Summary:
A 352-pound Siberian tiger named Tuffy escaped from the property of Abby and Emma Hedengrans. He roamed the area for over four weeks before being shot and killed by authorities several hundred yards from soccer and baseball fields at the edge of a housing development. The couple kept 22 exotic cats, and one of their lynxes escaped around the same time (see 1/31/05 incident), but they denied that the tiger was theirs. They were arrested.
