Fayette County couple accused of torturing animals
A Fayette County couple is accused of neglecting their two cats and two dogs for months.
Pennsylvania State Police troopers responded to Ryan Murphy and Paige Miske’s home in Redstone Township following reports of dead animals on April 18.
Investigators say when they entered, they found two dead dogs, one barricaded in a back room, the other in a closet. The two cats were roaming about.
Officials say the conditions inside the home were deplorable.
“This is an absolutely avoidable crime, absolute avoidable circumstances,” said Fayette County District Attorney Mike Aubele. “Again, I can’t wrap my head around why somebody would allow something like this to happen. There aren’t many crimes that i can think of that are more egregious than what’s happened in Republic.”
Murphy is already in custody on unrelated charges and Miske was arrested and booked Thursday.
The cats were found to be severely dehydrated and are receiving care from the Ninth Life Rescue.
Murphy and Miske are each facing numerous charges including aggravated cruelty to animals and neglect of animals.

Former Pittsburgh Penguins player Nick Bonino is hanging up his skates and coming back to the organization as a member of the coaching staff.
Bonino, 37, was playing professionally overseas in Slovenia and announced he was retiring to join the coaching staff of new Penguins head coach Dan Muse.
“I just wanted to officially announce I’ll be retiring from professional hockey,” Bonino said in a video recorded and posted to social media. “I had a really unique opportunity to coach the Pittsburgh Penguins, something we thought was the best move for our family at this time.”
Bonino spent the 2015-16 and 2016-17 seasons with the Penguins and won two Stanley Cup titles while playing in Pittsburgh as a member of the infamous ‘HBK Line’ alongside Carl Hagelin and Phil Kessel.
After winning the Stanley Cup in 2017, Bonino left the organization as a free agent and spent several years playing for the Nashville Predators before playing in Minnesota, San Jose, a brief stint back in Pittsburgh, and in New York with the Rangers.
It’s unclear what role on Muse’s coaching staff Bonino is expected to fill.
