Children on scavenger hunt found eyeball

Police are investigating after some children found an eyeball near the Gresham Station shopping centre in Oregon on Thursday night.

Gresham police said the eye was found inside a transparent medicine bottle in a parking lot near Red Robin. They said it looks like a real eyeball, but it is unclear if it is animal or human.



The bottle was next to a pair of shattered eyeglasses, shower gel and a lighter. Brittany Hancock works at Red Robin and said a group of children on a scavenger hunt for a birthday party found it. They alerted restaurant workers who called police. "It just broke my heart,” Hancock said.

“Because either way, if it was an animal or a person, it's just hard to think of how to feel. It was just so bizarre." Police said they have not received reports of a missing eyeball. In the meantime, the eye has been taken to the medical examiner to figure out where it came from.
