Police in Australia were forced to admit they mistook a gruesomely lifelike doll for a dead woman and started to investigate a possible murder.
New South Wales Police issued a statement on Sunday saying that they had been called over reports that a “body had been located” stuffed inside a suitcase found by a dirt road in Oallen.
Bradbury explained that because it is good practice not to disturb a crime scene, officers did not immediately realize the body was not human.
Bradbury assured during a press conference that the doll was “very realistic in terms of looking like human remains.”
Bradbury had even previously told a local news station that what police believed was a human body was found in a “state of decomposition”.
