Ohio Woman Confessed To Killing 650 Animals

COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Police in Columbus, Ohio, are getting calls from all over the country about a woman who is being described as a serial animal killer.

Investigators said Maureen McLaughlin admitted to killing 650 animals because she had lost faith in the animal adoption system.

In a written confession, McLaughlin said that during the past five years, she killed 650 animals from Central Ohio that were given to her.

She was charged on Wednesday with one count of animal cruelty.

McLaughlin said she would put the animal in a crate. Using a huge trash barrel completely filled with water, she would lower the crate into the water and hold it under until the animal drowned, NBC affiliate WCMH reported.

People have called police and said they gave McLaughlin animals because they thought she was going to find a good place for them.

"There was no need for them to be killed. I mean, it's just really sad," said Angela Bennington, who said she gave an animal to McLaughlin.
