In the past month, residents in two Miami neighborhoods found more than two dozen dead cats. Some had been skinned, and it appears a sharp, straight instrument was used in some cases, police said.

Many of the felines were found in the same neighborhoods where Weinman splits his time living with his divorced parents.
