A mother from New York just shared a horror story of Christmas on Facebook and it reveals how she accidentally bought a cocaine-filled doll for her daughter’s Christmas present and how it ended up opening an international drug trial.

Elizabeth Faidley, a mother from New York, shared a story on Facebook earlier this week and it tells a story that happened in 2015.

Elizabeth said Ellie, her daughter, wanted a “merbaby”, which is a mermaid’s baby, for Christmas at the time of the incident.

Elizabeth went to Etsy to buy a mermaid baby doll, which she did find, and bought it for Ellie, her daughter.

When Elizabeth gave the doll to Ellie, the kid found the doll to be disgusting and went away from the toy as she shook her head.

Elizabeth said she was devastated by the failure and went on to make the doll look prettier by dying its hair from green to blonde and do other final touches.

Elizabeth discovered a place in New Jersey called “Doll and Teddy Bear Hospital” and sent the mermaid baby doll to get it fixed.

The mother placed Pearl, the mermaid baby doll, in a box and sent it to the doll hospital.

In the post she made on Facebook, Elizabeth said, “I tell Ellie that Pearl is going off to the hospital to have her face and hair ‘adjusted.’ Ellie wisely informs me that ‘Pearl has even greater problems than those.’ Then, she proceeds write on the box, ‘Please, please, help this doll. She has so many problems,’”

As Elizabeth was waiting for the doll to be fixed a detective with the Secaucus Police Department called her.

The detective reportedly told her that 2 ounces of Cocaine were found stuffed in the head of the doll.

The cocaine was found as the hospital removed the head of the doll to repaint her offensive skin.

Elizabeth explained what happened, she said, “In what is probably the strangest conversation of my life, the detective asked me what was ‘up’ with Pearl. Did a weird uncle put drugs in Pearl’s head 30 years ago and then I inherited Pearl?”

She added, “I explained what Ellie wanted for Christmas, how I found Pearl on ETSY, and why I shipped her off to the [doll hospital]. The detective then said, ‘You spent money on this doll? Have you ever heard of Ariel? She is a pretty mermaid. You can buy her at any Disney store.’”

The police investigated Elizabeth and her family after ruling them as suspects.

Pearl, the mermaid doll, had to be kept by investigators to be used as evidence in an international drug trial.

While concluding her post on Facebook, Elizabeth said, “Everything we do for our children….we try to get the best Christmas gift and accidentally buy a mermaby stuffed with cocaine and become embroiled in an international drug smuggling ring,”

She added, “I hope all of your holidays, Christmases, New Years, are exactly what you planned. And are mermaid-and-drug-free. And if cocaine accidentally shows up under your tree, know that I understand and that you tried your best.”
