![]() Sex with another human is bad enough in 90-degree heat, but the idea of a whole horse-with its hot hair, steaming sweat, and blasting body heat beating down on your back relentlessly-might have been enough for him to consider another, less thermal distraction that fateful night.Īfter admiring for a moment the great clouds that had gathered around the peak of Mount Rainier-the barn where the fucking happened also had a view of this kind of natural beauty-I noticed that Kelly O, the photographer with me, was, in an effort to get better and better pictures, standing on the property once owned by Big Dick's former owners. Had the temperature been as hot on the day Pinyan visited the farm as it was exactly 10 years later, he might not have messed with that deadly horse, known to his sexual admirers as Big Dick. Ten years later, the same date in Enumclaw was a scorching 90 degrees-26 degrees above the historic average for that day-and temperatures remained that high (in the 90s) for days. The highest temperature in Enumclaw on Pinyan's last full day on earth was a very pleasant 64.9 degrees, with a low of 48 degrees. Much of the fields and lawns and the farm where Pinyan was fatally penetrated are brittle, brown, desiccated. The lush green grass of the past was mostly gone. Indeed, that was the first thing that struck me when I reentered Enumclaw last week, after nearly a decade, and drove down the street to the notorious barn. Bill Cosby is no longer America's father but an alleged serial rapist. A tsunami resulted in the meltdown of three nuclear reactors in Japan. We have been through the worst economic collapse since the Great Depression. We now have laws against bestiality in Washington State. Much has changed in the world since Pinyan's painful departure (peritonitis is no picnic), and since my first-ever visit to Enumclaw, which was in 2006, to write about what had happened. ![]() Also revealed was Pinyan's recent move from Seattle to Oak Harbor, his occupation (an engineer at Boeing), and details about his family life (he was once married and was a father). Pinyan's relatives in a parking lot south of Tacoma one or two days after the initial story ran, and they asked me not to run Pinyan's name in the paper." Sullivan didn't run it, but everyone else did. As Sullivan tells me, his relatives had tried to suppress it. So she called Urquhart, and he told her that "a man died while having sex with a horse."Įventually, the name of the dead man surfaced, Kenneth Pinyan. "I don't believe the news release said anything about bestiality," Sullivan recalls. ![]() Two weeks later, on July 15, 2005, a reporter at the Seattle Times, Jennifer Sullivan, broke the story: "Enumclaw-area animal-sex case investigated."Īs Sullivan remembers it now, the spokesperson for the King County Sheriff's Office at the time, John Urquhart, released a "vague press release" about a recent death. Police soon figured out that the man at the hospital had died after having anal sex with a horse. Beyond that, the base of the great volcano. In the distance is a flowing glacial river whose course marks the end of King County and the beginning of Pierce County-the White River. South of the farm is a field of grass and scrub. On the other side of the gate is a private road shaded by towering poplars. The number led authorities to a farm on a street I am not going to name, a street that ends at the gate of a home. Video footage revealed the license-plate number of the vehicle that brought the dead man to the hospital. The police were called to investigate the mystery. The man who'd been dropped off did not have a pulse. Early in the morning of July 2, 2005, an unknown person abandoned a man in the emergency room of the Enumclaw Community Hospital.
