Katarungan para sa kanilang asong ninakaw at natagpuang walang buhay sa North Las Vegas, USA, ang panawagan ng pamilya nina Angelika Schmeing (mas kilala bilang si DJ Angelicopter) at DJ Mo Twister.
Sina Angelicopter at Mo ang mga nagmamay-ari kay Bamboo, ang 10-year-old English bulldog na nawala noong Lunes, June 6, 2022 (U.S. time).
Nabagabag ang puso at galit ang nararamdaman nina DJ Mo at Angelika para sa mga tauhan ng flooring company na nagtrabaho sa kanilang kapitbahay dahil nakita sa surveillance video ang pagtangay ng mga ito kay Bamboo.
“He’s family to us. He’s all our kids know. Our kids are 8 and 12 years old. They still don’t know Bamboo is gone,” nagluluksa at lumuluhang pahayag ni DJ Angelicopter sa panayam sa kanya ng 8News Now Las Vegas.
“We asked you nicely to give him back or just tell us the truth and you lied to us,” sabi ni Angelika dahil sa iba’t ibang sagot ng mga tauhan ng flooring company nang kausapin niya.
Dagdag niya, “An old English bulldog can’t walk that far in the heat. It’s just so traumatizing to think about how his last few minutes were here.
"This business owner did not care. He just took someone else’s dog and now he’s dead, in this heat.”
Plano ni DJ Angelicopter na ipa-autopsy si Bamboo para malaman nila ni DJ Mo ang tunay na dahilan ng pagkamatay ng kanilang pet bulldog.
Bago nangyari ang panayam ng 8News Now, ginamit ni Angelika ang kanyang social media account sa paghahanap kay Bamboo.
Noong June 8, kinumpirma niya sa kanyang Facebook post na ninakaw si Bamboo noong June 7.
“Because he was stolen by these men from the yard next door, the police cannot arrest these men that admitted they took Bamboo and wanted to take him home.
“They eventually said they let him outside our subdivision gate when they got spooked he has a chip [I know this is a lie ‘coz this was the nth version of what they said they did to him]."
Dagdag pa niya, “Please do not ever work with Gonzalez Flooring And More in Las Vegas. One of the three people that stole Bamboo is the owner Diego Gonzalez. Please help us find Bamboo. He has a collar and a chip. The family is sad and we just want him back.”
Sa update ni Angelika, ang malungkot na balitang natagpuan na ang bangkay ni Bamboo ang kanyang ibinahagi.
“With help of NextDoor and Pawboost we were able to locate Bamboo and where his remains were found. The people that stole him left him/his body.
"Not sure exactly what happened from when they took him to where he was found. Police are investigating."
Pinasalamatan naman ni DJ Mo ang lahat ng mga tumulong sa kanila sa paghahanap kay Bamboo.
Saad niya sa kanyang Instagram post, “While we continue to deal with our loss, I do think it’s only right to tell you all how much we appreciate the level of support we have received from you all. People who know us and people who don’t.
“I’d like to thank @8newsnow and others for featuring our story today in our continuing attempt to fight this.
“A million thank you’s to the online community. We would have never recovered Bamboo if not for the Facebook/Instagram followers that messaged us that his body found in Aliante, LV where the kidnapper resides.
“Thank you to our neighbors for the surveillance footage and for being out there on the street with us coming together for our neighborhood.
“The @lvmpd detective assigned to our case from the Animal Cruelty Division promised us his very best effort."
May mensahe rin siyang ipinarating para sa mga nagnakaw at may kinalaman sa pagkamatay ng pet dog nila.
Saad ni DJ Mo, “The owner of the company, Gonzalez Flooring, also owns the truck Bamboo was last seen in. He was the guy that said he let Bamboo go in the streets near our home after admitting to police he stole Bamboo.
“I’ve heard people have called the business looking for answers and they changed their number today. I wouldn’t be surprised if they change their company name in an attempt to continue business.
“The co-owner is a nurse at @thevalleyhealthsystem. A nurse who is supposed to take care of life yet she’s married to the suspect and she was the contact person for the flooring company.
“You guys are battling for Bamboo and we can’t thank you enough. Run Free Bamboo, the killers will not be as fortunate.”
