NORWALK, OH (WOIO) -
A bizarre case out of Huron County has detectives looking for the person who belonged to a heart discovered in a field on Milan Avenue in Norwalk.
All the Norwalk police department has right now is a heart in a Ziploc bag. They're hoping to determine if it's human, and where it came from.
"This is pretty unusual. We have no idea where it came from," said Sgt. Jim Fulton, with Norwalk Police Department.
In late August, a North Central EMS crew idling at the Friendship Store on Milan Avenue came across the heart. Fulton said the heart was in good condition and had only just started to decompose. He says there's no indication it was part of a violent crime.
"I talked to the Lucas County Coroner and she seemed to think that it hadn't been in that field very long. It could have possibly been frozen prior to that," said Fulton.
Initially, the paramedic who discovered it, actually put it in the dumpster nearby but was later instructed to retrieve it for an investigation.
Fulton says they don't even know if a crime has been committed here.
"We don't have a body that we're missing a heart from. So I guess it's an unusual occurrence, is what you would say. It's what's listed on our report. We hope to be able to classify it as something else and close this out," he said.
A coroner is testing the fluid from the heart to see if there any preservatives. And a veterinarian is trying to rule out if the heart came from an animal, like a pig, which has a heart similar to a human.
"It could have come from a funeral home, an autopsy. There's endless possibilities," Fulton said.
Investigators are hoping to get some information from the public by getting the story out that will help determine where this mystery heart came from.
Possible perps..................
Get it to Hillary! Quick!
It’s Hillary’s heart. They finally located it.
Are they sure it is human?
Our illustrious once found something at a car wash they thought was a human penis.
After weeks of investigation, many news stories and much speculation, DNA results came back and it was a COW TEAT.
A snake in my back yard might be pretty unusual....but a heart in a baggie??
Look for the person walking down the street with a knife in their hand singing “You’ve Gotta Have Heart”.
I saw on FR that the Catholics have the actual preserved heart of some dead saint that they worship and that it’s being taken on a tour of the US.
Doubt they’d store it I a ziplock bag though.
I = in
I doubt they’d store it in a Ziplock bag though.
D*mn, beat me to it. Oh well, we all know that was the thought that occurred to the majority of us.
Well, here's a clue -- If you do find a body that's missing a heart, it'll just be lying there.
Probably belongs to a devoted athlete who played his heart out.
Yeah, that happened to me once. Something in the drink and I woke up the next morning in a tub of ice with one of my hearts missing. I hate it when that happens.
It’s little....It’s a bait bag...
Cool bacon wrap the bad boy and get it to me
It probably is not, but that still does not exclude the possibility that it is Hillary's missing heart.
Seriously? a heart-—— every animal has one, Norwalk is in an agricultural state, hell, there are even lots of Amish about. They will probably discover it belonged to a goat, or a pig, or a beef———————— but let’s all get excited. We get our own beef processed, the heart, liver, etc. I chop up for super nutritious dog food. Maybe the dog took it out to bury it for a while.....
Has anyone questioned Tony Bennett? Oh, wait...wrong city.
This broken heart will never love again
Because I don’t want it to
You came along and showed me
I was wrong
To think that I could never love you
Every time I run away
I know you’ll always stay
This broken heart will wear the pain she bore
With you my heart won’t break anymore
