INSPECTION WARRANT Murphy, Olga& Mursalimov, Igor,tenants[s] of 1740 Piedmont Ct. Marco Island, FL 34145. Collier County Florida. CEAC20250001560 AFFIDAVIT OF CARA FRANK IN HER CAPACITY AS SUPERVISOR FOR COLLIER COUNTY CODE ENFORCEMENT/ANIMAL CONTROL STATE OF FLORIDA COUNTY OF COLLIER BEFORE ME, personally appeared Cara Frank, Supervisor, known to me to be the person who personally executed this Affidavit and who, first being duly sworn, says under oath as follows: 1. I am a State of Florida Certified Animal Control Officer, and I am employed by Collier County's Code Enforcement Department ("CED") as an Animal Control Supervisor. In my employment,I am charged with the inspection and investigation of potential violations of the Collier County Animal Control Ordinances. I was previously employed as an Animal Cruelty Investigator in the state of Colorado for 10 months and an Animal Control Officer in Hillsborough County, Florida for 3 years. I possess a Master's Degree in Veterinary Forensic Science from the University of Florida and have been recognized as an expert witness in Collier County Special Magistrate Hearings related to Animal Control 2. On February 11, 2025, Code Enforcement received a complaint alleging the hoarding of over 25 cats at 1740 Piedmont Ct., Marco Island, with strong odors of cat urine. A prior complaint dated December 8,2024, alleged that Olga Murphy, a hobby breeder of Maine Coon cats,was supplying sick animals to a Hillsborough County resident. 3. Multiple attempts were made by ACO Hope Ress and myself to conduct inspections between February 15 and March 4,2025.Despite visible occupancy and communications, access was denied. Ms. Murphy and Mr. Mursalimov failed to respond or cooperate,even while demonstrably present. A citation for failure to allow inspection was posted on March 4. 4. On March 4, I interviewed Ms. Olga McQueen, a friend of Ms. Murphy. She confirmed via text messages that Ms. Murphy had been deliberately avoiding inspection and admitted that approximately 100 cats, many ill, were inside the home. On March 5, after being notified that Ms. Murphy was moving cats out of the residence, ACO Amanda Kitchen conducted an inspection and observed 26 cats, some visibly ill. Nine cats were surrendered, and a breeder permit suspension was issued. 5. Subsequent reports from Ms. McQueen throughout March indicated ongoing noncompliance, concealment of cats, and fatalities among the animals. On March 26, Ms. McQueen reported that Ms. Murphy was also using another property at 100 Barefoot Williams Road (Lot 29)to hide additional cats. 6. Reinspections of 1740 Piedmont Ct. on March 30 and April 23 revealed strong odors of ammonia and discrepancies in cat counts. Cats showing signs of illness were observed. Ms. Murphy failed to provide consistent explanations or adequate veterinary records. 7. Between April 27 and May 19,three Maine Coon cats were found roaming near 100 Barefoot Williams Road, Lot 29. Witnesses Deborah Plymale and Deburah Daniels confirmed sightings of Ms. Murphy and her GMC Yukon at that location. Security footage and photographic evidence confirmed the vehicle's presence. Witnesses also reported a strong smell of urine and feces from the residence, which had covered windows obstructing visibility. Of the cats found, some were matted, suffered fur loss, or showed signs of respiratory illness. 8. County property records confirm the owner of 1740 Piedmont Court(Folio No. 56783800005) as Cape Trafalgar II LLC, with Ms. Murphy and Mr. Mursalimov listed as tenants. (Exhibit A) 9. Based on my training and experience, I believe that conditions at 11740 Piedmont Ct represent a violation of Collier County Animal Control Ordinances and pose an immediate risk to animal health and welfare. Therefore, I respectfully request issuance of a daytime inspection warrant granting unannounced access to the residence only. Prior notice may result in the relocation or concealment of animals, endangering the animal's lives.
