''TELLER COUNTY, Colo. (KRDO) - The Teller County Sheriff’s Office (TCSO) is investigating a brutal assault that occurred on August 7, 2024, where an adult female victim and her dog suffered life-threatening injuries.
The TCSO says that the victim in this incident was identified as Briena Louise Karlik who is currently in critical condition in a local area hospital. Ida, Briena’s dog, also suffered life-threatening injuries and was immediately taken to a local area vet to receive the surgery needed to save her life.''
“On August 7, 2024, my 35-year-old daughter, Briena, was viciously attacked by another human being in Cripple Creek, Colorado. She was left to die, unable to breathe and with a significant head injury. The attacker remains at large. Brie’s dog, Ida, was also viciously attacked while trying to protect Brie and is recovering well after having her eye removed and skull fracture stabilized. Brie’s condition is tenuous and if she survives, has many challenges ahead of her. At the moment, she is stable but in need of multiple surgeries and procedures to regain the health of her lungs, brain and broken bones. ''
