Police seek to reunite fingertip with rightful owner

Canadian police are looking for the owner of a fingertip recently found in Erin Township. Last Thursday police were called to investigate after a fingertip was found near the Dundas entrance of the Erin fairgrounds.

So far, police have been unable to find whom the unaccounted appendage belongs to. “We’d really like to know who it belongs to,” said Ontario Provincial Police Sgt. Derrick King. “The priority … is to identify who lost a fingertip and who it belongs to.” Other than the fingertip, King said there was no evidence of any other human remains at the scene.



While police haven’t ruled it out yet, the sergeant doesn’t expect that investigators suspect foul play has any role in the recent discovery. “I don’t think they expect foul play, but I guess that is what they’re trying to determine,” King said.

“We have to rule out different things, but I don’t think … that’s the direction they are going right now.” Anyone with information regarding the incident is asked to call Wellington County OPP. Tips can also be sent anonymously to Crime Stoppers.
