of the cat another it was decided that the Humane Society would hold the deceased animal as evidence meanwhile the officer learned more about Alexis Farrell's children the ones she had claimed to have killed however it soon became clear that this was not the case frell's children were safe and living with a family member her mental state though was clearly in question amid the confusion officers confirmed that Ferell no longer had custody of her children and her previous statements about harming them were false during any questioning you have right to stop answering any questions once they begin do you understand your rights do you understand smile for me smile your teeth go like this did you eat that cat did you eat it no why'd you kill it I don't know get in there it's ridiculous here
