At first I thought this was a parody. It’s not. A dead woman was found on the property of the person who plays Big Bird on “Sesame Street”:

Social worker Judith Nilan was reported missing by her husband Monday after she failed to return from a run. On Tuesday, police discovered her body in a shed on Spinney’s property and proceeded to charge the actor’s caretaker, Scott Deojay, with kidnapping….

Police said the caretaker claimed he hit the woman with his car accidentally, then panicked. He claimed to have dragged her into his car, driven her to Spinney’s property, tied her up in order to pull her into the shed, where he deposited her body.

Tragic.

I didn’t know Big Bird was a woman. [My bad! Carroll Spinney is a man. A married man.] I always thought the Bird was played by an effeminate man. Every day, there are new things to learn. Interesting…
