FOLLY BEACH, SC (WCSC) - Police have sent evidence involving a murdered Folly Beach cat to the state crime lab in Columbia today.

Judy, an 8-year-old family pet, was killed on Mother's Day when she was stabbed and impaled on a piece of steel rebar at a vacant property next to her owner's house. She was found two days later.
