澳大利亚警方在悉尼西南部奥伦村附近发现一个装在行李箱中的物品,初步认定为人类遗体并宣布展开谋杀调查[1]。该地点距悉尼约230公里[1]。经法医检测,警方随后证实这一物品实际上是一个逼真的娃娃,随即撤销了调查[1]。
这个娃娃穿着衣服、留有头发,鼻子上有穿孔,身上还带有类似瘀伤和擦伤的标记,使其外观极为逼真[1]。休姆警区警长Linda Bradbury表示,"这些物品看起来非常逼真,像是人类遗骸",但已"通过其他手段确认它们不是人类"[1]。Bradbury对警方处理该案件的方式表示"没有遗憾",并称发现者做出了"正确的决定"[1]。
Police in Australia initially launched a murder investigation after discovering what appeared to be a human body inside a suitcase near Ollen Village, located approximately 230 kilometers southwest of Sydney [1]. The discovery prompted authorities to treat the matter as a potential homicide, but the status of the investigation changed dramatically within hours after forensic examination revealed the object was actually a realistic doll [1].
The doll was remarkably detailed, wearing clothing and featuring hair, a pierced nose, and markings that resembled bruising and abrasions [1]. Senior Sergeant Linda Bradbury acknowledged the confusion, stating that "these items looked extremely realistic, like human remains" but had been "confirmed through other means to not be human" [1]. Bradbury expressed no regret about how the case was handled, noting that the person who discovered the suitcase had made "the right decision" in reporting it [1].
