SAN JOSE, Calif. — Police in California say they're checking out a possible lead in the case involving an allegedly contaminated bowl of Wendy's chili.
San Jose police are investigating the case of a woman who lost part of her finger in a leopard attack. The woman, who has several exotic animals, reportedly got the finger back in a bag of ice, after doctors couldn’t re-attach it. She lives in a town about 45 miles north of Las Vegas.
A month after that attack, a Las Vegas woman reported biting into a human finger while eating a bowl of Wendy’s chili. Today, the woman’s lawyer confirmed that she’s decided not to sue.
That word comes a day after an animal sanctuary employee called a Wendy’s hotline to suggest the finger might be linked to the February leopard attack.
Wendy’s has maintained the finger allegedly found in the chili had not been cooked, and that it didn’t enter the supply chain as part of its ingredients.

I suspect, if the link to the leopard attack is validated, that the con-artist complaintant had some link to the hospital maintenance department and arranged to get ahold of some medical waste. Very plausible. This woman has a history of making claims. Could it be she saw the finger and concocted this little scheme?

What I want to know is why the woman who lost the finger wanted it back after they couldn't reattach it. What was she going to do with it, have it stuffed and mounted?

I have no idea how they linked this finger to the Leopard attack.Maybe she has been keeping the finger in her freezer and it's missing. Maybe the huckster stole it. Maybe she bought the finger on Ebay... Who knows. It's better than the first allegation that the finger belonged to the huckster's own dead aunt.

The woman, who has several exotic animals, reportedly got the finger back in a bag of ice, after doctors couldn’t re-attach it. Mechanics do the same in my state with left over car parts.

Not yet. I didn't notice they were linked until after I posted. :-)

I have no idea how they linked this finger to the Leopard attack.
They're both fingers, right? I rest my case. But, on the other hand...
