Kapone's Case Goes Cold

Senatobia, Ms - Weeks after hearing the happy ending of Kapone, the pit-bull being reunited with his Cordova family, we're no closer to knowing where he was all those months or how he ended up at a home on Peach Tree Drive in Senatobia, Mississippi.

"Everything just kind of went South."

Steve Holts, the Police Chief in Senatobia says the man living in the home where Kapone was found stood them up. The man never came to the police station to give a statement and now police can't find him.

"He didn't want to talk to us."

The man is long gone. Officers have checked and the house is vacant and up for rent. According to neighbors, he packed a U-Haul and moved out the day after Christmas.

"We don't have anything on his background. We don't have any clue where he's moved to," Holts said.

Kapone was found in the backyard of the man's home December 20th. There was an $8,000 reward for information on Kapone after he went missing last summer. He got loose from his family's yard and was picked up by Memphis Animal Control Officer, Demetria Hogan who was the last to see him. Hogan's been charged with animal cruelty as Memphis Police and Senatobia Police try to piece together the details of Kapone's disappearance.

"Right now we can't get a warrant because we don't what part or if he played a part in this."

So without the man who initially told police by phone before he ran that Kapone just wandered up one day, Chief Holts says the case has stalled.
