Tyler Hayes Weinman
The young man you see smirking in the mugshot to the left here is eighteen-year-old Tyler Hayes Weinman. Tyler doesn’t like cats. Hmm. Let me rephrase that – Tyler Weinman really HATES cats. Combine that fact with a sociopathic personality and some lingering resentment over his parents divorce and what you end up with in nineteen dead and mutilated felines in a one mile stretch from Palmetto Bay to Cutler Bay in Florida.
Starting a little over a month ago until June 14th, a total of about 35 cats were killed, mutilated and left for their owners to find in the morning. While many of the deaths could be attributed to animal attacks, 19 of the bodies showed obvious signs that a human being was responsible. The cuts were clean, almost surgical, and at least one of the cats had been posed for maximum effect after it was mutilated (Click Here to see a map of the locations of dead cats).
“Cami” was among the first to go. A shy old calico from Cutler Bay, she was found on May 13 in a neighbor’s yard with her eyes gouged out and her snout cut off. “Miss Kitty,” was found dead in a yard next to her owner’s house; her skull was crushed, and her hind legs were skinned. Others were found with their stomachs sliced open. There is a short video on YouTube which shows some of the injuries suffered by the murdered cats, which I will not post here. If you want to see it yourself, it’s pretty easy to find. I watched it, and it’s hard to believe a person could do those things to a living, breathing creature that feels pain.
Naturally, cat owners in the two towns affected were up in arms and demanded action. The owners of the dead kitties were heartbroken, and as their stories began to pop up in newspapers and on TV news reports, animal lovers everywhere reacted with anger and demanded that police find the person or persons responsible. Both Cutler Bay and Palmetto Bay are suburbs of Miami, so Miami-Dade police took on the investigation.
They soon received several tips pointing to Tyler Weinman. As they investigated further, Cops found a handful of suspicious comments on Weinman’s MySpace page that appeared to be veiled references to his involvement in the cat killings. They also went to a Facebook site called “Catch the Cat Killer!”, and found that Weinman was a member and had also left curious comments there.
Now police were very interested in Tyler Weinman. They actually went to the Palmetto High School senior prom and pulled him out in his Tuxedo in order to question him about his involvement in the deaths. They put him under surveillance, although they would not discuss the type of surveillance they used.
Investigator also discovered that Weinman’s parent’s were divorced. Now get this guys – His father lives in Palmetto Bay, and his Mother’s home, where Tyler lives, is in the Whispering Pines neighborhood of none other than Cutler Bay, the same neighborhood where the first four of the cat mutilations occurred. Another interesting tidbit is the distance between mom and dad’s homes. Comon’ I don’t have to tell you, do I? Alright, yeah, it’s a mile, and the route Tyler would most likely walk to get from one to the other is basically the some mile-long stretch where the 19 bodies of dead and mutilated cats were discovered.
It didn’t look good for young Tyler Weinman. Saturday night, June 13th, he went to a party at the home in Coral Gables. Around midnight, investigators thoroughly searched his mother’s house. Around 12:30 a.m., two plain clothes policemen walked into the house in Coral Gables and asked for Weinman. Then, they quietly walked him outside.
Tyler Hayes Weinman was arrested and charged with 19 felony counts of animal cruelty, 19 misdemeanor counts of improperly disposing of an animal body and four felony counts of burglary. He was taken into custody and held on $154,000 bail, which his parents quickly arranged for through a bail bondsman.
However, at his arraignment, Miami-Dade Circuit Judge Mindy Glazer increased Weinman’s bond to $249,500, and ordered a psychiatric evaluation to determine whether he is a risk to himself or others. If and when he is released, he will be on house arrest, monitored via an electronic ankle bracelet. As of this this moment, a hearing is scheduled for today, when Judge Glazer will determine if Weinman can be released.
Three Facebook paged have popped up since Weinman’s arrest. One is pro-Tyler, Justice for Tyler, and two are anti-Tyler, Bring Tyler Weinman To Justice and Justice For Miami Cat Mutilations!. The debate gets pretty hot and heavy on these sites, and it doesn’t help that the anti-Semitic crackpot element haven’t missed this opportunity to take a shot at the fact that Weinman happens to have a Jewish surname.
Anyway, from what I could find out about this kid, he’s not the innocent ‘boy next door’ he appears to be. I found a link to a saved copy of his MySpace page (Click Here) which looks pretty normal, but I also discovered he has two arrests as a juvenile and one this past May for pot possession. I also found out that his stepmother, who he reportedly does NOT get along with, is a cat lover and owns somewhere between 3 and 5 cats (I could never get a solid number, although rumors that she owns over a dozen are certainly false). I also found a website that had quoted from several instant message conversations which threw some doubt on his sexuality, but I have my doubts about the veracity of their “evidence”.
I waited a few days to write this story, because I wanted to take my time and wade through all the bullshit that’s out there about this case. I also wanted to be comfortable in my conclusions, because if the cops are wrong about this kid, his life is ruined.
I don’t think they are. They’ve been pretty tight-lipped about their evidence, because the investigation is still ongoing, but there’s a lot of circumstantial evidence pointing to Tyler Weinman. They seem pretty confident they’ve got the right guy, and I have a feeling that during their surveillance they caught Weinman in the act. If he is the killer of these cats, he’s a sick little bastard without a conscience, and I hope he gets prosecuted to the full extent of the law.

As I sit here petting my own cat, I can’t help but cry for what these poor cats must have endured. I can not fathom the thought of hurting an innocent creature. It’s heartbreaking when an animal dies of natural causes or accidentally dies (example: like running out in front of a car and getting hit, etc.), but when an animal is tortured to death it is just gut wrenching!
