An Arlington Heights, Ill. family who left for a vacation during the first week in July returned home to make a horrific discovery just days after their departure.
According to a story published Friday in the Chicago Tribune, the family left for vacation on July 2 and returned on July 4. While they were away, their dog, “Coco,” was being checked on by a neighbor.

Sometime between the neighbor’s last check on July 3, and the family’s return on July 4, someone broke into the home and put the little dog inside of the convection oven and turned the oven on. Jewelry valued at $3,000 was also missing from the residence.
As of yet, the authorities have not determined if Coco was dead before the oven was turned on or not.
According to the Daily Herald, a day after the disturbing discovery, a 39-year-old ex-boyfriend was interviewed as a person of interest.
That man, whose name has not been released, was released on July 7 after police determined that there was not enough evidence to bring charges against him.
The 39-year-old man has been arrested on a prior domestic charge related to this family.
According to the Daily Herald publication, the ex-boyfriend is still considered to be a person of interest in this disturbing case.
