LAW ENFORCEMENT
Published Dec. 3, 2018
• Police officers in Richardson Forest Preserve, near Cincinnati, thought they had come across a body in a plastic trash bag dumped in the woods on Oct. 4. Instead, they found "Mandi," a life-size female sex doll, according to Metro News. Residents from the area have erected a shrine in the doll's memory, leaving flowers and candles along with messages, such as, "Mandi, you were taken too soon. We will remember you fondly. RIP." The doll is thought to be an expensive, high-end model, which makes the mystery of its disposal even more perplexing. [Metro News, 10/7/2018]

Don’t Let Mueller’s Report Go Unanswered

Special counsel Robert Mueller is likely to wrap up his investigation soon and issue a confidential report to the attorney general.
