Tale of California couple savaged by chimpanzees takes chilling turn

St James and LaDonna Davis shot to fame in 2005 when the chimpanzee-lovers lost body parts in a frenzied primate attack. Now, it seems, that was not the end of their tragedy and suffering.

Yeah, this is about the couple whose chimpanzee savagely mauled the husband. But, this is about elder abuse, taking advantage ($$$) of the woman who is in mental decline.

Actually, it wasn't their chimpanzee, Moe, that attacked them, it was two other chimps that had escaped the facility and then attacked them. They sued the facility and received a $4 million settlement. The husband had a stroke and the wife either never handled finances or was suffering from dementia or both.

After the attack, Moe was moved to another facility where he escaped and was never found.
