COLUMBUS, Ohio (WCMH) — Columbus police have concluded an investigation after a woman posted on TikTok that she may have discovered a body buried in her yard. 

An account for Katie Santry started her story with a video posted five days ago showing her and her family finding a rug buried in the yard of their east Columbus home.  

Police responded to her claims and wrapped up their investigation — which included K-9 units and an excavation — on Friday afternoon. According to Columbus police, they collected pieces of a rug buried in the yard.

“The pieces all tested negative for human or animal remains and, at this time, there are no plans for further testing,” police said.

Over the course of multiple posts in that time, Santry detailed her first phone call to police and two officers who came out to investigate, with the officers declining at that time to investigate the matter any further.

In a video posted on Thursday afternoon, Santry said Columbus homicide detectives called her house, saying they would be sending out investigators with cadaver dogs. 

In a video posted Thursday night, Santry said two different cadaver dogs on two separate attempts “sat” at the hole. She shared a video showing the dogs sit near the hole, and a spokesperson for the Columbus Division of Police confirmed detectives and cadaver dogs were at Santry’s home investigating Thursday.

“The entire world was telling me to have the police come,” Santry said. “When I called the police and asked them, ‘Hey. Do you want to come to my house to look at a rug.’ I felt insane.”

As police investigated on Friday, neighbors watched on curiously. Gregory Napier has lived in the neighborhood for 20 years and said the event was highly unusual. He added that people were coming from all over the city, and said the neighborhood did not appreciate that much in-person attention.

“It’s disturbing and alarming, because it caught me by surprise,” Napier said. “Like here we are, all of a sudden, now we got all these news people out here, police officers, cadaver dogs. We’re usually quiet.”

Santry’s videos on the buried rug saga have racked up millions of views.
