After more than two months of searching, the quest to find former Patriots linebacker Jerod Mayo’s missing dog has come to an unfortunate end.
On Sunday, Knox, Mayo’s five-year-old English bulldog, was found dead in the home of his trainer in Cranston, R.I., according to the Rhode Island Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. Knox had been missing since June 28.
Amelia Ferreira, whose home Knox’s body was recovered from, is being charged with one count of obstruction for concealing evidence relevant to the investigation, per the RISPCA. In a statement, the RISPCA said Ferreira knew of Knox’s deceased body “for several weeks” and purposely hid its location from authorities.
