According to WFTV, 21-year-old Christian Hunter would decapitate the small rodents and leave the remains in a box on the side of a road. A neighbor found the box on Jan. 5 and told deputies from the Collier Sheriff’s Office that she found several more within the past year. The gruesome box also contained bloody wipes, an empty package for scissors, a fingernail file package, and a pet store receipt.

The pet store where Hunter purchased the hamster from said he used a fake name and paid $14.99 around 5:16 p.m. on Jan 4. Hunter later confirmed the transactions during an interview with detectives and said he would kill the animals to relieve stress and anger.
