The car was idling on Crampton Road just outside Red Bay, a city in northeastern Alabama on the Mississippi border, long enough for neighbors to suspect.
But when sheriff’s deputies arrived on Friday night, they found the owner of the car. She was dead – Jacqueline Summer Bird was crushed by a pack of dogs.
“I’ve never seen anything like it in 27 years,” Franklin County Sheriff Shannon Oliver told WTVA.
Those same dogs were the reason Bird visited the area this morning, the Franklin County Sheriff’s Office said. A 58-year-old employee of the Alabama Department of Public Health, Beard, followed a report on a woman attacked by a pack of dogs on Thursday.

The law also provides guidelines for the euthanasia of the animal.

A week before Colvin’s death, another woman, 46-year-old Tracy Patterson Cornelius, was also killed by a pack of dogs. A second woman was seriously injured in the same incident, according to AL.com.

Bird went to the Red Bay area on Friday to investigate an attack on a dog that occurred Thursday afternoon when a woman on a walk was crushed by animals.
“She was in a very bad condition,” Sheriff Oliver told AL.com.
Investigators said Byrd was trying to contact the dog’s owner when she was killed.
The dogs attacked people again around 6 pm, when sheriff’s deputies arrived to investigate the suspicious car, which was parked by the road all day, law enforcement said.
“When the deputies arrived, they were greeted by residents of Crumpton Road,” the sheriff’s office said. “Several dogs started attacking the residents when the deputies were there, and one person received minor injuries.
There were seven dogs in all, Oliver said. Some were “euthanized immediately,” according to the sheriff’s office.
Ryan Easterling, acting director of communications at the Alabama Department of Public Health, said in a statement to the press that the department mourns Beard’s death.
“Summer was known to her colleagues as an exceptional person. She was a great team worker and was loved by those who knew her, “he said. “It’s a very sad day for ADPH.”
