Missing Dallas Zoo Monkeys Found in Empty Home, and Police Want to Speak to Doritos Man
Yesterday, the latest in a string of strange events at the Dallas Zoo occurred after zoo officials announced that two tamarin monkeys were missing from their enclosure. It looks like they were removed deliberately.
After a massive hunt, the two monkeys were located in the closet of a nearby empty house.
Dallas Police, with the help of the Lancaster Police Department, located the two missing tamarin monkeys from the Dallas Zoo at an abandoned home in Lancaster, Texas. Pictured is one of the animals still inside the closet of the house. The monkeys – earlier stolen – have been returned to the zoo. Police received a tip-off that the monkeys were in the empty property. The investigation is continuing and as yet no arrests have been made. 01 Feb 2023 Pictured: One of the two stolen monkeys from Dallas Zoo found by police.

Police have released surveillance footage of a man eating from a bag of Doritos that they wish to speak with in connection to the monkeys’ escapades.
Police had not said why they wanted to speak to the man or when the footage was recorded. They have asked the public to contact them at 214-671-4509 with any information.
