Search for missing ‘body' in river turns up life-size sex doll
A three-hour search for a missing body in an Idaho river ended with authorities pulling out a life-size silicon sex doll. The frantic effort to recover a human body from Blackfoot River began on Thursday morning after someone reported seeing one floating roughly 16 miles northeast of Soda Springs, according to Caribou County Sheriff Adam Mabey. Deputies deployed drones and divers went into the water around 12.30pm when they spotted the 'body'. 'When my team went in and pulled it out of the water, that's when they realized it was just a real life-size companion doll,' Mabey told East Idaho News on Saturday. The search crew took photos of the female doll but did not release them. It appeared to have been in the river for some time, Mabey said. The person responsible for putting the doll in the water would face littering charges. But the sheriff doubts they will be able to find out who did it. Despite putting resources into the false alarm situation, Mabey does not regret their response. 'Rather go all out and make sure we did everything properly at a scene,' he told the news outlet, 'Than to rush in and do something and find out we should've done something more.' The sheriff added that 'this whole story has generated a lot of jokes and stories and really interesting Facebook comments'. 'I was hoping it'd blow over and no one would ever hear about it,' Maybe said. 'But I can also see it's an interesting story.' The weird incident happened just over a year after a funeral worker allegedly tried to smuggle a life-size sex doll out of a dead man's home in a body bag. The worker and his colleague went to the Rock Creek Apartments in Omaha, Nebraska, to collect the corpse and found 'a very real life size version of an adult female' next to a bed, according to a Sarpy County Sheriff's deputy. Later that day in June 2024, the worker apparently returned later with a bag and said he came on behalf of the sheriff's office to recover the 'sex doll' for 'evidentiary purposes'. He was charged with burglary, tampering with physical evidence and criminal trespassing. Get in touch with our news team by emailing us at webnews@ For more stories like this, check our news page.
