A young Rhode Island girl has finally figured out how to determine if Santa Claus is real -- DNA.
The Cumberland resident sent a partially eaten cookie as well as a couple of gnawed-on carrot sticks to the town's police department to ask if they can be tested for DNA, Chief Matthew Benson said in a statement Friday.
"I took a sample of a cookie and carrots that I left for Santa and the raindeer on Christmas Eve and I was wondering if you could take a sample of DNA and see if Santa is real?" the girl wrote. Her name and age were not disclosed. Benson forwarded the "evidence" to the state's Department of Health-Forensic Sciences unit for analysis.
"Items to be examined for traces of DNA and compared with profiles on record for the above-named suspect/aliases," the department form says."This young lady obviously has a keen sense for truth and the investigative process and did a tremendous job packaging her evidence for submission. We will do our very best to provide answers for her," Benson said.
