The following is an excerpt from a conversation with a Japanese police official:
Q: What do you do when you find a sleeping bag in the woods?
A: Generally, we assume that a murdered human being is inside of it. Or at least dead. Not necessarily murdered, but certainly dead.
Q: I see. And at what point to do you confirm your suspicion?
A: That most often happens during the autopsy. Doctors are very good at recognizing actual human remains.
Japan police fooled by life-sized doll
TOKYO (AP) — Police were trying to determine Tuesday whether they were the victim of a hoax after the body they thought they found at a seaside resort was actually a life-sized doll.
Investigators found what seemed like a body wrapped in a sleeping bag in a forest in Izu City, a seaside resort in central Japan, after an anonymous caller reported seeing it, a Shizuoka prefecture spokeswoman said on condition of anonymity, citing department policy.
Investigators never actually looked inside the sleeping bag and brought it back to the city police station for a post-mortem examination, the spokeswoman said. Apparently no one doubted a human body was inside until a medical examiner unwrapped it and found the doll, she said.
The Asahi newspaper said the doll was sophisticated and life-sized and wore a brown wig, a blouse and a skirt.
Here are some photos of Izu, which is quite beautiful. Yet in these majesterial woods, a very dark deed has taken place. . .

Are these young women, seemingly happy vacationers, actually killers?
