_____________________________________________________________
This is probably one of the strangest UID cases that I've discovered in a while. I can't find any news articles or anything discussing this discovery, which is odd, considering this happened less than eight months ago.
I'm not even sure that this could even be considered an unidentified decedent case. The person who owned this finger could very well be alive, IMO. I'm wondering if there's evidence that the finger belonged to a dead person.
I also am at a loss when it comes to explaining how the finger might have gotten on the vehicle. Maybe birds (vultures?) could have picked it up and ended up dropping it on the vehicle from the sky. That could suggest that an entire body was/is out there somewhere decomposing.
