ZANESVILLE, Ohio — Authorities in Muskingum County say they have recovered most of the exotic animals that were running loose since they were set free, apparently by their owner, last night. The owner of the exotic animal farm, Terry Thompson, was found dead yesterday in his house. Lutz said Thompson apparently opened the cages to release all of the animals, then committed suicide. Sheriff Matt Lutz announced that authorities believe only three animals remain missing this morning — a mountain lion, bear and monkey.
