MatcomNews Update: NO Link Between Leopard Attack, Finger In Chili

<snip>

LAS VEGAS -- Authorities investigating the origin of a finger found in a California bowl of fast-food chili said Thursday they have uncovered no link to a Nevada leopard attack that cost a woman part of her index finger.

This black and white photo, released by the Santa Clara County Department of Environmental Health, shows a portion of a human finger that a woman says she found while eating a bowl of chili at Wendys Restaurant.

Nye County Sheriff Tony DeMeo said the chance of any connection is "diminishing." San Jose, Calif., Police Sgt. Nick Muyo said investigators there were also skeptical.

Sandy Allman, 59, lost a 3/4-inch fingertip Feb. 23 in the attack by a spotted leopard being kept at her home in rural Pahrump, about 60 miles west of Las Vegas.

Las Vegas resident Anna Ayala claimed she found a 1 1/2-inch fingertip on March 22 while eating at a Wendy's in San Jose.

"Obviously, if we have more of a finger than she lost, you might look at that on face value and say it's probably not the same," Muyo said Thursday.
