Panic struck residents of Manlius, N.Y., over Memorial Day weekend when Faye, a beloved swan, disappeared. Three teenagers were arrested and charged with trespassing, grand larceny, criminal mischief and conspiracy after hopping a fence and killing Faye.
In the dead of night on Saturday, three teenagers had hopped the fence, pinned Faye down and killed her. They then took her body to the home of one of their relatives, where she was cooked and eaten.
Police believe the three teens hopped the fence encircling Goose Lake Park around 12:20 a.m. to go “hunting” at the Manlius Swan Pond. Two of them allegedly pinned down Faye, who was nesting near the pond. They killed her, took her body and abducted the four cygnets, leaving behind Faye’s longtime mate, Manny, according to police. They then allegedly brought Faye’s body to the home of one of the teenagers, where the swan was prepared, cooked and eaten.
Manny and Faye were the village’s most recent swan power couple, courtesy of Bean. He owned and cared for Faye’s parents and, when they were eaten by a coyote who dug under his fence, Bean incubated the dead mother’s eggs. Only one hatched — Faye, whom Bean raised as a pet. And so it went with Faye, who spent the next 15 years roving the pond, laying eggs and leading a caravan of cygnets each spring as Manny protected them. All the while, the swans were winning the hearts of Manlius residents and tourists.
