Maybe they've discovered the alias that Russ Edwards has been hiding under.

BUFFALO, N.Y. - A western New York man appeared in court on Friday to face
animal cruelty charges, after trying to marinate his cat so he could eat
it, authorities said.

Police discovered the cat in the trunk of a car being driven by Gary
Korkuc, of Cheektowaga, N.Y., when they pulled him over for running a stop
sign in August, Buffalo Police spokesman Michael DeGeorge said. He fled to
Maryland following his arrest but was extradited back to Buffalo late on
Thursday.

The animal was found in a liquid mixture of oil, crushed pepper, salt and
other ingredients, and Korkuc told police it was in preparation for a meal.
The cat, a male, survived. Several baths cleaned him of the concoction, and
he seemed to be in good health otherwise, said Erie County SPCA spokeswoman
Gina Browning.

Korkuc, 52, appeared in Buffalo City Court, where he is charged with felony
aggravated cruelty to an animal and several traffic charges. Due back in
court next Wednesday, he was being held at a local jail.
