Local seamstress Geraldine Hull (71) is currently being detained in Fairfield County Prison. Hull was arrested after a customer brought a jacket to the local sheriff's department with a piece of skin sewn within the jacket pocket. The customer said he only noticed the small piece of flesh after realizing his pocket was damp with what resembled blood. Forensics have confirmed that the skin in question is human.
After news of Hull's arrest became public, as many as fourteen different customers have come forward revealing patches of an object resembling skin found within the pockets of their clothing.
An inside source also reported that upon arrest, Hull’s forearms and thighs were covered in newly formed lacerations. Forensics are determining if the pieces of flesh belong to the seamstress.
Hull's shop, The Stitched Soul, which has been open for nearly 30 years, has been temporarily shut down pending the results of the current investigation.
