Police are investigating several jars of human remains found Monday underneath a Florida woman’s house.
The Gainesville Police Department said Mary Baughman had a contractor out to give her a quote on work she wanted to be done on her house, but when he went to look for damage underneath the house, he found gallon-sized plastic jars of human tongues, according to the Tampa Bay Times.
The labels on the jars were dated back to the late 1960s.
Alarmed by what he saw, the contractor immediately called the police, according to chief inspector Jorge Campos.
Although the jars had been long forgotten about, things were not as sinister as they seemed.
The jars were specimens from a research project on thyroid and neck conditions that Baughman’s ex-husband had conducted.
Mary Baughman’s ex-husband, Dr. Ronald Baughman, was a world-renowned pathologist, researcher and University of Florida professor emeritus, WCJB-TV reported.
The tongues had come from research Dr. Baughman conducted in his early career and he stored them in the crawlspace underneath the house for when he had time to get back to them.
“He decided to put them in there because it was a cool place to put them,” Campos told the Tampa Bay Times. “Cool as in temperature.”

There was an “All In the Family” episode where Edith told Meathead that she had tried to give Archie a cold tongue sandwich for lunch, but that he told her he wasn’t going to eat anything that came from the mouth of a cow. When Meathead asked her what she had given him instead, she replied, “A couple of hard-boiled eggs.”
