Oh,
dude. Really sorry for what you're about
to see. They're going to have to call a
hazmat crew. One, two. There's two here.
Yeah. One, two, two, three, when a foul
odor begins to fill a family home,
residents inspect their garage only to
find a scene of unimaginable horror. The
following report is based on official
police records, and the footage has
never been seen before until now. Please
note that all persons charged with a
crime are presumed innocent unless and
until proven guilty in a court of law.
On November 15th, 2024 in Battleground,
Washington, a police sergeant arrives
responding to an animal cruelty report
from a man named Zeus, who says he
forced entry into their locked garage
after his grandfather noticed a foul
smell. Inside, he found several deceased
dogs. He claims they belong to his
cousin, 35-year-old Andre Twiliger, who
left several days ago. Zeus shares with
the officer a few chilling observations
that offer only a glimpse into the
nightmare he'll soon see for himself.
You just see the the You can smell it
from out here, dude. Sitting on top of
the sitting on top of the rotting
carcasses and then sitting in like the
rib cage of Yeah. I don't know. like
forced to eat their their puppies, but
flipped over and I see the grave. So, he
knew that they were in there just that
they were dying and didn't do about it.
And it looks like there's already a I'd
imagine that's a grave right there.
Okay. I don't know if anything is
actually in there or if he was just
prepping. Yeah. Okay. All right. An
animal control officer arrives to join
the sergeant in examining the garage,
but first learns that not all of the
dogs inside have perished. So, there are
there are four alive dogs, two puppies
right here in the front door. I I
brought them in last night and gave him
some food and water. Okay. Uh two alive
big dogs. Seemed they seemed pretty
friendly. They got a little aggressive
when I went in there to feed them. But
So, did he just leave like yesterday or
something? My grandpa said he hasn't
seen them for 2 or 3 days. So, that's
when he asked me to go in there last
night. I mean, there's graves on the
side of the house, so we knew the dogs
were dead and just rotting in there. It
doesn't look like anything is in the
grave, but it looks like he dug in
preparation for one of them dying. The
grave looks empty, but since the rain
has fallen, it's kind of corroded in
there. Horrific in there. Yeah, he
locked me out of the garage. No one
could get in there. So, how many dogs
did he have that you're aware of? Four.
I only knew of two dogs. Two of his two
friendly dogs, but me and him, we don't
we don't talk really. He's Okay, fair
enough. He kind of just pops in here and
causes a bunch of trouble and then
leaves. But there's a lot of a lot of
dead dogs in there and I don't know how
many. The sergeant and animal control
officer each put on a gas mask and
gloves before heading inside the garage.
Absolutely.
This is honestly worse than I thought it
was going to
be. What is that? I don't know. Look
like something sparked.
Yeah. Yeah.
Careful. I got an extinguisher. If we
need one, just let me know. I think it
was that cord. It must have a short in
it. Yeah.
God mercy.
Reports note that the garage is filled
with trash and that the floor is covered
in animal feces and urine. The filth and
debris obscures the full scope of the
horror, making it a challenge to locate
and count the dead.
They're going to have to call a hazmat
crew. A detective will return later,
uncovering the grim truth of exactly how
many dogs lay buried in the debris. For
now, the sergeant heads inside to speak
with Zeus and Andre's grandfather, as
well as locate the living dogs.
These are new puppies.
Nice little
puppies. Hello.
And then the two of the two big adult
dogs there in the laundry room. Okay.
So, these guys were in the in the crate
with the dog that's dead. And uh there
was there was a cage that looked like
this out there and that's where we found
them. It was a little bigger, but there
was it was just full of dead puppies. I
didn't get
that. But
I didn't see dead puppies. Did you see
dead puppies? Big dogs, not dead
puppies. Dead dogs. So, what can you
tell me about uh the dogs with uh Andre?
Well, he showed up here a few months
ago.
Mhm. with a couple of dogs. One of them
ended up having puppies and he'd be in
and out and I never questioned him
because he was my oldest grandson. He
further explains that he was unaware the
animals had expired likely a while ago
because he hadn't been in the garage
himself for months. Dude's unemployed.
He he doesn't do anything at all except
stay at the
house full of dog food right here that
he wasn't using to feed the dogs at all.
And normally he took care of him and I
never questioned it because I'd always
ask him everything okay? How's the dog?
They're all fine. And then come to find
out they're not. And that's because my
grandson there and his girlfriend went
out to take care of him and found all
this problem. Yeah. Oh, cuz I was What's
the old adage? I had my head buried in
the freaking sand. Not judging you. Oh,
I know. It's just it bothers me because
I did not see it. Oh, yeah. Yeah. And
I'm usually pretty sharp about what goes
on in my house, but you know, trying to
be a nice guy and let have people stay
here. Yeah. Go for just come out and
bite me in the ass. And I don't know
where he's at. Last I heard, he was up
north. I don't know whether that's true
or not. With Andre absent from the scene
and unable to account for the travesty,
they prepare to leave, instructing the
family to leave the garage undisturbed
for now. The living dogs are taken by
the Humane Society for care and
treatment. In their report, they note
the puppy's fur was covered in soft and
liquid feces, and one of the adult dogs
was determined to have recently been
pregnant and nursing. 4 days later, on
November 19th, a detective accompanied
by an officer returns for a more
thorough examination of the garage. It's
during this second search that they make
a series of increasingly horrific
discoveries, each more gruesome than the
last.
