Crime mini- Episode 3- Cruelty Unmasked: The Tale of Two Troubled Teenagers (August 28, 2003)

Welcome back to another gripping episode of In Time Crime, Crime Mini! How are you all doing this wonderful Thursday afternoon? Today, your host Robin Bagayoko is releasing two bonus episodes to make up for the Sundays missed. And remember, Sundays are for our full-length episodes, while Thursdays are for our short, compelling crime minis.

In this disturbing yet intriguing crime mini, we dive into a harrowing tale from August 28, 2002. This isn’t your typical true crime story about people; it’s about a heinous act of animal cruelty committed by two teenage brothers. These young boys exhibited alarming behaviors that often precede more serious criminal tendencies.

Join us as we recount the chilling events where these boys set a beautiful red-tailed hawk on fire, urinated on it, and dragged it along the pavement. This horrifying act, discovered by a vigilant neighbor, shocked the community of Long Island and was described as one of the worst cases of animal torture in Suffolk County history.

Robin delves into the psychology behind such actions, drawing connections to the early behaviors of known serial killers and stressing the importance of early intervention. It’s a cautionary tale about the potential future menace lurking in disturbed youth and the urgent need for intervention.

Don’t miss this thought-provoking episode that underscores the importance of awareness and action. And stay tuned for the bonus episodes dropping tomorrow. Remember, true crime is not for you to live in fear, but to be aware. Join us on this journey into the dark corners of the human psyche and be part of the conversation.
