MERIDEN, Conn. -- The mystery deepens in Meriden after a swan goose was discovered dead in the road with a note next to the animal's body last week.

Now, people are stepping forward and offering rewards to anyone with information on who was responsible for the animal's death.

Last Tuesday, Big Boy, the swan goose, was found crushed to death in the middle of the road. Police said the gouge on the animal's head was the same width as a tire which led them to believe Big Boy was run over.

However, the story gets more bizarre.

Police said when they found the animal in the road, they found a note next to it that said, "Killed with intent. How pathetic we are as a species."

The reward for information on who killed the bird totals $2,000.

Meriden police are asking anyone with information to contact them.
