Late last night a frantic 911 call summoned police to the Celestial Vision trailer park in Henry County, where they found yet another grizzly scene... apparently the work of the "Henry County Horror." The call came less than twenty-four hours after the death of Leslie-Ann Jenkins, who had been the sole survivor of a previous attack by the unknown animal.

When they arrived at the mobile home of Barbara and Steve Holms, police found the front door locked, but the rear door torn completely off of the trailer. The furniture was overturned, and carpet and walls were strewn with blood. In the trailer's only bedroom, a loaded but unfired 12-gauge shotgun lay on the floor. Nearby was the severed arm of Steve Holms. One officer, who asked to remain anonymous, said that the arm appeared to have been 'bitten off just above the elbow.'

Aside from the blood and the arm, there was no sign of Barbara or of the rest of Steve Holm's body.

The 911 call came from Joe Hambly, who was awakened by sounds of screaming coming from the trailer across from his at about 3:30am. He looked outside and saw signs of a commotion through the Holm's window open window.

"I went outside and walked over there," said Hambly after an extensive interview with police. "Probably not a smart thing to do, but I knew Steve and I knew he had a gun. I figured this animal was in there and he was gonna shoot it. I wanted to see."

Hambly admits that he was intoxicated at the time, but he claims that he saw very clearly what burst out of the window as he approached the front door.

"The door was locked and it had gotten real quiet. I was standin there wonderin' what to do when this thing came jumping out of the window. Thought it was a dog at first, but it was huge... big as a horse, it was. But it wasn't no dog, I can tell you that. It had horns like a buck... five or six points on 'em. And thick, grey skin... not a single hair on it. The thing hit the ground real graceful... like a cat. It looked over at me. It had these eyes... these big yellow eyes. Bigger than they should have been. And teeth... a mouthful of sharp teeth like knives. It was all bloody... mouth and teeth all covered with blood. It looked at me and made this noise. Sounded like a moan... real soft like a person dying. Then it ran around the back of the trailer and disappeared into the woods."

Police were quick to dismiss Hambly's description as fanciful at best. The front window of the trailer was broken out, but there were no tracks leading into the woods, and there is no such animal that even approaches what Holms described.

"I saw what I saw," maintains Hambly. "Even drew 'em a picture. Drunk or not, I saw what I saw and that was it."

Police refused to release the sketch made by Hambly, saying that they intended to question him again later in the day after he had sobered up. Officers escorted Hambly back to his home, and would not allow the press to question him further.

Barbara and Steve Holms lived alone in an aging single-wide at 113 Celestial Dr. Of all the trailers in the park, theirs was the closest to the woods that surround the area. Other residents in the area had already moved out.

Police still maintain that the animal is a large, possibly rabid dog kept by Alexander D. Holt, who was arrested on suspicion of murder and kidnapping on August 6th. Police found the dismembered and cannibalized remains of local resident Bonnie Hand in Holt's basement, along with items belonging to Angela Stilton, Saretta Lewis, Jamie Anderson, and Henrietta Bolsom, who had all been reported missing in Macon, Ga. earlier this year. Holt killed himself while in police custody, but the next night a large animal destroyed several rooms in the house before breaking out a window and escaping into the woods

Sheriff's officers discovered the campsite of Thurmond, Debra, and Leslie-Ann Jenkins early on the morning of August 11th. The camp had been torn apart and smeared with blood. Leslie-Ann was found alive and in shock the next day, but died yesterday without having regained consciousness. On the night of August 12, three sheriffs officers were killed while on patrol at the Holt residence. After responding to reports of gunshots, officers found the dismembered and partially eaten body of Danny Evers in the basement. All that remained of officers Rodney Deams and Joe McKinney were large pools of blood, and a severed hand still holding a weapon.

Police have responded to this latest development by asking surrounding counties for help in the hunt for the animal. Several teams of heavily-armed hunters have already been dispatched into woods.

"We'll find this thing," said Sheriff Robert Cook. "We'll find it soon."
