Big Bird’s run-in with a dead jogger
![]()
Sesame Street has been hit by a crime wave.The body of a female jogger was found Tuesday on property belonging to actor Carroll Spinney, who plays Big Bird on the long-running children’s series.
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.[…]
Investigators linked Deojay to Nilan’s death after discovering the jogger’s headband near a bloody receipt signed by the caretaker after purchasing items for Spinney.
There were skid marks near the headband and a bloody trail led to the shed, where Nilan’s body was found tied up, her jogging pants pulled down and her head bloody where she appeared to have been beaten.
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.
Sounds like a case that needs to be filed under: “What-A-Psycho?”.
