Family living in fear after their dog was poisoned and car was destroyed by explosive amid slew of bizarre attacks
2025-02-07
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] A Missouri family is living in fear amid their evil neighbors' reign of terror that has already left their dog poisoned and their car totaled.

The unidentified victims had bought a house on Beachwood Avenue in Pine Lawn, and enjoyed living there - even becoming active in the community, KMOV reports.

But a couple of months ago, a female neighbor punched the husband. The family says they believe she has mental health issues.

Things only got worse from there, though, when someone left a voodoo doll on the front porch, surrounded by rat poison.

The suspect had apparently also strewn rat poison in the front yard, and the family dog ate some. He then had to be rushed to an animal hospital.

Then in December, a man was recorded on the couple's surveillance cameras walking around to the back of the house, where an explosive device went off.

Surveillance footage showed smoke coming from the back porch, and the family said the explosion blew the door handle off the back door.

The family dog ingested some rat poison that was left on the front lawn, and had to be rushed to a local animal hospital.

On Friday, what appeared to be the same man was recorded lighting something on fire and dropping it on one of the cars in the driveway.

The car was destroyed, and a second one was damaged.

'They're terrified they're going to get hurt. They have to sleep in shifts now,' a friend of the family's told KMOV. 'I'm really scared for them.'

He added that the wife 'had to leave her job because of being stressed out' about what the neighbors might do next, and now, 'they're looking to move - because who could live there if they're setting your house on fire and putting bombs on your house.'

The North County Police Cooperative is investigating the targeted attacks on the family, and a spokesman said investigators are taking the reports very seriously.
