GORILLA UPDATE - HEAD FOUND!
Good job Appleton Police department! Excellent job-hunting the culprits down whom viciously ripped the head off our gorilla. They received a tip on their hot line at 4:30am ,last week. A judge issued a search warrant to discover and rescue the decapitated head in an apartment in Minnesota. The culprits were two gainfully employed adult men ages 24 and 28. They were in town for thanksgiving and on the way home when they decide to commit this heinous crime.
The head was shipped in a box (with air holes) via UPS from the Minnesota police department to the Appleton police department. The gorilla head then got an escort from the Appleton police to Balloon Magic were it was reunited with it’s body. The police attribute to the YouTube video as to the reason that they were able to get the tip off, as the head’s whereabouts.
After many hours on the gorilla robot surgery table his head has been reattached. Unfortunately it had been apart from its body too many days and I am afraid this gorilla will never be able to wave again.
We at Balloon Magic would like to thank the Public for it’s out pouring of sympathy and concern. We are very lucky to be part of such a wonderful community, for these past 25 years.
