- CBS 11 has learned more information about how the two monkeys that were taken from the Dallas Zoo on Monday were found.
After Dallas police released a photo of a man — hoping to talk to him about the two emperor tamarin monkeys that went missing from the Dallas Zoo,"Someone did notice the person that was on the news and they turned it in and said that they noticed the person was somebody from the neighborhood around our church," Tonya Thomas said. She said theat their community house, which police called an abandoned house.
"Now nothing like the zoo or anything like that but there were a few animals in there," she said."Cats, birds, chickens, pigeons, stuff like that." The monkey case is the fourth incident at the Dallas zoo in recent weeks. On Jan. 13, a clouded leopard named Nova was intentionally let out of her habitat through a cut-out hole—a hole similar to one found shortly later in a monkey habitat, according to the zoo. Nova was found sleeping in a tree that evening.
