Strange and bizarre news stories are fun to read. People are intrigued by world events that are shrouded in mystery. In many cases, the strange occurrences give the reader a conflict between what is presumed normal in society, and the facts of the case. In August of 2010, Buffalo police made a routine traffic stop on a 51-year-old man named Gary Korkuc in the state of New York. Upon arriving at his car, the officers heard a distraught cat meowing in the trunk. After investigation, they found Navarro, a four-year-old cat "marinating" in oil, crushed red peppers and chili peppers. Police say Korkuc told them he was going to cook the animal. He was arrested on animal cruelty charges.