This little sicko is well onto his way to becoming a killer! I guarantee that his defense lawyers will try to say he has a mental disorder of some type to diminish his cupability and guilt. I’m glad that he is 18 years old so that he will be prosecuted as an adult and receive punishment as an adult. I think it’s great that Judge Mindy Glazer increased his bond from $154,000 to $249,500, but his mommy and daddy will post his bail and come to his rescue. I wish that more parents would actually let their kids sit their butts in jail when they commit crimes instead of bailing them out. Maybe if these kids had a taste of jail life it would deter them from committing future crimes. But, that is more or less an argument for kids that you could still see as salvagable kids. This punk is definitely not one of those salvagable kids because this punk ass bitch is a sicko that gets off on killing defenseless cats. What a bastard!
I hope he is prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law and at least serves a prison sentence. This kid does not need to be walking the streets at all! He needs to be put in prison and committed to a mental hospital for the safety of animals and people. I’m not saying that this kid is going to become a murderer of humans, but he is definitely showing some of the known signs and behaviors of a serial killer. Studies with convicted serial killers have shown that torturing and killing animals in their teens is how a lot of them start out. Then they get to a point when they no longer get off on killing animals, so they take it to the next level and start killing humans. This kid is definitely showing the signs and he needs to be stopped before he kills more animals or kills a person. It will not surprise me to see him on this website again one day saying that he has killed an innocent person.
I know that someone will show up and post comments in defense of this POS. They always do. They will tell us that we do not know all the facts, that the media is reporting the story wrong, that the media is twisting the story to make him look bad, that he is a great guy who would never hurt anyone or anything, that he was just having emotional problems because his parents divorced, that he may have possibly been abused as a kid, he’s being set up by the cops, he is being framed, etc….etc….etc….YADA…..YADA…..YADA! To those individuals, I don’t give a shit what his problems may have been or what you think you know or if he was abused – there is no excuse for killing defenseless animals no matter what! Also, don’t even try telling us that this was an accident because there is no way that someone could accidentally kill 19 cats! There is no justifiable reason for someone to kill 19 kids, so don’t even bother wasting your time to try and defend the twisted acts that were committed by this individual. If you defend this piece of crap, then you deserve hell right along with him!
Oohh, you discovered that his parents are divorced! Wow he must have killed all those cat’s! Ooh you discovered he was arrested for Pot possession! Wow he must have killed all those cats! Ooh you discovered that he did not like his stepmom and she had 3 or five cats! Wow, he must have killed all those cats. Ooh, you discovered that he goes around leaving “courious” messages on websites! Wow, he must have killed all those cat’s
Get real. What credible evidence shows this kid did these henious acts? The community was enraged over the killings so the Deputy Dog police grabbed the first person they could find after some of his classmates provided “tips” to get the 10k reward.
Justice and “journalism” has become a pathetic sham in America.
James honey, you really need to work on you reading comprehension skills, because you really missed the point. I didn’t say I discovered he was divorced so he must be guilty, I just recalled something I’d read about children of divorce and the resentments they have for their parents. And in itself, the fact that his stepmother – the one he doesn’t like – is a cat lover, doesn’t mean that much, but it’s another piece of the puzzle. That’s what a circumstantial case is all about. But the biggest reason I think Tyler Weinberg killed all those cats is the police arrested him. They seem pretty confident about their case – for Christ sake, they had him under surveillance for two weeks. Doesn’t it make sense that they saw him do something incriminating? Cops also hinted that they found some good evidence at Weinman’s house.
The thing is, I just tried to make a case for why I thought he probably is guilty – I never said he actually was the guy who did the killings anywhere in the story. I’d be VERY surprise if he wasn’t, but I’m not as confident about it as I would be if I knew he’d been caught in the act.
So go back and reread my story. And while you doing that, please James, use that time to also go and fuck yourself.
Actually, what the reporting shows is that tips voluntarily given to police led to them considering. And then, their their little radars perked up when they questioned him and he made comments about a science class dissection of a cat that they perceived as ‘disturbing’. They had enough evidence to warrant being granted the permission to place a tracking device on the POS’s car, which then unsurprisingly was followed for weeks, and matched locations the dead cats were dumped. When questioned about his travels, the POS lied and claimed he was not where his car-tracking proved he’d been. He’d also joined a site formed by people concerned about the cat-killings, which is not unlike child-murderers offering to ‘help’ find the very children they’ve killed.
Then, they were granted a search warrant and found knives and ‘cutting instruments hidden’ in the POS’s bedroom.
This may all sound ‘circumstantial’, as nobody has video of him actually killing any cats- but it has a bright side. And that is that for once, an animal abuse case is going to be presented based on circumstantial and SCIENTIFIC evidence. Yep. See, prosecution is pretty sure DNA analysis of the knives, cutting instruments, clothing and other items found in the POS’s bedroom and car will show traces of DNA linking those items to specific cats killed. This is good news. If no traces are found, his defense can try to explain all the other evidence away. If DNA is matched, he’ll start working on his plea-bargain. It is about time law started using forensics to prosecute animal cruelty cases.
He sure got bailed out quickly. Parents must have some money.
I found it scary that so many people on the links provided think that this kind of behaviour is a ‘cry for help’. Or that the POS’s parent’s divorce somehow caused him emotional problems, or that he was abused as a child. People really need to stop thinking lamely like that. People who kill cats, other people’s pets, or animals in general for fun and sport just plain enjoy doing so. Same as baby-killers. The only cries for help are coming from their victims.
Being abused as a child does not cause this behaviour. MOST people who were abused as children do not go on to be abusive, cruel and murderous people. And lots of non-abused people do.
I know a little about this, as I was abused as a child. I didn’t like it all that much, which is why I don’t abuse my children or pets, and why I am on sites like this- to see bad people pay for what they do.
Off-topic… people really should call their local animal shelter and ask how many companion animals are killed there every day for lack of homes. In my county it averages 3,000 a month- a hundred a day!
If you love your pets, spay and neuter them, and encourage others to do the same.
