The search is on in Colorado Springs for a mystery woman dubbed "The Mad Pooper". Neighbors say they are fed up with a woman who runs in their neighborhood, poops outside in broad daylight, and then runs off.

Cathy Budde says her children caught the woman mid-squat with her pants down. "They came screaming, like, you're not going to believe this they are like crying. I'm like what? 'They are like there's a lady taking a poop! and so I come outside, and I'm like oh dear goodness! I was like ' are you serious?" Budde recalled. "Are you really taking a poop right here in front of my kids!? she's like yeah, sorry!"

"I thought for sure she's mortified. It was an accident," said Budde. "She will go get a dog bag come back clean it up and never run here ever again. Not the case."

The family says the runner continue to poop and run off. Budde says the 'Mad Pooper" has done this for the past seven weeks and she just wants it to stop. Neighbors say the mysterious runner even carries napkins in her pocket.

Colorado Springs Police want to catch the woman. Officers asked Budde to take pictures of her so they can try to identify her. Police say the runner could be charged with indecent exposure and public defecation.

"It's just not a natural thing we would do in our society to drop your trousers and relieve yourself right there when you know that there are people around especially," said Mark Odette who was visiting a nearby park.

Budde says there are plenty of public restrooms in the area. She does not know why the woman continues to poop and run, but believes it is intentional.

If you can help identify this woman, you can get in touch with the Falcon division of the Colorado Springs Police Department at 719-444-7240.
