Man Tried To Steal Deceased Person's Sex Doll

Ryan Smith was arrested and charged with burglary, impersonating a peace officer, criminal trespass and tampering with physical evidence. Smith, 42, was working for Mid-American First Call — which handles body transportation, embalming, cremation and other funeral-related services in Nebraska and parts of Iowa — when he was arrested in October 2023, according to court records obtained by The Post. There was a “very real life size version of an adult female” in the room with a deceased person that he was tasked with transporting, according to the affidavit. Smith later manipulated his way back onto the property in order to get into the residence of the deceased by claiming to work for the Sarpy County Sheriff’s Office. Smith planned to smuggle the sex doll out in a body bag, but property management intervened. When authorities arrived to examine the apartment a second time, they noticed that the bed had been rearranged and that a black survival case had been taken out of the closet, the arrest document stated. The sex doll, meanwhile, appeared to have been tampered with in the inner thigh area. It was “sticking to the touch,” and officers collected it for DNA processing.
