After nearly a year, Montgomery County authorities are still looking for a suspect in an animal cruelty case near Liberty.

 

Nearly one year ago, on July 9, 2025, Montgomery County Sheriff's deputies responded to the area a McTaggert's Dam northwest of Liberty where they found the remains of five dogs. Deputies determined that the dogs had been shot and left in the open to die.

 

Officials say, since that time, no arrests have been made and all leads have been a dead end, though the case remains open.

 

The Montgomery County Sheriff's Office asks anyone with information on the case to contact them at 620-330-1000 or message them on their official Facebook page.