Oh, and support tougher animal cruelty laws that actually make animal abusers pay for their cruelty with severe jail-time. Punish them before they can graduate to crimes against people.
c
Oh, and I want to add- there are other suspects in this case. That implies to me that there are other people with first-hand knowlege about these crimes. Given that, I wonder how long it will take those people to roll over on the POS to save their own asses?
And, if it was me, and I’d been arrested and in jail for allegedly torturing and killing people’s pets, I think my mugshot would show a very scared and confused face that reflect my horror of having been accused of such a crime. I don’t think I’d have a shit-eating grin that appears to be saying that I’m amused and I think they can’t pin the crime on me, and anyways my parents will be here to bail me out pronto.
But then again, I doubt my parents would have been so quick to be bailing me out. In fact, if I was the stepmom I’d be too busy re-counting my cats.
c
So sorry- forgot to mention that some of the circumstantial evidence was that when interrogating the suspect he had numerous scratches on his arms consistent with having been holding a cat that was struggling and defending itself.
I know, I know. EVERYBODY has scratches all over their arms, right?
He was probably just digging through berry-bushes looking for a snack. Well, that’s what his attorney will say. What other ways can a person get what appear to be cat scratches all over their arms? How will his dad explain that one?
c
Glorybug:
I dunno, I have a bunch of cat scratches all over my arms, my belly, my back…
Those cute shelter kittens (damn them forever) have sharp little claws and like to cuddle on our shoulders…unfortunately they also climb from floor to back using whatever items are in the way, including human limbs.
Which is to say I haven’t mutilated any cats lately… that I know of lol
Corset: lose the adjectives and ‘crimson oaths’ and simlpy list in numerical order the facts that show this guy did the crime.
James C…..Quit being such a fucking prick and trying to rip this story to shreds. The little shit was under surveillance by the police and evidence was found at his residence to justify his arrest. Therefore, they have a case against the little twit and they can prove he did the crime. By the way, I don’t have to prove a fucking thing about this or list any facts for you. Why don’t you try to prove to us why he didn’t do it if you know so fucking much!!
Corset Lass- spme people, for whatever neurotic reason just can’t seem to EVER think anyone actually commits crimes. Even if this person is convicted, they’ll find reasons not to trust the court or jury.
My guess in this situation, it’s because they secretly really hate cats. I’m guessing even if he was convicted they’d whine unless he was given a pat on the back and a stern warning.
Ignore them. People who don’t like cats, or who don’t have a problem with torturing animals really shouldn’t be given the time of day.
c
Oh, and Admin-
It would be really great if there was some way to measure the times people voted for POSs to go to Hell, and then how many times the crimes were actually proven to have been committed by another person. If memory serves, from the time I’ve been on this site the answer would be ‘none’. Whether we agree with the punishment so scantily meted out is one thing- can all of the judges and juries be so wrong? I recall a few cases of hung jury or dismissal for technicalities, but not any ‘oops, we fingered the wrong person’.
Just curious.
c
Only one thing.
If he were MY son, no fancy defense lawyer, no bond would be posted…
He’d hear it like this from me, “You sick fuck, you’re on your own”. That is if I didn’t kill him first.
If he were my son, I’d ask him if he did it, find out for sure if he had, and then ask him to plead guilty and accept his punishment.
There’s protecting someone, and then there’s protecting them from themselves.
His look seems to suggest that he has some power over cat loving pussies….. like his step mother………
Sounds like he and Cheyenne Cherry ought to get together with their hatred of cats. What a sicko. Next it will be humans. That’s what we get with our system of not having adequate punishment for those who abuse the helpless and those who cannot speak for themselves. This monster will feel no different when he gets his thrill from torturing other living creatures as well. Next will be human beings. Just as long as he is having fun at their misery..that is all that counts.
CT – I couldn’t agree more, it will in fact be humans. This is Jeffrey Dahmer dejavu. It’s “somewhat” of a relief to know that he is going under evaluation, but doesn’t mean that it will help any. This is how it starts though, with helpless, defenseless animals, next it will be a child, elderly or young woman/man.
IMO, “Divorce” is his excuse to do sick things. The smirk on his face tells you he enjoyed and loved every minute of what he did to those poor kitties.
Just disgusted I am….
His mugshot alone should convict him. Only a pychopathic prick gives that cheesie fucking grin after being arrested for something so evil. If he were innocent, he would looked scared….he certainly wouldn’t look like some snot-nosed little PoS.
Pretty damned sure that’s not a mugshot. I’m willing to bet a lot of money that’s a driver’s license pic. I don’t know of any LE jurisdictions that use a blue background for their mugshots (and I’ve worked with many, many). However, most DMVs use the blue.
As a certified Crazy Cat Lady I will vote YES on this one. Normally I don’t vote, but this is getting a vote.
what a little FUCKTARD!!!!! I am speechless and what a little bastard this kid is. Those poor cats. I can’t believe that any person could be so unfeeling and hurt an animal let alone in the manner that this little asshole has. What would be his perfect punishment? Jail time for sure. But he should be made to do community service everyday for the rest of his life at a local shelter. He should be made to clean up after all the animals, especially the cats. Then he should be banned from EVER owning any animal, not so much as a fish, for the rest of his life. EWWWWWWWWWWW, this just pisses me off so bad. I wish I could spend 2 minutes with the little fucktard!
Oh, no, Lori!
An animal shelter is the last place an animal abuser should ever be. Ever. They should never be allowed to have a pet or be near animals again. Would you volunteer to let them care for your pets?
Should we have pedophiles work in daycares?
Wife-beaters volunteer at women’s shelters?
Not even if they got a lot of court-ordered boo-hoo counseling?
NO.
How about we just give them the longest jail terms we can? Problem solved. And when they reoffend, and they will, we just send them back longer.
c
Steve, you couldn’t have put it any better.
thanks! this kind of shit just pisses me off! I don’t like to see harm come to anything or anyone, so i have no compassion for stupid, ignorant fucktards!!!!
