Atlanta police are asking for help identifying a possible suspect in what investigators described as one of the most disturbing animal cruelty cases they have handled.
Two dogs were found dead inside an Atlantic Station parking garage after a man arrived to clean, police said.
Investigators said surveillance video from last summer shows an unidentified man walking two dogs along 16th Street NW before taking them into the parking garage. About 20 minutes later, cameras captured him again without the dogs.
Police said they worked with the Georgia Bureau of Investigation and the University of Georgia, where necropsies confirmed both dogs were strangled to death.
Investigators said they are looking for a male with a white goatee, between 5-feet-6-inches and 5-feet-9 inches tall, with tattoo sleeves on both arms.
Anyone with information is urged to contact police at 470-312-3090.