Okay. I don't I don't know a whole lot
about what's going on here besides
saying there's some dead dogs in there.
So Oh, you haven't seen it? No. Oh,
dude. I'm really sorry for what you're
about to see.
I'm sorry,
man. Been doing this job long enough.
I've definitely seen some other things
if you're able to. I prefer since you
have the gloves. Sure.
Five. David one. Go for
it'll stay lifted all the way
15. Just put this dog in a
vice and
like try to cut it in
half. Is that the kind of information
you're getting? Mhm. You see you see
what I'm looking at here? Yeah. It looks
like a some sort of vice or the dog got
stuck in
it cuz it doesn't.
Dog was likely to eat a Was there Was
there other dogs in here? Yeah, sounds
like there was. So, they probably
started eating each other.
The dog closest to the garage door,
described as a white and black pitbull,
was found decomposing with the rearmost
portion of his pelvis and back legs
missing. The detective finishes putting
on his protective gear before going
inside to examine the rest. Do you know
any history on this guy? Yeah, looks
like I didn't finish reading it, but in
Camas, he had a similar situation happen
in Camas. Though the date is unknown,
reports note that the CAS Police
Department responded to a call of a
deceased pitbull in a plastic tote
alongside the road. Using a microchip
scanner, they learned its name was
Captain and he belonged to Andre. An
investigation concluded the dog had been
struck by a vehicle. So, you said four
corpses and some puppies or something
like that. Yeah. So, there's going to be
I think they found one in that kennel
back there. Uhhuh. Or they mentioned one
kennel. There's one behind that
mattress. Okay. David one
a second dog described as another black
and white pitbull is found beneath the
workbench lying on its side mostly
intact. One, two. There's two here.
Yeah. One, two, two or three right
there.
And there's a bunch of puppies here. at
least three cupcake. A third and fourth
dog were located inside a metal kennel
near the fridge, distinguishable from
their refues by their skeletons, which
were partially exposed. Another was
found near the back of the garage inside
a plastic crate, its door blocked by
debris. Inside was a cut open bottle
with some dog food, though there was no
bowl of water inside. Their examination
concludes with a devastating tally. Five
dogs have perished. Though they took
note of and photographed the supposed
grave site, the report makes no mention
of whether they found any dogs buried
there. Outside, Zeus continues to share
more insight into Andre's possible
mental state. He had nothing but free
time and just sat around doing nothing
while he was gone throughout here.
There's this like extension cord coming
from the attic, which I imagine it leads
to a camera cuz he was saying that
people were spying on him in the attic.
So, we had to put cameras up there to
stop them from spying on him. So, that's
why I'm adding the extension cord
probably leads to a camera. I'm sorry
you had to deal with this and see this,
man. I'm just glad I came out here when
I did, you know. Yeah. At least at least
some of the dogs are safe. Yeah. The
officer and detective head inside to
speak with Andre's grandfather one more
time. And before they leave, get a
shocking update about Andre. When was
the last time that he was here at the
house? 2 days ago. 2 days ago. Um, he
stopped by 2 days after the initial
report. So, Sunday.
And then Terry was telling me that um he
told him to leave, didn't tell him not
to come back. Why they didn't contact
the police is unclear and his
whereabouts after he left were unknown.
As for those who met their tragic end
inside the garage, a letter written by a
forensic veterinarian later explained
that due to the state of decomposition,
necropsy wouldn't have been able to
reveal a definitive cause of death for
the animals, attributing their causes of
death to a combination of starvation,
lack of nutrition, and/or dehydration,
and that the dog decomposing by the
overhead door was likely cannibalized by
the living dogs in an attempt by them to
stay alive. In her summary, she writes,
"The animals, both living and deceased,
suffered immeasurably and describes
their experience as akin to torture.
Ultimately, the deceased dogs were taken
by the Humane Society for disposal. A
warrant to arrest Andre was requested
for suspicion of five counts of animal
cruelty in the first degree and four
counts of animal cruelty in the second
degree. According to a Facebook post
from the city of Battleground,
Washington, on March 7th, 2025,
35-year-old Andre Twiliger was located
and taken into custody hours after their
initial post for information from the
public. It's unclear what charges he
faces, if any, at this time. On December
13th, 2024, all four of the living dogs
reportedly gained weight and were
determined to have no medical concerns.
All four were later adopted.
