Serial Killer Inbound

Although there are many factors involved, the top three signs that a child may grow up to be a serial killer are as follows:

• bed wetting
• fascination with fire
• harming animals

There might be one growing up on the north side:

• A furious Jacob Pabello spent last Thursday afternoon scraping blood and the innards of two of his beloved pets from off his windshield near his Portage Park home.

  The birds — a chicken named Peep and a duck named Henry — were both killed around 3:50 p.m. May 22 in Pabello’s backyard in the 5200 block of West Newport Avenue, Pabello and Chicago police said.

  Pabello was asleep at the time when he was woken up by banging at his side door.

  “I look in the backyard and all I see is my duck and my chicken, just dead and laid out,” Pabello, 22, told the Sun-Times.

  Pabello rushed outside where his neighbors told him that the innards of the pets had been smeared on his windshield.

Curiously, there is actual footage of the killings from neighbors surveillance cameras, but no actual description in the Slum Times coverage. You'd think that the media would want to keep the people informed as to a budding murderer in the public realm....that's kind of their job, right?

Fortunately, someone sent us a still shot from the surveillance video:

 Hmmmmmm.
