'Body' found along national forest trail in Georgia turns out to be a life-sized doll

Investigators were called to the scene but soon discovered the “body” was a life-sized doll — “complete with accessories” and a model number.

“Never missing the opportunity, the crime scene was appropriately processed and the evidence was collected and brought to the Sheriff’s Office,” the Facebook post read.

Deputies named the “victim” Selena. They said she is “a little under the weather” but expected to fully recover.

“In all seriousness, thank God for small blessings in that this just turned out to be a case of littering,” the sheriff’s office said. “If you know Selena or are responsible for her whereabouts, rest assured no DNA was collected and you are safe.”

3. Selena was a Real Doll

A life-sized doll made of a titanium skeleton with rubberized skin. They cost upwards of $5,000 and they're primarily a sex toy although some men use them as actual companions at home. There are a few companies that make these "toys."

Someone probably wanted to get rid of the doll.

4. It reminds me of a story from several decades ago.

There was a partial skeleton found in the woods in the adjoining rural county. The skull was missing and the local coroner released a press statement that it was that of a female of a given age, and that the cause of death was homicide. When the remains were taken to the state crime lab for further analysis, it was determined that the skeleton was that of a bear...

Imagine the jokes that poor fellow had to suffer.

As far as the story in question, I promise you that I would not have gotten close enough to that "body" to determine that it wasn't real. Makes you wonder if some wife discovered her competitor and did away with the $5,000 dollar "toy."
