"Foot-fetish" fiend caught in Akron
(CPS) - After following a
month-long trail, University of
Akron police have finally caught
up with an elusive "foot-fetish
man" who had been scaring
students as they studied in the
campus libraries.
The man, who had victimized
at least six students since mid-
January, apparently would
approach students studying in the
library "and stare at their feet,"
university spokesman Phil
Vetinary school deans warned of
threats from animal activists
(CPS) - Someone may be out
to kill college veterinary school
deans as a protest against
laboratory research on animals.
Law enforcement agencies
issued a "security alert" to vet
school deans around the country
the last week of February,
warning them they may be
targets of extremist animal rights
groups. The alert triggered fear
among those in the field, and
angered animal rights groups.
The warning came weeks after
the Feb. 8 ambush-murder of
Hyram Kitchen, dean of the
University of Tennessee College
of Veterinary Medicine.

One victim recounted how the
man sat down in a study carrel
next to where she was studying
with her shoes off, and then
removed his shoe and touched her
foot with his.
Upon nabbing the man, a 24-
year-old non-student, police
warned him to stay off campus
and away from students' feet.
The incidents don't seem to be
related to a long-running series of
Although police have no
motive for the murder, they say
they have received second- and
third-hand information that a
radical underground animal rights
groups killed Kitchen and plans
to kill "one dean a month for the
next 12 months" to protest lab
experiments on animals.
The alert, placed on the
National Crime Information
Center computer by Knoxville,
Tenn., police, says it's possible
that splinter groups from People
for the Ethical Treatment of
Animals (PETA) and the
underground Animal Liberation
Front (ALF) are involved.
shoe thefts from libraries at the
universities of Illinois at
Champaign-Urbana, Wisconsin-
Madison and Illinois State
University in Normal.
Wisconsin police arrested a
33-year-old lowa man last
December who admitted to taking
side trips to Wisconsin and
Illinois for five years to steal
shoes at campus libraries from
students who had kicked them off
while studying.
The accusation angered the
groups.
"This is ridiculous," said
Carol Burnett, spokeswoman for
both groups, based in
Washington, D.C. "There is no
basis for this reaction. Whoever
started this pulled it out of thin
air in an attempt to ruin our
credibility.”
"People are trying to
capitalize on Kitchen's murder,
and that is horrible. We abhor
violence. Our movement is all
about saving animals, and human
beings are animals," Burnett
