The case stems back to December 2022. Authorities say that 129 dogs and 43 cats were found inside the women’s home. This home has now been condemned. Some of the animals were found dead. Because Lonczak's teen daughter was also living in that home, both women were charged with child endangerment.
Sentencing is set for August.
