Halbach allegedly used this fake position to get dozens of dogs. Many of those animals were found dead or malnourished in the couple’s home. Their 9-year-old child was also nearby.
Police say they are also investigating alleged computer/electronic crimes that Leconey and Halbach are said to have committed while Halbach was allegedly posing as the animal rescue employee.
