Police said a woman paid $11,000 to Ayala toward the purchase of a mobile home. The home was owned by Ayala's live-in boyfriend, and days after the woman moved in she was told to move out because the home loan was in default, a police report said.
Ayala since had moved to Las Vegas and refused to return the woman's money, the report said.
SAN JOSE, Calif.-- High-tech testing and old-fashioned police work convinced San Jose police that a Las Vegas woman who claimed to have found a finger in her Wendy's chili was full of beans.

Andy Diaz, a 66-year-old San Jose City Council candidate, claims he was at the Wendy's during the incident.
He said he saw a woman enter the restroom with a bowl of chili. When she returned to her table, she screamed that a finger was in her food. She and her friends held their stomachs and ran outside.
"She walked out like she was going to puke, but she was faking," Diaz said.

So where did the finger come from?
The woman is a nutcase and a fraud but we can't leave an unidentified finger to be unburied, can we???
I found a finger in my backyard a few years back. (I have dogs). I gave it back to them (the dogs). People here avoid mmy yard.
I read elsewhere that the cops think the finger was fabricated. Sure looked real in the photo but if they can fabricate a nose for Michael Jackson, I'm sure they can fabricate a finger.
she deserves a lot of punishment for this fraud
I read one story where they were trying to match fingerprints from it; wonder if that was B.S.?
Hey Sam, do you have a link to that photo of the finger?
The article says she was with relatives and they confirmed her story to the police. They need to be charged with filing a false police report and conspiracy as well. They need to be nailed with lots of media coverage to discourage copycat frauds.
So there may not be a real finger? Weird story.
Shouldn't the lawyer who was going to help her sue also be held responsible for a fraudulent suit?
Certainly if he/she was an ethical attorney (if there is such a person) they would have checked out the plaintiff's character so as not to file a false/fraudulent lawsuit. I'm sure no attorney would want to receive a windfall under false pretenses. /sarcasm>
"I'm in the septic and sanitation business, so I have a high tolerance for yuck."
OK now I'm going to be sick.
Man some people have WAY too much time on their hands. I admit I'm a closet Trekkie, but I can't imagine going frame by frame looking for Scottie's missing finger.
"It's a big yuck factor, but it didn't stop me from eating it," he said as he scraped the bottom of his bowl with a plastic spoon.
"I'm in the septic and sanitation business, so I have a high tolerance for yuck."
From the link. I suppose a fellow that cleans septic tanks wouldn't even have a problem with McDonald's.
It seems that when things get tough you find out who your friends are. The regular customers of Wendy's really don't seem to give a darn about the people who work there, otherwise they wouldn't of stayed away.
