Henry County, MO: Third cattle death with exposed heart
Ten days after the second incident, Mitchell found a third cow with its heart exposed and teats removed. All three animals had their tongues surgically removed. Mitchell began considering extraterrestrial explanations for the mysterious killings.
Background
On July 19, 2013, just ten days after the previous discovery, Lyn Mitchell found the third mutilated cow. This animal had its heart exposed and teats cut off, continuing the pattern of precise surgical removal of specific organs. The tongue was also missing, consistent with the two previous incidents.
Investigations by the sheriff's department and veterinarians continued to yield no reasonable explanations. The cuts maintained their surgical precision, and the complete lack of blood persisted as a defining characteristic. Mitchell stated she was normally a private person but felt compelled to speak out due to the disturbing nature of the events.
With conventional causes ruled out, Mitchell openly considered the possibility that extraterrestrial life might be responsible. She planned to install cameras to capture evidence of the perpetrator. The case drew parallels to historical cattle mutilation phenomena investigated by the FBI in the 1970s. Via TheBlackVault.com (Archival).
