A drainage tunnel believed to be the site of satanic rituals has been cleaned up in Albuquerque.

Ten-year-old Michael Cericola found his cat dead and mutilated in the arroyo near Comanche and Tramway NE last month.  Inside, the tunnel was covered in graffiti saying “666” and “Satan.”

City officials spent $7,000 repainting the tunnel and placing grates on either side to prevent anyone from entering.

Officials plan to clean up other arroyos around the city.  They are also offering a $15,000 reward for information regarding the cat mutilation.
