Charges have been filed against a woman accused of dumping 25 bags of animal remains in the Utah desert near St. George, all belonging to Las Vegas families who had entrusted a local cremation service.
It all started with two beloved animals: a little cat and a big dog.
Christina Palmer recollects, “My husband and I got him when he was a kitten.”
Their beloved cat, Pumpkin, passed away earlier this year. Christina and her husband turned to First Call Pet Cremation in South Central Las Vegas, owned by licensed funeral arranger Rick Senninger, to ensure a proper farewell.
However, their hopes were soon forgotten when five months passed with no contact from First Call, leaving the family in despair. However, Finally, in October, Christina reached out to Senninger, who agreed to deliver the cat’s ashes, pawprint, and a lock of its hair.
For the Konold family, their ordeal took a different turn. They contacted First Call in July to help end their dog Mooger’s suffering as his health deteriorated.
