Woman found mostly naked in California claims to be mermaid

FRESNO COUNTY, Calif. -- A woman was found near Table Mountain, California on Tuesday morning, and she doesn’t seem to know who she is, the Fresno Police Department said.

“She was wet, she said she had been in the lake, said she needed help and needed to be taken to the hospital,” said Fresno Police.

The woman was found about 3:15 a.m. walking in the middle of the street.

When she was found, her hair was wet, and she was mostly naked. She told officers she had been in the water.

She answers, “I don’t know” to most questions, police said. She has claimed to be a mermaid named “Joanna.”

“We did go through records after fingerprinting her and we still did not come up with her identity,” said Hudson.

She is 5-foot-4, weighs 150 pounds and has webbed feet.

“There are some strange things that happen up here,” said neighbor Karon Renwick. “We’re in the mountains.”

Cross-eyed, mild mustache. Well, you can’t judge a book by its cover.

What a dilemma this presents for the California libs! If this woman is self-identifying as a mermaid, then attempts to fully clothe her are hateful, intolerant acts of aggression against her!

Given several indications of inbreeding and not knowing who she is other than a mermaid named Joanna, I’m beginning to wonder if the story isn’t weirder than one might think at first glance. Maybe that’s what she’s been told she is all her life.

I’m thinking that mermaid-ism goes pretty far past webbed-feet!

Must be a MINO — do I have to explain that acronym to any FReepers? Didn’t think so...

Oh she’s not that bad. Could be kinda cute if made up. But I wanted to see pics of her feet. I could always convert my pool to a salt water pool if it would help out.

I’d take it to mean that she was very lightly attired and not all of her naughty bits were covered.

They could tell Johanna isn’t the mermaid in your picture because Johanna has 10 fingers!

Throw her in the water, if her legs magically fuses into a dolphin tail, she might be telling the truth.
Otherwise, I'd start checking her for mental and drug problems.
