The human finger found in a bowl of chili at a San Jose Wendy's might not have been cooked with the chili and could have been snuck in later in the preparation process, Santa Clara County officials said Friday.
"We're still going to have to sit down with our crime lab experts and see if there's a test that can determine that," said Bob Dixon, a sheriff's office captain who is assigned to the coroner's office.
Working with ingredients shipped to the San Jose Wendy's, employees normally assemble ground hamburger meat with canned sauce, seasoning and beans, plus chopped frozen celery, onions and green peppers, then cook the whole mix for four to six hours.
"The possibilities are still all out there on where and when it came into the chili," said Dr. Martin Fenstersheib, Santa Clara County's health officer

Do we have another Dahlmer working at a Wendy's?
Sounds like a scam.
