And having writ...

They found the owner of the Wendy's Finger. Reuters has the story:
Calif. police find hand that lost Wendy's finger
The finger a Nevada woman claimed to have found in a bowl of fast-food chili came from a male acquaintance of her husband who lost it in an industrial accident, police said on Friday. Police arrested Anna Ayala of Las Vegas last month on charges her false claim had cost restaurant chain Wendy's International Inc. millions of dollars in lost sales, but the origin of the partial human finger at the center of the case had remained a mystery.

"The jig is up," San Jose Police Chief Rob Davis told a news conference. "The puzzle pieces are beginning to fall into place."

He said the acquaintance of Ayala's husband, who lives in Nevada and was cooperating with authorities, lost the finger in an industrial accident in December and provided it to Ayala's husband.
I am very surprised that she thought she could get away with this. Wendy's has a strong case as their losses can be tracked to the timeline of this story. Hope you enjoy prison food Anna... Posted by DaveH at May 13, 2005 9:54 PM
