New information is emerging into the bizarre case involving dead animals found in a vacant Pahrump home.

Investigators are now saying the dogs were carefully wrapped up and placed in an unplugged refrigerator outside.

Whoever is responsible for the disturbing act is still on the loose.

The behavior really worries animal control. If that suspect is capable of doing that to pets, what could they do to the human population?

Action News finally got some paperwork from animal control on Wednesday, showing they have been called out the home half a dozen times before this all blew up last Friday when the dogs were found in the fridge.

Documents detail the lengthy history with animal control, dating back a few years. The filthy Pahrump home, found with dozens of dead animals, has sparked outrage.

Why wasn't an investigation launched before last week, when decaying dogs were found in the fridge and freezer, especially after a disturbing discovering was made in January?

"When we're turning 500 calls a month, the resources with three officers, we just can't justify following up on it unless we have something we can definitely work with and in this case we were left with very little," said Vance Payne with Nye County Animal Control.

It's believed the tenant skipped town last fall, leaving no trail behind. There is no fingerprint evidence that could even connect him or her with these crimes.

Right now, a lot's riding on the results of four carcasses, soon to be examined in Clark County. From there, the district attorney will see if there's enough to prosecute.

"Is it against the law to take your dead animal and put them in a freezer? No it's not. But 35? Or whatever the number ends up being? Carefully wrapping them and laying them side to side in a freezer? This is stuff out of a movie," said Payne.

The district attorney has now assigned one of his own investigators to help handle this case. If they're able to find the suspect, and if they have enough to pin them to the crimes, then they'll prosecute.

But right now, the chances of that are looking slim to none.
