I am glad the report did not say, police did an autopsy and after rigorous DNA testing, found out that the body was made of polysynthetic material. Police are still puzzled and looking for a clue

Normally at the scene of a body, the forensics experts photograph all the surrounding area. Once they have all that they need, then the lead detective gives them the ok to move the body to at least do a preliminary inspection. I would imagine that in this case it would be to open the bag. You would not want to be carrying a bomb or some other device into your crime lab.

I wonder how many police it took to bring the "dummy" in? Will the supervising police officer get promoted or fired?

Not wanting to contaminate a crime scene is one thing, but how about making sure the "body" actually was a body and not a person who was still alive?

How many police did it take to bring the "dummy" in ? Sounds like a good joke... someone want to provide the punchline?

Mainichi stopped their WaiWai column because it reflected badly on Japan to the rest of the world. Is everyone aware that this story has hit all the news websites around the world. (Well, at least Yahoo and CNN)?

Alphaape,

Forensics experts? They have them in Japan, home of the confession?

Later several of the Police officers were allowed to leave with the doll for a few minutes of "private time," alone with the doll.

I heard that they only found out it was a doll because it didn't confess after being beaten for 3 weeks

I'm sure they only found out after thoroughly investigating and probing the orifices that it was a dummy. "Hey this feels just like my wife." "But you are not married." "I mean my ... imaginary wife...the dummy."

Altria,

To be honest, sometimes there's not a lot of difference.

Hell Son, you just made ice tea come out of my nose ("Son" reference in homage of Jerry Reed's death. RIP Snowman)!

That one's going to be tough to top.

Based on the look of her face, initial reports believe she died of shock.

(my best effort....Son).

Maybe the owner realized it wouldn't fit in a 燃えないゴミ bag

I wonder if they checked the doll for bodily fluids?
