Sandra Herold, the chimp’s owner, even used the computer while treating him like her kid. Travis stole Herold’s car keys and tried to use them on other vehicles in an effort to get away.
Herold, who passed away in 2010, offered Travis some iced tea laced with Xanax in an attempt to get him back into the home.
The animal viciously attacked her when Nash came to the home to assist. Investigators hypothesized that Travis could have thought Nash,
Who knew the chimp, was an intruder when she showed up sporting a new hairdo. It’s possible that Xanax, a medication used to treat anxiety in people, contributed to Travis’ hostility.
Nash had cosmetic surgery and a double hand transplant at the same time, but she had to have them taken out soon after because her body rejected the procedure.
