Colorado Springs' "Mad Pooper" gets a TLC documentary

• Who was she?

Driving the news: The documentary about the unidentified jogger accused of repeatedly defecating outside Colorado Springs homes pairs news footage with residents' recollections and interviews from former law enforcement officials, TLC announced this week.

• The network promises fresh leads and competing explanations for the behavior — but its announcement stops short of declaring the mystery solved.

Flashback: In September 2017, resident Cathy Budde told KKTV that a runner had been leaving human waste outside her home about once a week for seven weeks.

• Budde said her children first spotted the woman. A confrontation and a sign pleading with her to stop failed, despite nearby public restrooms.
• The absurdity escalated, and Charmin, yes, the popular brand of two-ply toilet paper, offered the woman a year's supply if she turned herself in.
• By November 2017, the action stopped without an arrest.

How to watch: The two-hour special airs Nov. 19 on TLC, with streaming available Nov. 20 on HBO Max and Discovery Plus.
