Dead Animals Found In Accused Animal Hoarder’s Pool Neighbors Contact 23 ABC After Animals Found In Back Yard Pool (April 2012) In Tehachapi, there was a gruesome discovery in the pool of a home, but it’s not just any home. It’s the property that accused animal hoarder Kimi Peck used to live on. Neighbors contacted 23 ABC after they found several dead animals floating in what appears to be bacteria-ridden water. It was a sight and a smell no one can prepare for — several dead animals at the bottom of a pool. At first glance, 23 ABC thought the animals were deer. When we took a closer look, the animals appeared to be dogs that were floating in something that used to be water. Mold and bacteria cover the surface of what was a pool at one time. Peck was evicted from two different homes in the Tehachapi area for having hundreds of dogs. She left the home on Water Canyon Road in 2009. Several neighbors said it still looks like it did the day she left. The Kern County Assessor’s Office confirmed to 23 ABC that Peck still owns the home, which is why neighbors declined to go on camera. They believe Peck will be back, and said they fear what she’s capable of. Neighbors said the pool on Peck’s property has been an issue for years. At first, they were concerned about West Nile virus. With the discovery of the animals, they say they’re now concerned it’s a breeding ground for far worse. Residential pools fall under the jurisdiction of Kern County Code Compliance. The agency was not available for an interview Monday, but officials told 23 ABC, someone filed a complaint about the pool, so a case was opened on Friday. Officials also said they will be trying to contact Peck and will be working with other agencies, like animal control, while dealing with the matter. This is a situation 23 ABC will continue to watch as the investigation continues. Twitter Facebook YouTube Community Calendar BakersfieldLaw.tv
