Her disappearance set off a goat-hunt that ended when McAllen police found her in someone s backyard on Saturday. Traveler was back in the zoo on Monday, recovering from a mild case of diarrhea, said Michelle Willette, zoo veterinarian. But she hasn t seen her mom yet. We ve had to keep her under quarantine. No charges have been filed in connection to the theft of the goat, but police in the Rio Grande Valley s two largest cities continue to investigate the crime.
Arrests are likely.
The break in the case came on Saturday morning, when McAllen Police received an anonymous telephone tip as to the animal s wereabouts. Joel Morales, of the Criminal Investigations Division. And there it was. Morales declined to release the name of the people who housed Traveler. The police sergeant said he didn t know how the animal wound up in McAllen.
