Woman Found Dead On 'Big Bird' Actor's Property

DANIELSON, Conn. -- This is not "Sesame Street" material.

A woman's body has been found on property in Connecticut owned by the man who plays Big Bird and Oscar the Grouch on "Sesame Street," Caroll Spinney.

Police said Spinney had nothing to do with this.

Instead, Scott Deojay, the man who takes care of Spinney's property, is being charged with kidnapping and could face more charges linked to the woman's death when the investigati on is complete.

The suspect in the death of the woman, who was jogging , said he accidentally hit her with his car.

But according to an arrest warrant affidavit, the victim was tied up and appeared to have been beaten about the head.

Judith Nilan, 44, disappeared Monday while out for her regular afternoon jog.

Deojay was in a Connecticut Superior Courtroom Wednesday to face the kidnapping charge and was ordered held on a $500,000 bond.

Deojay is due back in court Friday.

In the meantime, authorities in Connecticut and Massachusetts will try to figure out who has jurisdiction in the case.

Nilan's body was found in a shed on the Massachusetts border.
