A dead body was found on property belonging to Carroll Spinney, the guy who plays TV's Big Bird. According to yahoo,

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 Spinney, who plays Oscar the Grouch in addition to Big Bird, was not a suspect in the crime.

Well that's reassuring. I would hate to see that big yellow bird in bound in handcuffs and being shoved into the back of a police car.
