Man spotted walking with horse stolen from Shelby Farms
MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Shelby Farms Stables is asking for the community's help finding a 22-year-old horse stolen Thursday afternoon.
The Palamino named Pancho was in a pasture with 50 other horses when someone walked him off the property toward Mullin Station Road.
A barn manager discovered the gelding was missing and spotted human and hoof prints in the snow.
Eric Beene, owner of Shelby Farms Stables, said they were able to pick up a trail and followed the tracks for five miles to a fenced-in property at Sanga and Rocky Hills Road. He said people at the park also saw someone leading the horse along the Greenline.
'We put out an alert on Facebook, and instantly, I got some people calling me and said yeah, we passed a young male 25-30 leading the horse down the Greenway where people were riding bicycles and jogging,' said Beene, 'It's pretty much nuts. It's 18 degrees, and he's walking this horse down the road across Germantown Road.'
Beene has owned the stables for ten years and said Pancho is one of his oldest horses. He thinks the thief grabbed the first horse he saw. He said Pancho was wearing a green blanket, but he's worried about the animal's well-being.
'I was very upset. The first thing I worry about in temperatures, like, did something happen to him,' said Beene. 'We even put on Facebook if they contact us by tonight, we'll come get the horse, no questions asked, but if they wait until the morning, I want the sheriff's deputies to do whatever they have to do to this person.'
He said the horsenapping was captured on camera along the Greenline. If you have seen the horse or know where he is, call Crimestoppers at 901-528-CASH or call Shelby Farms Stables Stables at 901-647-5793.

Couple wanted for questioning by NYPD in fatal Bronx stabbing
Cops want to question a man and a woman they believe have pivotal information about the fatal stabbing of a 39-year-old man outside a historic former Bronx NYPD stationhouse earlier this month, officials said Tuesday. Cops released surveillance footage of the couple in the hopes that someone recognizes them. They want to quiz the pair as they continue to look for the man who fatally stabbed Shamel Parnell in the neck and chest on Bathgate Ave. near E. Tremont Ave. about 12:20 a.m. on June 2. Police last week released a surveillance image of the suspected stabber, who fled the scene in a cab. Parnell got into an argument with his killer before being stabbed. Medics rushed him to St. Barnabas Hospital, where he died about 25 minutes later, officials said. The stabber fled in a dark-colored cab last seen heading west on E. 179th St., police said. Cops recovered a knife at the scene. The victim's mother, Sherri Parnell, 61, hadn't seen her son for more than a decade when he was killed. 'When the officers came yesterday, they showed me a picture and it was him,' she said after the slaying. 'I haven't seen him in some years, many years really. Approximately 12 years. But that's still my son. 'He stayed with me a little when I lived in another part of the Bronx but he'd always be going out, coming in,' she added. 'I didn't know what he was doing.' The building Parnell was stabbed in front of housed the NYPD's 48th Precinct for decades but is now home to a Head Start program. The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1983 for its notable architecture. Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers at (800) 577-TIPS. All calls will be kept confidential.
