City police respond to 'doppelganger' call

By Stan Mitchell

JONESBORO -- Have clones of a Jonesboro family assumed the identities of a murdered father, mother, son and daughter?

How would anyone know?

A female caller to Craighead County E-911 Center early Wednesday morning claimed that four members of the Henry L. Turner family, 3617 Wood Springs Road, had suffered that unusual fate.

According to a report filed with the Jonesboro Police Department, the caller identified herself to dispatchers when she made the call to the E-911 Center at 4 a.m. Wednesday, claiming that the family had been cloned, killed and buried behind a shed at 3327 Wood Springs Road. Turner is former owner of Premier Video.


The story is long, but it is a riot. I like the closing line:

When asked how local authorities might determine whether a person had been cloned, McDaniel declined to comment.


Of course, all the police have done is go see if the family is ok, but if they really were clones that wouldn't be good enough, now would it?

While it is funny, it's kinda disturbing that some nutcase has fixated on this family like that. Calling to tell them their kid is missing? Calling the cops on them? This is not good.

A few years ago, in this same city, someone killed a neighbors dog, barbequed it, and ate it. Jonesboro doesn't have a reputation for good things lately.

Meth is a big problem all over the state. I'm sure Jonesboro is no exception.

Nothing like a subculture built on neural stir fry to get your really colorfully violent characters milling about.

I suppose it's a good thing the call came before she decided to kill them and bury them in the back yard.

I know this "spoils" the thread, but actually clones don't look alike. I'm no expert but my recollection is that it has to do with womb chemistry (even if cloning technology were, indeed, old enough that the adults could have been cloned and grown up to the appropirate age).

The guilty dog barks first. Tell it to the police.
