Puppy Doe suspect probed in church theft case

Radoslaw Czerkawski, 32, is the suspect in the theft of 11 checks from the rectory of St. Thomas Martyr Catholic church, where he stayed under the guise that "he was interested in becoming a pastor," New Bedford police Det. Capt. Steven Vicente said. The theft was first reported in May of 2012, police said.

"He left, presumably to go to Canada. It was after he had left that the church noticed three accounts had been accessed and that a total of 11 checks were stolen and cashed," Vicente added.

Puppy Doe suspect has murky past

QUINCY — It was the vicious torture of a once-nameless dog dubbed “Puppy Doe” that, in an ironic twist, turned the spotlight on her alleged abuser, a rootless drifter living on the fringes of society.

The background of Radoslaw Artur Czerkawski, the 32-year-old Polish national arrested last month in a hotel in New Britain, Conn., is something of a mystery. Police reports and court records suggest that he moved from state to state, and out of the country, deceiving a string of people along the way.

One example occurred when he purchased Puppy Doe, whose name at the time was Kiya, from a Worcester couple in June, according to police reports. Czerkawski told the couple that he lived on a large farm in Connecticut, but he actually was living at 89 Whitwell St. in Quincy, in a Victorian home across the street from Quincy Medical Center.

During Czerkawski’s arraignment hearing, Assistant District Attorney Tracey Cusick said each count of animal cruelty carried a sentence of up to five years in prison.

“The defendant is facing decades of incarceration,” he said.

I hope he gets the maximum possible. People like this will not only continue to torture and kill animals but will graduate to humans. No question. It benefits society to punish them severely.
