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.”

Who is Prolly?
Mick Jagger’s new rock group, with George Harrison, the remaining four Jacksons, and Donny Osmond. The Rolling Gallstones, performing every day at the Tamarac Century Village Clubhouse, until security chases them away again.
Could almost be viewed as the transcript of the last debate...
Who is Prolly?
Oh, sorry. I was posting in my Asian accent.
LOL!
Oops. I didn’t even know he was sick.
Mick Jagger’s still alive. You mean Harrison. Damn. I thought it was McCartney who croaked.
Darn! I thought they had finally gotten rid of Jar Jar Bings!
Imagine you are the contractor. You discover the jars, and then hear the sub-floor access being shut.
Every home owner should scan their sub-floor area at least once a year - for leaks, for rats, bugs, termites.
In who's world is that statement remotely acceptable?
