Iowa Deputies Seek Serial Vomit Dumper

Iowa Deputies Trying Top Find the Person Who Keeps Dumping Bags of Human Vomit in Ditches

MOUNT PLEASANT, Iowa - Sheriff’s deputies in Henry County are stuck in the middle of a less than appetizing investigation. Investigators are trying to find the person who has dumped bags of what appears to be human vomit in ditches in a 1 1/2-mile area northeast of the city.

Deputy Dan Wesley said as many as 50 garbage and trash bags containing regurgitated food has been dumped over the past three years.

Bags, ranging in size from small white trash bags to large black lawn bags, have been found with only a couple of inches of the substance in them, Wesley said.

“It’s pretty weird,” he said. “It’s pretty unusual for us … we haven’t worked anything like this before.”

Coincidentally, our own Dan Savage landed in Iowa this very morning for a speaking engagement.

Dan has really let his hair grow.

Probably some poor bulimic person

I had no idea Dan played the drums. What will we find out next - that he favors maxi skirts?
