A life-size doll wrapped in plastic (a la Laura Palmer from Twin Peaks) was found in a wooded area near Izu City in Japan. Investigators went so far as to order an autopsy before sussing out the fakery.
Investigators found what appeared to be human remains in a forest in Izu City, a seaside resort in central Japan, after an anonymous caller reported seeing it, a Shizuoka state spokeswoman said on condition of anonymity, citing department policy.
Investigators felt it from outside but never actually looked inside, and brought it back to the city police station for a post-mortem examination, she said. Apparently no one doubted a human body was inside until a medical examiner unwrapped it and found a doll there, she said.
