Briena Karlik and her dog Ida
''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. ''

I’ll be interested to know whether she was attacked with a knife. This is certainly worth following. And, it would be about the right lapse of time from KJ’s attack. Prayers for this young woman.

Who is KJ?

I hope this person is caught quickly!

Interesting. I wonder if she works in the casinos there? Cripple Creek is a scary place, lots of people come there to gamble, from Kansas, Denver, Colorado Spring...I have been there, and actually thought that there were a lot of rough people there. Way worse than Elko or even Wendover.

Who is KJ?

Katie Janness. She and her dog were brutally killed in Piedmont Park in Atlanta three years ago. There’s a thread you can follow if interested.

I don’t think so. She was working at a motel just outside if Cripple Creek.

Sweet, brave, good Ida <3
I believe this good pup's efforts to protect her human companion prevented the killer from succeeding. I hope Briena recovers as soon as possible and Ida can be reunited with her.
Does anyone know if they have any cameras around Cripple Creek?

 

[ChatteringBirds]

What a terrible crime. May the person(s) responsible be arrested and Briena and her dog fully heal.

Interesting case thanks for posting this Dotr.

Following. I'm glad the dog is recovering well considering the circumstances and I hope Briena recovers too!

Wonder if anyone has visited a local ER with dog bites. Was this person camping or did she live in her camper?

Interesting that Cripple Creek has it's own Police Department, but TCSO is investigating this case? Found this article which may help explain - Teller County Sheriff's Office to help Cripple Creek with 911 dispatch services | KRDO

TCSO has a crime log, but Briena's assault is not listed. It sort of sounds like people may have heard something and called 911?

Briena has 7 Facebook Pages, many have photo's of Ida.
