Edwards can't say for sure if Kelley was lying about executing the dogs, but the thought was enough for her to wisely cut off all contact with him. Many serial killers begin their "killing careers" by killing small innocent animals and it appears Kelley was no different. In 2014, Kelley was caught and cited for cruelty to animals after many witnesses reported seeing Kelley punching a Husky with his fists before dragging the dog away by the collar. What a bully. The responding officer also noted that the dog appeared to be underfed - probably being starved by this sadomasochistic moron.
Kelley's neighbors also reported to animal control that Kelley's dog(s) were often times left out in the hot Texas sun with no food, shade or water. Another act of animal cruelty. The domestic violence charge that ultimately ended Kelley's career was severe enough to where he fractured the skull of his stepson who was then a toddler. Let's just say this was a bad guy; and the world has got to be a better or at least a safer place without him in it. I'm sure he has family who care about him and may be shocked at his actions. It's difficult to believe nobody knew this was coming - he was a ticking time bomb ready to explode - which he eventually followed through with.
If the dog killing allegations are true, this just goes to show what a complete and utter lack of respect for life this man had. What happened to him? was he always an angry man with a chip on his shoulder or was he driven to these acts by some event we are not yet aware of? Again, in my heart there are no reasons remotely valid enough to justify what he die and what he allegedly did; He will get his when he meets his maker. All we can do is offer support, prayers and donations to this church to help this Texas community heal and rebuild their church.
Better times are coming - keep the faith.
