Kelly the skeleton was displayed on a hedge with her sister Shelley but went missing at Halloween

  • Published

The search is on for a "much-loved" skeleton stolen from a Halloween display.

"Kelly the skeleton" was displayed on a hedge in Milton, near Cambridge, with her "sister Shelley" but disappeared on 31 October - Halloween.

Owner of the bony pair, Rad Sharma, appealed for Kelly's return and even offered a reward of "Skittles and Sour Patch Kids for anyone who can help reunite us", but so far there has been no sign of her.

The skeletons were cable-tied to the hedge and displayed with plastic cocktail glasses and Ms Sharma added: "There's a good chance she just had one too many margaritas and is now waking up confused and disoriented."

Offering the sweet treats as a reward, Ms Sharma appealed for the skeleton's return on a local Facebook group.

"Kelly has left behind her devastated sister (Shelly) and hordes of local fans," she wrote.

"While I completely appreciate the appeal — she's fabulous and brings great vibes to any room — her loss is keenly felt.

"Since Halloween is over anyway, might I ask that she be assisted in making her way home?"

A week after she disappeared, however, there have still been no sightings of the ghoulish wanderer.
