Man's gruesome find inside alligator snapping turtle he wanted to eat
A Louisiana sheriff’s office is investigating the discovery of a human finger inside the body of an alligator snapping turtle.
The St. Tammany Parish Sheriff’s Office said in a news release a man called deputies on Monday after finding the finger inside a large turtle he was cleaning and processing for consumption.
Investigators used a dog to search the area where the turtle had been caught in a river.
The sheriff’s office says a crime lab and coroner’s office have not been able to get a fingerprint from the finger.
Investigators also contacted local hospitals, but they have not helped identify the finger’s owner.
