Episode Synopsis

A $20,000 reward is offered for information leading to the arrest of a man who decapitated a dead sea lion on a Monterey County beach in late July. Described as a white male in his fifties or sixties with a balding head and beard, he was seen removing the head with a hunting knife and fleeing in a white Cadillac Escalade. Authorities are seeking tips to solve the disturbing case, which raises questions about the delay in publicizing the incident and whether the sea lion was already deceased. The act violates the Marine Mammal Protection Act, and officials urge anyone with information to contact the NOAA tip line. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
