East Texas family warns of local dognappers after their family pet was found 5 weeks later
FLINT, Texas (KETK) – This is Dude who was taken by a stranger, but recently found, after he wandered into a random home. The family Dude stumbled upon had luckily seen his missing posters on social media, so they quickly made a call to see if the dog they had was in fact Dude. And happily, for Dude’s family, it was.
His family says the day he was taken was earth-shattering for them. “He means the world to us, we’ve had him since day one, he goes on trips with us, he sleeps with me every night,” said Mason Richardson, his owner.
They say the day he was found, five weeks late, 30 pounds lighter, and nameless, put their world right back together again.
“When I asked him for hugs, he jumped up and gave me the biggest Dude hug and I just lost it and started crying because then you knew then that that was Dude,” said Richardson.
They still can’t believe Dude is home, especially after they say they watched the white van (pictured below) steal him from his own backyard.
“We saw the image of him leaving and you just wanted to reach through that camera, but there was nothing that you could do to stop it and so we weren’t able to pull up the license plate on the van, we have the full image of it, but it wasn’t clear enough to be able to get the plate numbers off of it,” said Richardson . “We did see the people in it and we’ve given that over to police so that they can try to identify the two people that were in the image.”
They believed wallpapering his picture online would get the word out about the dognapper and bring Dude home. “I think people need to be aware that people will target your dogs, there’s obviously a white minivan or SUV that we’ve seen four or five dogs missing from,” said Heather McCarty, an animal rescuer.
A few other things to keep in mind, chain link fences give predators a front-row seat to when you’re dog might be outside alone, so they suggest staying with your animals.
Nicholas Pet Haven says to remember that when a dog is out on its own for even a short amount of time, their instincts might kick in and they may run from you when you call their name. They say that it’s better to offer to take them home or ask them if they are hungry. They will warm up to comfort words and may be easier to catch and get home to safety.
Dr. Gary Spence at Spence & White Veterinary Hospital, who treated Dude, says a simple microchip procedure will make your animal less desirable to dognappers. Dude was home safe on Thursday and by Monday, he had his chip implanted.
AnnaLise Coble Justice For Judy
JUSTICE FOR JUDY: 29 years later, daughter of missing East Texas woman still looking for answers
It’s 29 years ago in small-town Texas, the city is Grand Saline, the population 2,651. Judy Marie Foster was 37 years old.
“She was spunky, she was 5-foot-1, blonde-headed, big old beautiful blue eyes and had a heart of gold,” said Jamie Easley, her daughter.
Easley was just 12 years old on that fateful September night in 1990. Her mother had spent much of the night breaking the news of her impending divorce.
“We rode around town for a couple of hours, she wanted to talk to me, she felt bad about it, it got late, she took me home,” said Easley.
As they were entering the gray house on the corner of Florence and High St. around 2 a.m., Foster remembered she forgot to stop by the store. It was just four minutes away.
“She forgot a pack of cigarettes, so she went, she said I’ll be right up to the store and I’ll get a pack of cigarettes and I’ll be right back,” said Easley.
And it was that drive to a local EZ Mart that would change Jamie Easley’s life forever. “She just never came back,” Easley said somberly.
But her car was found in the Grand Plaza Shopping Center off Highway 80 about a week later, less than five minutes from their home.
“I know there are rumors, there are things that are harsh, heartbreaking, disturbing,” explained Easley. All these years later she is still waiting for the moment when she can finally exhale.
“We don’t know where she’s at, there’s nobody, it’s just, you know this past week was 29 years and it takes a toll on you,” said Easley. “I just want to know whats, I want to know something, I need closure.”
For almost three decades, she’s been hard at work herself. Over the years, sending in requests to Unsolved Mysteries and even Rosie O’Donnell. She’s been asking the hard questions to law enforcement and even working with private investigators to find answers.
All the while, holding tight to the memories, like the Mr. T doll Foster made for Easley after realizing her love for the A-team. Other small items like her mother’s favorite hat have stuck with her over the years as well. But more than the material things, memories flood into her mind when she thinks about the woman she remembers so fondly.
“She’d turn on the radio and it would be The Supremes, or Diana Ross, or The Temptations, Johnny Cash, George Strait, she loved music and we would just dance all around the living room and those are memories that I’ll never forget,” said Easley. “Even on days when I got in trouble and I got sent to my room, you could count that by the end of the day, we were still in the living room, ended up in there dancing.”
