Unfortunately I can not read it - as I have add blocker on - and I don't want to subscribe to it. But thanks for posting it.
Nothing current though....

It's as depressing a tale, if not more, as you could imagine.

Yolo County has done a good job of keeping this nightmare under wraps, but I can't imagine this not getting nationwide media attention at some point, at minimum a TV movie, because this monster is wretched.
