Anna Ayala you’ve been found out. The police have determined that the finger was given to Ayala’s husband by the man who lost the finger in an industrial related accident.

The finger that a woman said she found in a bowl of Wendy’s chili came from an associate of her husband who lost the digit in an industrial accident, police said Friday.

“The jig is up. The puzzle pieces are beginning to fall into place, and the truth is being exposed,” Police Chief Rob Davis said.

The man is from Nevada and lost a part of his finger in an accident last December, Davis said. His identity was traced through a tip made to Wendy’s hot line, he said.

He said authorities “positively confirmed that this subject was in fact the source of the fingertip.”

The husband may now be brought up on charges as well.