I think they are keeping quiet about him turning into a Werewolf at nights and attacking the cats.
i dunno this case just screams Lycanthropy
For the Anti-Semites out there – all one has to do is look at that nose – that this screams something – who needs to look at a last name!
Now to what I really have o say
if this bastard is not neutered, within 10 years we will be reading something along the lines of
Meet THW, well, met him again, remember how he hated cats (see link to 10 year old story), well crying babies also seem to upset him as well… Especially after he has fed and changed them – I mean what else could a baby want besides food and a clean diaper – Love? well not from this father or should we say Sperm Donor……
While some people may poo-poo animal creulty, this is not the “kick the cat” out of the way creulty, this is mutilation, thjis is someone who needs to feel some sort of power and feels that he has attained such when inflicting suffering.
Also the story does not state if any of his step mother’s cats suffered the same fate. If none did, then it proves that he is a real coward, one who’d rather pick on people that do not have any control on his life.
If anyone says that this is NOT hell worthy, then one does not know the road his is on. And sure he can turn his life around, but when one is at the mile marker he is at, I don’t think it’s that likely.
He definitely belongs in a dank corner of a state hospital, but that won’t happen today, he’ll need to kill someone before he’ll be perminately removed from society.
If I were a cruel person, I’d say let’s hook him and Cheyenne Cherry up, let them breed and love their cute little baby…. then smack it’s head into a wall then stick it into an oven to bake to death.
I am not that cruel of a person, and I’d feel sorry for any baby born to these worthless fucktards anyway.
That being said: nineteen mutilated animals is not an accident. It is not a set up. It is not a “MISTAKE”. One mutilated cat? Well I wouldn’t be forgiving about it, but you could stretch things a lot and call it a mistake if the person realized they were fucking nuts and sought help. This person did not seek help. This person is at peace with what they did and would likely continue to do. Not only is this about the horrible painful deaths of these animals… but imagine the pain and suffering their owners are going through? No, these aren’t dead children, but their owners loved them just the same, and lives were taken in a callous way.
This person, like the Cherry whore would move on to people without the intervention of the court. I hope for all our sakes that he is prosecuted to the extent of the law, and that when he does go free, he is fit enough mentally to not afflict human lives with his sick desires for blood, death and pain.
Hell isn’t enough punishment for this a$$hole.
Hang the bastard.
If he really did this… and that smirking grin is a true reflection of his attitude… folks, we have a serial killer of people in the making.
If he were my child, we’d be looking up and visiting each and every victim’s owner we could find. And he would take his punishment accordingly.
Maybe he will be hit by a car when he leaves the courthouse today. We can only hope and pray.
This sick mofo if let free will graduate from cats to people and will make Dr Lecter look like a sweetheart. With God good grace and a good justice system, we hope that this sick f..k will send a life time behind bars and be all the inmates favorite sweetheart.
I know one can’t tell a person’s guilt or innocence from a mug shot, but if he were an innocent guy who has been wrongly accused he would not be smirking for the camera.
I agree, I would not be defending my child if he or she did something so horribly cruel.
I want more information before I make a decision. I would like to know what the surveillance brought up. As always, I don’t like condemning people to hell based on circumstantial evidence.
That said, if he did it, he is a psychopath and needs to be locked up forever. No lie – forever.
I have been watching this case, and he has a LOT of support saying that he didn’t do it. That doesn’t sway me, since psychopaths are good at hiding their demented nature, especially when they are young, but it is interesting how many people have stepped up for him. Not just family and ignorant “loyal friends” either.
Straight to Hell.
Mayber this tyler fellow, is a closet pedophile who was practising what he was planning to do to a child….just maybe.
I said on another thread that I’m more logical than emotional. But when I read these stories about animal abuse, I really have to fight harder to control the emotion. As an animal lover, I’ll never understand how people can hurt them the way they do. Animals to me are the truly innocent. Whereas humans have the potential to grow up to be evil, animals don’t.
I read this story before it was posted here. I don’t think it is likely that the cops have the wrong guy as they didn’t immediately arrest him. They watched him for weeks, investigated him, questioned him, and searched his home. It shows a pattern that they were acting on suspicions and gathering more information and then finally arrested him when they had what they needed.
I just wish animal cruelty had stricter consequences.
Well, take a good look, folks. Remember the face and the name because a few years from now, when he’s done with whatever lame-ass “sentence” and probation time he gets for this, he’ll be moving on to bigger and better things. More drugs, more animal torture then maybe some armed robbery, assault and rape to mix it up a little before he decides to go all the way and graduate to full-on murder in the first.
Perhaps the people (and cats) of the world will luck out and he’ll be shot by a crack dealer or a gun-owning homeowner during that robbery attempt.
If the police case is good and they get this guy locked away for any length of time, someone is going to think he’s a pretty young thing and he’ll wind up spending the rest of his days medicating the resulting damage to his hindquarters. That will no doubt make him exceedingly angry and nuts but that will also make him very… ah… hesitant to go back ever again. You know?
If he did it and is incarcerated, won’t he be a bit of a man without a country? With that last name, I doubt that the Muslim’s will have anything to do with him (especially when you consider the nature of his crime), for sure the Aryan Nation types won’t want him and everyone else is pretty much segregated by skin color, aren’t they?!
Just proves there’s more than one way to skin a cat!
The kid’s innocent until proven guilty. This Web site is irresponsible, and this unruly mob of crazed cat-lovers is, too.
yep, irresponsible is our middle name
-editor
And your post proves there’s more than one way to be an asshole. I hear your boy is home on house arrest, why don’t you head over there and let him skin your genitals. Maybe it will teach you something about empathy for other living creatures. At the least, I know Tyler will enjoy the experience.
eh, blow me, spistol. your psycho boy is going to prison and I hope a fellow inmate tackles him and takes a knife to the aft side of his yam sack.
