Georgia 'body' discovery in forest turns out to be life-sized doll, sheriff's department says
The department said it was relieved it just turned out to be a case of littering
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Sheriff’s deputies in Georgia were surprised to learn last week that what was reported to be a woman’s body found along a hiking trail was actually a "life-sized doll, complete with accessories."
The doll, dubbed Selena, was seen in the Hitchiti National Forest and was reported to authorities last Thursday but responding deputies quickly realized it was just a case of littering, not homicide, the Jones County Sheriff’s Office said.
"The victim, now named Selena, is a little under the weather, but she has been having a nice day and is expected a make a full recovery," the department joked on its Facebook page.

The doll as it looked when deputies found it.
"In all seriousness, thank God for small blessings in that this just turned out to be a case of littering. 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."
