Police say man accused of stabbing his mother brought her ailing pet to Santa Rosa vet clinic
The man who arrived at Santa Rosa's PetCare veterinary clinic the night of Sept. 21 was in an obvious hurry.
He thrust a carrier with a cat inside it across the counter to a receptionist and told her the animal was sick. After signing his name to authorize treatment and providing an address on Stony Point Road, he started for the door, saying he'd be back in five minutes.
"The doctor will be right out. Can't you wait?" the receptionist asked.
He said he could not and drove off as she watched from the parking lot.
Pet abandonment is not unheard of. What makes this instance unusual is that the man, 41-year-old Chris Lavis, is being sought by Santa Rosa police in the stabbing death of his mother, whose cat he brought to the clinic.
The animal was dropped off six days before the body of 63-year-old Connie LaSalle, a retired Exchange Bank employee, was discovered Sept. 27 in her Stony Point Road condo -- the address Lavis listed on the veterinary clinic form.