They need to have him examined by a few good psychiatrists, not a psychologist. I once knew a paranoid schitzophrenic who routinely BS’d his way past his psychologists but the psychiatrists to a man (or woman) knew better than to buy what he was selling. If someone as mentally disorganized as he was could do that, imagine what a psychopath could do (they are rational and don’t qualify for the insanity plea).
Why is he on house arrest? He should be in general pop getting used by a couple large burly men for what he was made for.
From what I understand the case is entirely circumstantial – at least what has been released. He had scratches on his body that could be consistent with cat scratches, and he apparently dissected a cat in an anatomy class in school. Based on that, LE got a warrant and slapped a GPS on his car. He then lied to police about where and when he was at places, not knowing that they were tracking him.
I can see why the authorities would suspect him, and why the weight is heavy on him, but I can still think of a whole lot of ways that he could be innocent.
I want to know if there were any cat murders at times that the GPS showed him in the area. I want there to be more than this. There may be, but his lawyer says that he is unaware of it. There are far too many examples of coincidences indicating someone is guilty, when they are not.
I hope that if this guy is guilty, they have some strong evidence, because this kid has a lot of supporters who will be willing to make sure he gets a slick, expensive lawyer. And any slick, expensive lawyer worth his salt can get his client off on a circumstantial case. Though honestly, if it is all circumstantial, he will almost certainly have lawyers knocking at his door offering free or reduced rate services, because the exposure will be worth it’s weight in gold.
I’m a cat lover, we’re down to 3 of them right now (and 1 dog, but who cares, right), but I’m holding out right now, even though I trust the police got the right guy. I have no doubt in their abilities, but there have been occasions when the police have made some slight errors. I’m also assuming that the prosecuter feels strongly enough about the evidence that he’s moving forward, but if he is an elected official, he may be somewhat swayed by public opinion. He must have made some pretty compelling arguments to get bail set that high and considering the circumstances, bail seems fair.
If he did kill the kitties, I hope they hang him high.
I did read quite a few postings on anti-Semitic websites concerning this case. None of them give a rats-ass about the cats or the families of the cats-all they see is another ‘dirty’ jew. My mind IS made up on the motherfucking Nazis – they can go to hell.

I appreciate the gesture judge dredd, but i can’t allow the personal info of innocent parties to be posted on the site, even for this little weasel. thanks anyways though.

This is becoming way to frequent. I find it scary that this kid also helped set up the facebook page to catch the cat killer. that is way to close to wayne williams (atlanta child murderer) for my liking. Crazy people like to put themselves in the middle of the action, just so they can feel proud of their crimes. there isn’t much info on this kid and his friends are saying hes innocent, but i just don’t believe it. the cops would not take some kid out of a graduation party on a hunch. the cops have more than they are releasing to the media, which is quite normal this early on. i hate people who hate cats, so can i kill em too?
As I assume most of you guys know, the three classic symptoms of a future serial killer are bed-wetting, fire-starting and cruelty to animals. By themselves – especially bed-wetting – they are not incredibly indicative. But they are warning signs. This kid seems screwed-up enough to warrant an intense check-up, for the sake of his potential future victims.
Or they could just put him and Michael Vick in a ring to settle their differences on which pets deserved to be tortured, and leave the innocent animals out of it altogether.
This kid and Chyenne Cherry need to be locked up together. Give ‘em kibble to eat and a litter box to pee and poo in.
But both need to be spayed or neutered before that happens.
If convicted of all charges, this kid could be gone for 150+ years. It’s the burglary charges that carry the most weight—not the cat killing.
If one of my cats had been his victim, you can bet I’d be slapping a big fat lawsuit on him and his mom—after all, he was living under her room and no doubt she supported him financially.
There is a special place in hell for people like this. It’s in the same hell ‘hood with guys like Richard Allen Davis (unfortunately not dead yet …) and Jeffrey Dahmer.
as a pot smoker i do take a bit of offense to the statement regarding this POS’ habiit, but i suppose i’ll have to accept that outside the Netherlands pot isn’t considered something normal ;)
now, to put on my cap as an avid cat lover, owner of two cats (Donna the European short hair pussycat and Monster the Maine Coon/Sphynx cross).
i let them out to play quite a lot and every time they stay out longer then expected, i worry (i worry a lot). if anything where to happen to them i don’t know what i’d do and if something like this happened, the person responsible would have to fear for his/her life.
THIS IS MESSED UP. I’M NOT GONNA LIE. I LOVE CATS, I HAVE TWO OF MY OWN. AND I FEEL AWFUL FOR THOSE CATS. BUT FOR GOD’S SAKE, I’M VEGAN. AND I’M SURE ALL OF YOU EAT MEAT ON HERE THAT LEFT A COMMENT. HOW DO YOU THINK THEY FEEL. THOSE THINGS HAPPEN TO THEM ALL THE TIME. SO WHAT IF THEIR NOT DOMESTICATED AS YOUR BEST FRIEND THAT SITS ON YOUR LAP. THEY ARE LIVING BREATHING THINGS TOO. I JUST WANTED TO PUT THAT OUT THERE…
Oh, Oh, I’m channeling Eric Cartman here, “You…You…You Damn Hippie! Get out of here! RESPECT MY AUTHORITAY!!! Damn Hippies!” Wow, I knew I had an alter ego, but I didn’t know it was Cartman… I almost feel proud. The only part I suppress is the anti-semite part. >:) Everyone else is fair game
Wow … and all in caps … you must REALLY mean it.
I am pretty sure that, within the bounds of what is possible, the animals that I eat aren’t tortured before they are killed for my culinary pleasure.
I have a real soft spot for the holier than thou vegos/vegans …. you have to supplement right? Make up for all that iron and protien you don’t get .. you know why … BECAUSE HUMANS ARE SUPPOSED TO EAT MEAT!!!!!
