Whatever happened to the Price Hill monkeys?
So far, there is not substantial proof that any such monkeys exist, minus several eyewitness accounts.
No monkeys have been claimed, captured or corralled, police said Wednesday, one week after the first reported siting.
Police responding to repeated claims the following day did not find monkeys, but rather owls mating — a noise which could sound like, you guessed it, monkeys.
The legend of these escaped moneys began one week ago, on the night of April 7.
“For hours, I was just shook because that’s not something that you see every day,” Sammy Trinh said.
Trinh said she saw at least five monkeys across from her home near St. Joseph’s Cemetery on West Eighth Street.
“That’s why we instantly pulled out cameras because it doesn’t even sound believable,” Lucky Griffith said.
Griffith and Trinh recorded a video of what they saw. They said the video was recorded at about 10 p.m. April 7 and is grainy.
Trinh said the video shows three monkeys in a tree, but that there are two more on the ground that can’t be seen in the video. Another woman also said she saw one of the monkeys.
