Murder Most Fowl

Woman's body discovered on ‘Sesame Street’ actor Carroll Spinney’s Connecticut property

"A man charged with kidnapping a jogger told investigators he accidentally hit her with his car and only tied her up because he was trying to hide the body, which was found in a shed owned by a “Sesame Street” performer, authorities said Wednesday.

Scott Deojay, 36, was arrested Tuesday and charged with kidnapping. He appeared in court briefly Wednesday and was ordered held on $500,000 bail.

Deojay is a handyman who had done work on the Woodstock property of Caroll Spinney, who plays Big Bird and Oscar the Grouch on the long-running children’s public television show "Sesame Street." Police said Spinney had nothing to do with the crime."
