An Ohio woman’s motive remains unknown as she brazenly destroyed a couple’s Halloween decorations in their yard, leaving Shannon and Bill Zeller devastated. Vigilant neighbors captured the shocking incident on video, showing the woman tearing down the decorations.
Shannon shared with 13 ABCÂ that there were reports of someone being in their yard and damaging all of their decorations. The exact identity of the person remains unknown, leading to various speculations. Shannon expressed hope that the individual receives the necessary treatments they may require.
On October 7, an incident continued to haunt the couple involved. For 30 agonizing minutes, the woman ruthlessly tore apart the carefully curated decorations in the yard of their Ohio home. The destruction caused a staggering $1,000 worth of damages, but the true devastation lies in the loss of priceless decorations, which their children lovingly crafted over the years. Tragically, they can never be replaced, as their son, who contributed to these cherished items, has passed away.
“I couldn’t help but cry, to be honest. It felt like a wave of emotions hit me as I saw some of the items she broke. You see, these are not just ordinary things for us. They hold sentimental value because we made them together with our children. It’s heartbreaking because we lost our son in a motorcycle accident on November 3rd, and these items hold precious memories,” Shannon shared, her voice filled with sadness.
Authorities have taken 48-year-old Christina Horvath into custody, charging her with criminal damage and theft. It appears that she has also been accused of stealing various items. This arrest comes only two weeks after she was apprehended for hurling a rock at a vehicle’s windshield in Ohio.
The couple is currently in the process of recovering from the aftermath. They contributed to the commotion by holding a sign with lyrics from Miley Cyrus’ song “She Came in Like A Wrecking Ball.” Additionally, they placed a skeleton on a wrecking ball as part of their decorations.
Shannon explained, “I wanted to find a way to keep the situation as it is, but also add a fun and lighthearted twist to it. I hope people can understand that we were just trying to make light of a sad situation.” Shannon and her partner clarified that they had never met the Ohio woman before the incident occurred.
