several bags. One contained another decapitated sheep, and another held the sheep's intestines or internal organs. The initial examination was inconclusive, so the remains were sent to a specialized lab for DNA testing. A forensic veterinarian at UC Davis eventually identified the species.

The police have since concluded that there is no evidence of any sinister or ritualistic activity. As a result, the case has been suspended. This means that, for now, the mystery of how the sheep were killed and who might be responsible remains unsolved. The police did not provide details on how the sheep were killed or if they could trace ownership. No one had reported the sheep missing, adding to the mystery.

Dorper sheep are a South African breed, valued for their hardiness. They are often raised for their meat and wool. Their adaptability makes them a popular choice for farmers in different regions. The fact that these sheep were found in such a state raises questions about animal welfare and the importance of reporting missing livestock.

Anyone with information about this incident is encouraged to contact Fremont Animal Services. They can speak directly with Sgt. Antonio Ceniceros.
