Feb. 7 (UPI) — A life-sized doll on a Georgia trail in a national forest was mistaken for a “deceased female.”
Jones County Sheriff’s office deputies initially responded to what was mistakenly “believed to be a body located on a trail in Hitchiti National Forest,” according to a Facebook post from the office.
Upon arrival on the scene Thursday, “deputies observed what appeared to be the body of a deceased female wearing white socks,” the post read. “Our crack team of investigators arrived on scene, along with Deputy Matthew Dennis, who quickly recognized the body to actually be a life-sized doll, complete with accessories,” and a model number.
The sheriff’s office also said in the post that the doll is “now named Selena, is a little under the weather, but she has been having a nice day and is expected to make a full recovery.”
“In all seriousness, thank God for small blessings in that this just turned out to be a case of littering,” the post added. “If you know Selena or are responsible for her whereabouts, rest assured no DNA was collected and you are safe. But in the future, please make sure to dispose of your items in a responsible way.”
