OGDEN, Utah (AP) -- An Ogden car dealer found a charred cat in a pan of rice and vegetables outside his business.
"There were green bell peppers and sliced onions all on a bed of rice," said Ogden Police Lt. David Tarran. "It looked just like the cat had been cooked."
Police are trying to determine if the cat was alive or dead before the mutilation. That will determine if charges can be pursued.
"I can't even begin to understand who would do such a thing and why," Tarran said.
The cat was found Wednesday outside Roy's Cars and RVs in Ogden. The pan is being kept as evidence in case police need to find fingerprints.
