There’s no byline on this story, I can’t find any other news outlets carrying it, there seems to be no indication of _where_ “Fox 3 News” is, there are less than a dozen stories in total on the entire website (including one claiming that Caitlyn Jenner was caught fellating Kanye West), and their contact into is a Gmail address and a phone number in Las Vegas which goes straight to voicemail (and the mailbox is full). I’m calling “fake” on this. ---

I’m with Smapti on this until further evidence is supplied. Looks like someone watched “Sweeny Todd” one to many times… ---

Considering that even a tiny bit of grit/sand is easily detectable in food, I question the ability to hide ( **several?** ) ground up human skeletons in chicken nuggets. It just sounds impossible. ---

> [@orcenio](#): > > Considering that even a tiny bit of grit/sand is easily detectable in food, I question the ability to hide ( **several?** ) ground up human skeletons in chicken nuggets. It just sounds impossible. To the credit of the writer, it specifically states that the bones were buried. On the other hand, it says that hair was found in the grinder, implying that the murderer de-boned the meat but left the skin, hair, nails, etc. attached when throwing it into the grinder. ---

This story is fake. I live in that area; no such business exists in Iowa City, and it hasn’t hit the news here, let alone anywhere else. Not all the stories on that website are, however. The one about the teenage boy who impersonated a physician is true. I first saw it earlier today on a true-crime website I post on; some people over there believed it too. ---