And if you were typing this while sitting there wearing your leather shoes … SHAME ON YOU!!!!!
That having been said … this particular POS can rot … 19 cats … he is a soulless, conscienceless killer.
Eat Meat! Man can not live by bread alone! Vegan, the other other other red meat…. >:)
What do you feed your cats, Ms. Vegan? I bet you feed them FLESH of a formerly living, breathing creature who was SLAUGHTERED as food, don’t you? Did you ever consider how the mother of the poor beast felt about their baby being killed so YOUR cats can eat?
Call PETA, you hypocrite. They may have a minute or two, if they are not too busy trashing Obama for killing a fucking fly.
Isn’t that fly BS ridiculous? PETA drives me up the F’ing wall.. They’ll throw blood on you for eating a hamburger, but one of their higher ups is a diabetic who uses insulin.. which at one point was derived from cows.. I think one form of insulin still is.. And you better believe that Ms. Ingrid Newkirk took advantage of all of the wonders of modern medical technology when she broke her ankle a while back.. medical technology developed through the use of animal testing.. Ho hum..
I should have added though.. all that being said, I do believe that we as human beings have a responsibility to treat animals as respectfully and humanely as possible – from house pets, to beef cattle.. Life can be very ugly when you’re an animal (and it’s very ugly for some humans as well), but we can keep that ugliness and suffering to a minimum.. We don’t need to stop eating meat, we need to come up with a better way of doing things.. and never stop trying..
Of course, Min. I believe that many humans are arrogant about our superiority, and while our mental function may be, spiritually I don’t believe we are. In fact (as many of our featured stories prove) spiritually many humans are below pond scum.
I personally can’t stand to even go to a zoo, because I think it is wrong to cage animals.
But, as far as food goes, we are designed as omnivores. We require the full proteins of flesh, and our teeth are made to eat meat and plants. That tells me that killing animals for food is not possibly “wrong”. However killing animals simply for the sake of hurting them is wrong. Watching or causing someone to suffer is wrong, and again the proof is biological.
What happens to us when we watch or read about someone or something suffering? Unless we are completely desensitized (ie: have trained ourselves out of our biology) we feel physical discomfort. Our stomachs sink, our brain flips to the amygdala processing and we start to sweat or get nauseous.
I wonder if that reaction isn’t almost like a drug to the sociopaths who cause others to suffer. Seriously – think about it. If you have ever taken drugs, doesn’t that almost sound like the effects of some recreational drugs?
Regardless, I don’t even LIKE Obama, and I think that his swatting of a fly was perfectly appropriate. (His macho posturing afterwards was a bit weird though, lol). Now, If he had caught the fly and pulled it’s wings off, I would have some serious issues with that…
This kid didn’t take an air hammer to the base of the cat’s skull killing the cat before proceeding to skin it and mutilate it. He (may have) did it while they were alive and trying to fight back. He (may have) abused the domesticated trust they had for humans and used it against them.
I’m speaking for all cats in the world- this human should be tortured to DEATH!!!!
Hey, let’s stop for a minute. Yes, it’s sad what’s happened to these poor animals. But THIS KID IS INNOCENT UNTIL PROVEN GUILTY. I know this phrase is used so often as conjecture in media-trials and lawyer-ese that it seems cliche, but let’s not forget the true importance of that statement. I’m sick and tired of seeing the media jump on a story, throw out salted-statements about suspects with the intent of sensationalizing the hell out of a story for ratings and all the sheep out there just eat it up. LET’S NOT FORGET THE DUKE LACROSS CASE! How about we let LE do their jobs, the DA get this case to trial, and if a jury decides this kid is a cat-killer, then you can say what you want. Until then, here’s an idea: take everything you read in the media, flush half of it down the toilet, scrutinize the hell out of the other half, and by God don’t forget–this kid may or may not be guilty. Hell, he may be guilty of only two kitty murders, and the rest are due to others. Regardless, he deserves his day in court, and he’ll get it. But he’s also a young man, barely an adult, and doesn’t deserve to have his face plastered all over the ‘net with people demanding his execution. At least, not until he’s convicted {{that last part WAS tongue-in-cheek, actually}}.
BTW, Nice job Wrath. More balanced a story than most. You’re right on about this kid’s life being ruined (or, at least, severely stained) if he IS guilty. I also question why the hell LE needed to pull him out of his PROM to talk to him. C’mon. That’s just a lot of show, isn’t it? You know when a bunch of cops show up at a prom and pull a kid out of it that it’s going to get on the news. Unless they have a DAMNED good reason (of which, I cannot currently imagine), that’s just unprofessional–and I am concerned about the cogs behind this case, if LE and the DA’s office are already handing out so much info and grandstanding like that. I’m sure there’s a lot of pressure on them to solve this case. It’d be a shame if they are doing so unethically.
Um…make that “If he ISN’T guilty”. Need to proof-read on here.
I bet he had a girlfriend who “still loves him”…..Pathetic pos.
Hate to say this, but many serial killers also have mutilated and/or tortured animals.
Also, he should be presumed innocent until proven guilty. And if convicted and then jailed, I think his actions should then be closely monitored.
The danger isn’t now. It’s five or 10 years from now when he falls “off the map” and people start disappearing.
They tend not to put the innocent behind bars…so where do individuals go once they have been charged with a crime?..JAIL.
In this country, you are never innocent until proven guilty. You must always prove your innocence. Just the way our justice system works. Which is why any DA will not go to court with a case that won’t hold up in court.
Seriously – What’s with the Nancy Grace style faux-journalism going on here?
People you’ll see in hell? Don’t you think we should wait for a conviction on this one? He was under police surveillance yet the police themselves admit that they have no direct evidence linking him to any of the cats that were killed?
