The Greenville (Ohio) Police Department announced that they had a particularly unusual case. A citizen called to say he had found a severed human tongue. Officers agreed and took it to the crime lab, “fearful that its probable owner was yet to be located.” But police quickly closed the case when the results came back: it wasn’t human, and it wasn’t a tongue. Investigators said they were “greatly relieved” and noted “how similar looking the human tongue is to a rodent placenta.” (RC/WHIO Dayton) ...Responding officers should have immediately realized it wasn’t a tongue, since a cat didn’t have it.Original Publication Date: 24 November 2013
