Just pulled up this from the St.Louis Post Dispatch:

Pensioner Attacked in Farmington
(02/06/02, Farmington, MO) Authorities in this small community 80 miles south of St. Louis are baffled by an attack early this morning. Police were summoned to the parking lot at the Wal-Mart by an employee who had responded to the cries of Richard O'Toole, 82, a pensioner living at Presbyterian Manor Complex in Farmington. O'Toole, a very diminuitive man, was being aided by several people when police arrived. He was writhing in pain and screaming repeatedly, "The fecker ate me arsehole." O'Toole was transported to Farmington Community Hospital where he is listed in critical, but stable condition following surgery.
There were no eyewitnesses to the actual attack but a very large white male was seen leaving the scene by several patrons of the Steak N Shake Restaurant. Dudley Snatcherd of rural Farmington said the man had eaten breakfast at the Steak N Shake and left when he was told they had run out of both eggs and steak. Snatcherd said the man was quite angry but was unable to give an accurate description saying only he was "a big sumbitch."
O'Toole had also just left the restaurant and was walking back to Presbyterian Manor, a retirement village in Farmington where he has lived for the past seven years. The Wal-Mart parking lot adjoins the parking area at the Steak N Shake.
Formby Smugholtz, a detective with the Farmington Police, could only comment that it was a strange and gruesome crime. "I've never seen anything like it. He ate the asshole out of the poor little guy." O'Toole is well known in the area and often assists in the annual St. Patrick's Day celebrations. Presbyterian Manor spokesperson Sheila Lipschitz says the Manor has a nursing facility and will move Mr. O'Toole there as soon as possible. Presbyerian Manor is a complete assisted living facility with total services for the elderly.
Anyone with information should contact the Farmington Police Department...(Dwight Mannsburden, Staff Writer)