That leads me to another point. WTF is with people who think their cats are free to roam freely in and out of other peoples’ yards? When I was much younger, a cat killed our family’s pet bird right outside my window and since then I have no qualms in sic’ing my dogs on ANY cats who are stupid enough to wander into my backyard. They haven’t caught one yet, but I’m not going to be responsible in the eyes of the law if they ever do. I certainly don’t let my dogs wander the neighborhood freely. Why are cats allowed the double standard?
Finally, yeah – people who exhibit this kind of behavior often become serial killers (or at least it’s one of the traits many serial killers possess), but that doesn’t mean always. The cat killer in this case may have a very intense hatred of cats and some mental problems leading him to kill them. This may or may not progress toward killing other people – but when they find the responsible party the law should provide for the ability to monitor such individuals for a long period of time.
What’s your angle? Are you related to the boy or a friend?
No, I’m not related or a friend. In fact, did you read my post? I have two issues with this story:
1) The way it’s being handled, all Nancy Grace style where he’s convicted by the media and a bunch of ass-clowns like the people who run this site before he ever goes to trial.
2) The way cats are ‘allowed’ to travel through anyone’s yard or backyard they so please. I told a story about how a neighbor’s cat killed my family’s parakeets when I was young and we had essentially no recourse. Hence, if I find cats in my yard I treat them the way people would probably treat my dog in their backyards: I either let my dogs do as they wish (nothing’s happened yet) or I trap the little bastard and take it to the animal shelter and register a complaint against its owner if the information is available. To all you cat lovers who have a problem with this: bite me and keep your friggin’ kitty cats on a damn leash or in the house.
0. I read your post, I didn’t get your angle
1. there’s more info on this case released today.
The 10-page affidavit notes that Miami-Dade County detectives used an electronic device to track 18-year-old Tyler Hayes Weinman’s car and traced his cell phone before charging him with the macabre crimes. The tracking device showed the car had stopped near places where at least two dead cats were later found.

This site isn’t for you apparently, go somewhere else.
2. My cats stay inside and are only taken outside on chaperoned visits. If you send your dogs after cats or other domesticated animals you’re breaking down the barriers they have to attacking humans, or if they were to ever get free, to attacking other domesticated animals off your property. (Actions that would rightfully have them terminated).
I love and respect animals for the place they fit in our world. Some of them are food, some of them are companions and many fall within realms defined specifically for them. You don’t like cats, I get that. You don’t like Nancy Grace, I get that too. You don’t like this site, I get that.
Why are you here?
I don’t get that.
Have you read the arrest affidavit the police released today KC? Weinman was so excited while he was telling the cops how he “thought” the killing were committed he nearly pissed himself himself. I wasn’t sure before I read this thing, but I’m convinced he’s guilty now. I just posted an update with all the new information – check it out,
Oh, and about the Nancy Grace faux journalism comment, just remember that this faux journalist made the call that Weinman was a sociopath 3 weeks before the cops did. I spent a lot of hours finding out everything I could about this smarmy little shit, so I had a pretty good idea of what I was talking about when I wrote the article, and my conclusions turned out to be damned accurate. Guys like you criticize us for jumping to conclusions, but maybe it’s you that should have waited for all the facts to come in before you opened your big mouth.
Aislinn,
If I lived in your neighborhood and knew YOUR cat was wandering into my backyard after reading what you just wrote, I might be tempted to torture IT to death, but I would probably just take it to the animal shelter….THREE COUNTIES OVER!
Does anyone know his address?
If he did these heinous crimes, inject him with Sodium Pentothal and make the planet a better place.
This is why my cats live indoors. Poor babies.
you are so wrong, Tyler Loves Cats!
he is being rail roaded.
of the 33 cat deaths, so far 14 have been positively linked to 2 wild pit bulls caught the same day Tyler was arrested. They just need to test the other 19 cats too.
there is no physical evidence linking Tyler or ANY human to ANY of the cat deaths. the police were even watching Tyler for a month and they never caught him harming one cat. check out http://www.tylerlovescats.com. he really does and he is innocent.
Yep, he loves them cut open; he loves them in pain; He loves all sorts of ways–unfortunately for the innocent cats. Pretty typical of a psychopath. And who the hell smirks when they get arrested. If they are innocent, they usually look scared as hell, not bemused!
i havent read the other posts yet, but while it was fresh in my mind, i was just wondering HOW THE FUCK DID THIS GUY LURE ALL THOSE CATS?! typically, cats dont allow themselves to just be picked up.
So because of killing some cats, you wish him hell? That’s not nice from you. For that question, I voted “NO!”
You think how good you are? You are same as he is, if not worse, because you also want him to suffer, to feel pain. Stop playing good guy or girl here okay?
Greetings from Slovakia.
SO HE WANT’S 2 SURGICLY MUTILATE CATS.. WELL HOW ABOUT THIS.. I PERSONALLY HAVE A THING 4 KNIVES & RAZORS SO BRING HIM OVER 2 MY PLACE SO I CAN SURGICLY REMOVE HIS BRAIN =0]
If he did, mutilate him. Start by slicing that smug smirk off of his face.
On a side note, a sick part of me wants to see the video mentioned in this article just so I can be more clear about the horrors he committed……..but the cat lover in me is saying, “No DON’T!!!!”
I remember seeing photos on snopes.com of a crush video. A “Crush Video” for those who don’t know is a sexual fetish video where beautiful women stomp on and kill small animals. The photos I saw showed an Asian model stomping on a kitten and it was SICK! I’m still occasionally haunted by those images.
So basically, Crush Videos are snuff films for animals and just horrendous to think about. Any animal abuse is horrendous to think about and any perpetrators should be dealt with harshly.
There should be equal outrage at all the wild animals killed for pleasure, with their deaths posted on YouTube in slow-motion replays by cretinous white trash “hunters.” The idea that domestic animals are the only ones worthy of lamenting is almost as twisted as these cat mutilations.
