Seeking Witness Help: Confirm Goat Found Dead at Jewel-Osco Parking Lot, Rand and Palatine Rd Arlington Heights | The Cardinal
Just before Thanksgiving, witnesses reported seeing a dead goat in the parking lot at Jewel-Osco, 440 East Rand Road in Arlington Heights.
The Cardinal received a tip that a goat was found with the animal’s throat slit in the parking lot near the aisle by the exit of the store and about half way to Rand Road from the exit door. The date of the discovery was reported to have been the Saturday before Thanksgiving, November 19, 2016 about 8:00 p.m. According to the witness, a customer discovered the goat, and reported the finding to a store manager. The witness reported believing the police were called, but the Arlington Heights Police Department could not immediately confirm awareness of the report.
A second witness, who saw a video of the dead goat, recalled that the goat was discovered on Wednesday, November 23, 2016 — the day before Thanksgiving. The second witness was not aware that the throat was slit, but reported the goat was flattened like road kill.
A store manager contacted at Jewel-Osco at 440 East Rand Road denied having any awareness of a dead goat at the premise in the past 15 days.
