Scarlett Doumato sent partially eaten cookies and carrots to the Cumberland Police Department and requested a DNA analysis to find out if Santa was real. They investigated, and the findings were revealed at a press conference Wednesday.
A young investigator from Cumberland submitted a letter requesting DNA analysis to be conducted on a partially eaten cookie and carrot remains she acquired on Christmas Day. Police in Rhode Island have settled the centuries-long debate once and for all: Is Santa Claus real?
"To answer your question Scarlett, yes, there is a Santa Claus, and that same spirit resides in you," Cumberland Police Chief Matthew J. Benson said. "I thank you for the joy you brought me, my staff, and this community. And for the millions across the world who believe in Santa Claus right along with you, they too say thank You."
But Benson said Wednesday his team learned that Scarlett was not the only child to publicly and famously inquire about the existence of Santa Claus. In 1897, 8-year-old Virginia O’Hanlon asked her dad if Santa Claus was real, and he directed her to their trusted asset to seek answers. Benson explained that investigators did not have the means to examine Virginia’s question as much as they could attempt today, but it further supported the current investigation.
