Eight families in San Clemente have been targeted in a disturbing pattern under investigation by authorities: porcelain dolls have been left at their homes resembling young girls who live there.
Some of the girls, all about 10 years old, attend the same elementary school, Orange County Sheriff’s Department Lt. Jeff Hallock said.
“Families in each of the homes where porcelain dolls were left voiced concern that the dolls resembled their daughters,” the Sheriff’s Department stated in a news release.
Up to 11 dolls were left in front of the girls’ homes, Hallock said. He initially said four dolls had been placed in front of homes, then revised that figure to eight and then 11.
The families all live in the same residential development, known as Talega.
The dolls, first reported on Tuesday, were taken into evidence and investigators were trying to determine what prompted someone to leave them. They weren’t being considered a crime, Hallock said.
“Is it a prank? Is there some specific motivation?” Hallock said. “Obviously, there’s an indication by some the parents that the dolls resemble their daughters. We’re talking about children here.
“Anything that has the potential to involve children causes us some concern.”
The dolls were being examined for clues as to their origin or who left them.
“Investigators are working with community members and the impacted families in an attempt to locate any possible connection between the homes where dolls were left,” the Sheriff’s Department news release stated.
Photos provided by Hallock showed two of the dolls — one in a blue dress and one in a pink dress. The latter doll was accompanied by a bunny wearing a pink bow and small white bunny slippers.
After the case gained attention on Thursday, the mother of a 5-year-old girl who lives in Talega told KTLA that the family had discovered wooden toys at the family’s front door two weeks ago.
The toys appeared to be figurines of three girls with interchangeable clothing. The mother, who did not want to be identified, contacted authorities on Thursday after becoming concerned about the dolls placed elsewhere in the community.
Anyone with information was asked to call the Sheriff’s Department’s South Investigations Unit at 949-361-8224 or 714-647-7000. Anonymous tipsters may call 855-847-6227 or go to occrimestoppers.org.
