According to a probable cause affidavit, deputies with the Sarpy County Sheriff’s Office on Oct. 6, 2023, responded to a call about a deceased adult male at an apartment complex located in the 14000 block of Giles Road in Omaha, Nebraska. A detective on the scene called a local funeral home which normally transports dead bodies to the morgue for autopsy. The funeral home sent two employees, one of whom was Smith, the document states.

Investigators took photographs of the body and the room in which he was found dead before Smith and the other employee took the body away.

“Near the body on the bed was a very real life-size version of an adult female,” the detective wrote in the affidavit. “Both of the males that came to collect the body made comments about the sex doll found on location.”

Police then secured the dead man’s apartment and left the scene.

...

Someone on the managerial staff let Smith — who had brought a body bag with him — back into the apartment to collect the “sex doll” for “evidentiary purposes.”

A short while later, a different apartment manager found that the deceased man’s apartment was deadbolted and latched with a chain across the door. The manager opened the door and said she found Smith inside and that his “shirt was untucked and his pants were in disarray,” per the affidavit.

...

Investigators returned to the scene and said several things in the dead man’s apartment had been moved around since they had left, specifically noting that “the bed had been rearranged” and a black survival case was on the bed.

The sex doll also appeared to have been “altered,” police said.

“The sex doll appeared to have been altered near her thigh area as she has dust on her and bedding,” the affidavit states. “It appears that something had rubbed her inner thighs. She was also sticky to the touch with gloves on.”

Authorities then really did take the sex doll into evidence so it could be processed for DNA.
