A heroic police officer’s daring rescue of what seemed to be a baby trapped in a sweltering car takes an astonishing turn when the truth is unveiled.
A New Hampshire police officer faced a peculiar situation. Upon discovering what appeared to be a baby trapped in a sweltering car, the officer sprang into action. Smashing the vehicle’s window, he quickly moved to rescue the seemingly distressed infant, only to find that it was, in fact, an incredibly realistic doll.
The distressing call came in late July 2022, reporting a baby locked inside a hot car at a Walmart parking lot. Keene police Lt. Jason Short, aware of the scorching heat, wasted no time in rushing to the scene to save the child. On July 23, tragedy seemed imminent.
Upon spotting the infant covered with a blanket in the car, Lt. Short recognized the rapidly increasing danger due to soaring temperatures. Without hesitation, he shattered the window and reached in to unlock the door, hoping to prevent a tragic loss of life.
As he held the baby, a horrifying thought crossed Lt. Short’s mind: it might be too late. He promptly began performing CPR on the seemingly lifeless infant. However, despite his efforts, the baby’s lungs failed to inflate. It was then that he made the shocking realization that he hadn’t saved a human child at all, but rather, a lifelike doll.
Stunned by this unexpected twist, Lt. Short promptly called off the ambulance. He couldn’t believe that what he thought was a baby was actually a remarkably lifelike doll, resembling a small child in every way.
Determined to find the doll’s owner, Lt. Short began his search. His investigation led him to Carolynne Seiffert, who was getting a haircut at a salon near Walmart. Seiffert, who was at Super Cuts during the incident, informed the officer that the doll was specifically designed to look as lifelike as possible.
The uncanny resemblance had fooled even Lt. Short. The doll felt just like a real baby when he held it after breaking the window and removing it from beneath the blanket. Seiffert had only recently purchased the doll, named Ainslie, from a doll nursery for a staggering $2,300.
Ainslie was a reborn doll, handcrafted from silicone to achieve the utmost realism. Seiffert, an avid collector of these lifelike dolls, had several at her New Hampshire home.
In an effort to prevent future confusion and potential damage to her property, Seiffert has devised a solution. She has created a sticker for her car which reads, “Reborn dolls. Not real babies. Do not break windows!” This heartwarming and strange story highlights the remarkable craftsmanship of these reborn dolls and the lengths to which people will go to protect what they believe to be innocent lives.
