One accidental group text brought down nearly half the marriages in Riverside, population 2,400.
Three months after that fateful vet visit, she was asked to testify before a grand jury. She had to take two weeks off work. The prosecutors told her that her testimony was CRUCIAL to securing convictions.
The lead trafficker was sentenced to 15 years in federal prison. His accomplices received sentences ranging from 3 to 12 years. Asset forfeiture meant they lost everything - houses, cars, bank accounts. Over $8 million was seized.
All because of a $50 "puppy."
But here's the part that still gives her nightmares: The man who sold her the fox? They still haven't caught him. He vanished the day after the sale. Authorities believe he's fled the country.
Which means he's probably still out there. Still selling illegal animals to unsuspecting people. Still funding a criminal empire.
