A. S.Waldo·a week agoI’m not sure if this is anything, but I thought I’d share. A few moments ago, I saw a man wearing a black ski mask appearing to exit my driveway. My driveway leads to my back yard gate. My dog was in the backyard and may have scared him away. But, I watched him as he walked down the street, and he appeared to be scoping out other neighbors’ fences and gates. Like I said, maybe nothing. But, it seems like an odd time of year to be wearing a ski mask and also odd to be going into someone’s driveway. I did call the non emergency police line, and they did send a patrol car out to check the neighborhood. This is in the neighborhood of 75th and Holmes in KCMO. Man in black ski mask walking the neighborhood, appearing to check yard gates and fences for entry.

S. P.Waldo·yesterdayWas your dog stolen? Jeanne Beechwood, publisher of the Martin City/South Kansas City Telegraph, is doing an article on Waldo and South Kansas City stolen dogs. There have been a rash of disappearances without sightings. Professional trappers and trackers suggest that the situation points to theft rather than death. A couple such dogs have eventually been recovered. If this is your story, and it is fairly recent, reach out to Jeanne. https://martincitytelegraph.com/contact/11Like3

G. B.Waldo·a week agoI would like to clear a few things up as woman has been slandering my name stating that I stole a Golden Retriever named Elvis. If you have read this about me, please know that I was acting in good faith and was able to provide an evidence and proof to the police. This lady has no idea the true story as she just met the owner yesterday. Back in March, Elvis was running down my street toward wornall, I was so worried he would be hit by a car. I quickly got my dogs leash and started walking home to home looking for his owner and my husband posted it on here and Facebook. We also took him to the vet as we wanted to find his owner and they said he was not microchipped. I walked him door to door asking and a neighbor that was a member of the Waldo Facebook group posted it for me as I had not joined yet. Once it was posted on here, a lady named Anna commented and said “that’s my dog!” My husband walked him to the owner, and Anna. A few days later, we find Elvis again and my husband walks him back again and puts him in the backyard as no one answered. Anna then gets my husbands phone number from Nextdoor and sends him the following texts. (This has all been shared with police) My husband went and knocked on the door, called the owner and texted him with no response. We assumed the worst that he had been dumped based on the texts we received and hadn’t seen him for over a month. Last week, a sweet couple walked him over asking if he was mine. I said he’s not mine but I’m so glad he was okay and would keep him in safe place as we were told the owner planned on dumping him. I sadly could not keep him at my home as I have my own. I brought him to a family members home, where he sadly jumped the fence and is not microchipped, so he is lost again. Poor guy had fleas all over him, 10-15 ticks that we removed, and provided him with flea and tick medicine and bathed him so he could stop itching. He had sores all over his body. I would never ever “steal a dog” and hate that this has transpired this way. I just wanted the dog to be safe and taken care of and neutered. Many people in this neighborhood can verify that he has been loose multiple times, but I have nothing to say about how he was cared for at home other than the texts we received from someone in the home first hand. I would appreciate this lady can stop doxxing us and blasting misinformation all over the place and harassing us. I shared all of the information with the police and am very shocked they gave this lady her address who has no affiliation with this situation other than a neighbor that is not involved. She is saying I was placed in handcuffs, which is absolutely not true. After reviewing the evidence, the officers said it was clear I was acting in good faith and would be reviewed by a detective with my evidence. This is slander at this point and police have been sent the screenshots of her misleading information she has posted. This dog was never “taken” from the home. He was running the streets and was taken to a safe place. I will not entertain this woman or her lies and will not be arguing about this as this is none of her business.
