The owner of the finger, who at this time remains nameless , lost his finger tip while working at an asphalt company back in December 2004. Police were able to trace it after receiving information from Pat Hogue, who called a Wendy's hot-line. Hogue worked as a cost estimator at an asphalt company at the same time as the co-workers Pascencia and the man who lost the portion of his little finger. The tipster was unaware, until after Ayala's arrest, of the connection between the Wendy's "finger-pointer" and her husband Plascencia. Police believe the finger was given to Ayala's husband  . They do not know how it was transported or preserved during the five months until it turned up in the bowl of chili. More arrests are possible, according to police.
