MCSO: 3 arrested for planning to commit acts of bestiality

MESA, AZ - Authorities arrested a married couple and their friend Monday night for conspiring to commit bestiality with a male Golden Shepherd mix.

Pinal County resident Shane Walker, 38, and his wife, 33-year-old Sarah Dae Walker were arrested along with their friend, 29-year-old Robert A. Aucker of Gilbert, according to Sgt. Brandon Jones with the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office.

The three suspects reportedly used the website Craigslist.org to find a dog that could engage in sexual acts with Sarah Dae Walker while the other two suspects watched.

At the time of the arrests, the three suspects drove to a location near S. Country Club Drive and the US 60 in Mesa with plans to commit acts of bestiality, Jones said.

The suspects then offered an undercover detective and owner of the Golden Shepherd mix the opportunity to join in this act.

All three suspects admitted to detectives that they were planning to engage in bestiality, Jones said.

The Walkers said they were “swingers” who enjoy an open marriage, according to Jones.

Aucker told detectives that he and Sarah Dae Walker have had a sexual relationship for the last month, Jones said. The two reportedly told authorities that they both shared dreams of having sexual relationships with dogs.

Shane Walker told authorities that he’s a flight attendant, and his wife is a self-employed photographer, Jones said. Aucker is reportedly a car salesman.

“I remain extremely disappointed in the leadership at Craigslist.org for refusing to do what they can to stop this,” said Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio.

Arpaio said he sent Jim Buckmaster, CEO of Craiglist.org, a letter asking him to consider better monitoring the website to prevent this kind of solicitation.

Buckmaster never responded, Arpaio said.
