The Attack
In August, 1981, three-year old girl Kelly Keen was left by her mother, Cathy, to watch cartoons in the living room of the family's home in the Chevy Chase Canyon neighborhood of Glendale, California. Kelly left through the front door and stepped into the driveway where she encountered a coyote. The coyote took the child in its mouth and ran off, dragging her through the street. Kelly's father, Robert, came running quickly, chased the coyote off, and rushed Kelly to the Glendale Adventist Hospital, where she was in surgery for four hours before she died. The cause of death was a broken neck and blood loss as a direct result of the coyote attack.
