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 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.
