YES, JESSICA, WE’RE LEARNED FROM NEIGHBORS THAT THEY BELIEVE THE MAN WHO RENTED THE U-HAUL TRUCK LIVES RIGHT AROUND THE CORNER FROM HERE. AND POLICE DISCOVERED DOG FOOD IN THAT TRUCK AS WELL. BUT IT WAS ULTIMATELY THE HEAT THAT PROBABLY KILLED THE DOGS. RIGHT NOW THERE ARE THREE DOGS FOUND DEAD IN THIS U-HAUL TRUCK. NEIGHBORS SAY THE VAN WAS PARKED THERE FOR OVER A WEEK IN THE Blistering HEAT. WE SMELLED SOMETHING REALLY BAD, REALLY, REALLY BAD, LIKE A DEAD BODY. IVES JEFF LARSON LIVES ACROSS THE STREET FROM WHERE THE VAN WAS PARKED ON EDGEWATER DRIVE IN MATTAPAN. HIS DAUGHTER SAYS SHE SAW A MAN ON MONDAY TRYING TO GET A FIVE-GALLON JUG OF WATER FROM A NEARBY ON BREAK. IT WAS CAUGHT ON VIDEO. ANOTHER NEIGHBOR SAYS THE MAN TOLD HIM A DOG HAD HEAT STROKE. THEY HAD MANY GALLONS ON THE FLOOR AND THEY POURED WATER ON THE DOG AND THAT MAKES ME SUSPECTIVE, SHE SAYS. THE DOG WAS SHINING, BUT AT THIS POINT OTHER NEIGHBORS THINK THE OTHER TWO DOGS WERE DEAD. WHEN I, UM, LOOKED INSIDE THE VAN, I SAW A FLY IN THE VAN. MAYBE A THOUSAND FLIES. JEFF LARSON CALLED THE POLICE, WHO CAME AND DISCOVERED THE TRAGIC SCENE. ONE OF THE DOGS WAS ALSO DEAD IN A BOX.