I take offense at that. I kill wild animals both for pleasure and consumption. Venison is DELICIOUS! The celebration of the kill goes back a long way, starting with our ancestors having a massive feast when the hunters harvested meat for the village/tribe/whatever. It’s only in our nature to be proud of a good clean kill. Savagely killing domestic cats/dogs/whatever kind of pet you have causes outrage because we share our homes and live with these animals.
Yeah Jimmy, I’m afraid you’re not going to get a lot of support for an extreme position like that. Most people believe that responsible hunters have every right to do their thing.
Yea the slomo deaths are gross, but I’m going to have to disagree with you on the count that cats probably aren’t NEARLY as tasty a delicious wild deer.
Some people here might find this interesting,
MIAMI (WSVN) — Prosecutors said the case against accused cat killer Tyler Weinman will go forward although hair collected does not match cat hair of the mutilated cats.
According to sources, test results have come back negative on hairs found in 18-year-old Weinman’s room, clothing and backpack to determine if they match those of the deceased cats.
-posted by my local news website. ch 7 WSVN.
oops, full article here: http://www.wsvn.com/news/articles/local/MI88567/
I love my cats, but I think some common sense is required here.
First, I read an article that says that Tyler’s DNA has not been found on any of the cats.
http://blogs.miaminewtimes.com/riptide/2010/02/cat_killer_suspect_tyler_weinm.php
I have also read that there were a pack of two wild pit pulls that were in the area which were definitely caught in the act and apparently responsible for at least 14 cat deaths. There was a report on them on August 2009.
I wonder if the police were too quick to act. I do want justice to bes erved and of course if Tyler is guilty I want him to go to prison, but I wonder if in their haste to convict someone if they have put an innocent man under house arrest while awaiting trial. The putting of Tyler into house arrest coincided with the apprehension of the pit bulls, so this makes sense why the cat killings stopped.
Here is the article about the pit bulls:

Other cities across the country have had the same thing:

AURORA, Colo. — Colorado authorities joined their colleagues in Utah on Friday in blaming cat killings
– 45 in Denver in the past year — on wildlife predation. That ended weeks of suspicion that psychopaths might be killing the pets.
“All of the deaths were caused by predators,” Police Chief Ricky Bennett said in suburban Aurora, where 29 cases were reported.
Animal control officers had said some of the cats were sliced with surgical precision, but that was before police took over the investigation and consulted wildlife experts who looked at the bodies
under a microscope. No one from the Aurora Animal Care Division was in the office for comment Friday.
The killings and similar attacks on cats in Salt Lake City attracted widespread attention and led to speculation that people were to blame.
Urban Wildlife Rescue director Jack Murphy, who helped in the case, said 45 was not an unusual number of cat deaths in a year.
Bennett said reports that 11 cats had been mutilated in Salt Lake City since May 2002 probably fueled fears of human culprits in Denver.
——————-
Prior to the accusations/charges against Tyler Weinman, Miami-Dade Mayor’s site included the FACT that 50-60 pet deaths take place in Soth Miami-Dade every month, attributable to “dogs, or cars”.
——————-
FaceBook group, “Tyler Weinman Did Not Kill 19 Cats” has pulled together so much information on these incidents, which have occurred around the nation of the years: ALWAYS believed to be a “psycho cat killer” until the detailed testing was done.
——————
WHY has the press abetted the state in these accusations against an innocent young man?
I meant to say as the last comment, “against a possibly innocent young man?”
The truth is, none of us know whether he is guilty or innocent. We don’t know what the evidence is against him. We haven’t heard the evidence presented.
It is emotional having animals killed, for all of us, and for me especially cats, as I love them the best. But I am trying to keep a clear head and not let someone else make up my mind for me.
If this young man is found guilty, and if this young man goes to jail, I pray that on “shower day” the guards just turn their heads as Bubba and his 7 friends drag this fish into a corner and have some jail house pay-back for young Mr. Tyler Hayes Weinman.
I am not a “cat lover”…but this friggin wacko needs to be put to justice. How can anyone justify brutally torturing & killing defensless animals. They should go the “eye for an eye” route…he killed cats…what say the authorities take this punk and drop him in with some hungry Lions at the zoo…on second thought, that would be too quick…how about instead…throw him in with 5-6 or so cougars (not the human kind :-) ) that have been starved for a couple weeks (they are smaller & will inflict more misery on this idiot).
sorry but “Tyler Hayes Weinman” is not innocent.
It took a website a matter of a couple hours to track this guy down, i belong to that website. He was arrested the next morning.
To someone like “cat lover”, about the tenacity of the evidence.. Basically this idiot took pictures of him doing the attacks/killing of the cats, and he posted it on the website i belong to. If you noticed the earlier reports were about how they “suspected an accomplice” That is because in those photos he was with a friend , both wearing masks.
The people of the website i belong to, in a matter of minutes could piece together the details from this kid’s pictures he was posting, the exif data from the jpegs, and the types of photos he was hosting, also details in the background such as school yearbook/jersey.
He was clearly guilty, what the cops are doing is basically building a case with the evidence in hand.
Because he has rich parents, and is a spoiled piece of shit, he has a lawyer who is trying to postpone and drag out the case as much as they can. The longer they postpone the case, the less of a sentence he will receive. This is how the system works.
I dont have the pictures online, i’m sure if you did a simple google image search for serial cat killer or this kid’s name, you’d find the images i was talking about. Its common sense to not to take pictures of yourself doing a crime, then post it on the internet.
Anon, link please or it didn’t happen. I want to believe that Weinman did this (and I do) as bad as you apparently do, but I have yet to read any articles or anything about Weinman supposedly posting photos of him and his friend killing the cats anywhere. And I have seen/been to some of the “gore sites”…none of them IDed some of the pics I saw as being Weinman.
I think he did it. Just by going on his teasing comments to the cops, he had to’ve done it. Dead dissection cat specimens’ skin doesn’t “rip” or “making a tearing sound” like Weinman so enthusiastically told the cops.
