Finding fingers is
nothing. If you find an ear,
then the trouble starts!

A bizarre twist to the story of a finger found in a bowl of chili at a Wendy's. It happened a couple of weeks ago in San Jose. Now we hear that investigators got a search warrant for the Las Vegas home of the woman who found the finger. ABC7's Leslie Brinkley reports that this new twist may have something to do with the woman's dead aunt.
San Jose police confirmed today that they did go to Las Vegas and working with the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department, served a search warrant yesterday on a home on Coral Berry Street. They are investigating the possibility that the finger that was found in the bowl of chili in the Bay Area could belong to the deceased aunt of the woman who found the finger.
It was two weeks ago, on March 27th, that Ana Ayala found that one-and-half inch long portion of a human finger cooked into her portion of a bowl of Wendy's chili. It was determined to be a woman's finger with a manicured nail.
Forensic experts could find no match among 50 million fingerprints in the FBI database. DNA tests were conducted by the medical examiner's office. Wendy's workers were also investigated.
Now police are confirming this has turned into a criminal investigation.
Sgt. Nick Muyo, San Jose Police Dept.: "Las Vegas did assist us yesterday, I believe, in serving a search warrant down there. My understanding is that has been served and they have since cleared the scene. Our investigators have returned home, but we're not prepared to say anything at this point about what might or might not have been found."
We spoke with the Wendy's spokesperson from their headquarters in Ohio and they say it's a police matter and have heard nothing new. They would not comment further until there is more information.
Typing with 9 fingers this morning? If she'd been at an Italian restaurant, it would've been auntie-pasta.
It wasn't a plant! it was a finger! Geez, get your biology straight. Plant... finger... plant... finger.... /Emily Littella mode

My question
What other parts did the niece "harvest" and who was next on the hit list, Burger King????
That's partially true but not exact. Wendy's hb patties
are square because the rounded edges are trimmed
off at the processing plant and those edges are used for the chili.
I didn't fall for this at all. I couldn't believe that anybody would.
Do you watch 24?
fingerlickin' good. Hey, wait a sec...that's Kentucky Fried Chicken's motto not Wendy's. Never mind.
I thought this was something like that...as far as the origin of the finger.
Where'd you hear that? I worked at Wendy's for years. The chili is from burgers that are too dried out/too cooked to be served as burgers. Not burned meat, just well done.
I have no problem eating their chili. *shrugs* At least I know the meat is COOKED!
hahahah!
In 24, a mercenary working for the terrorists cuts off a thumb of a guard in order to make it through security. You see, the security operated on fingerprint scans.
Hello! My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die.
No.
Read #54 then.
Planned that way from Dave Thomas in the beginning. Wendy has
always claimed not to stockpile burgers, that the sandwich
is fresh. That doesn't leave many unused burgers for next days chili.
HOLY COW!! JOHN KERRY IS ABOUT TO SHOOT THE MARINE!!. Oh, wait, he's just pointing.
