MAIDEN, N.C. -- A custody battle is going on over a severed human leg.
Police in Maiden, N.C., said a man found a portion of a leg, including the foot and most of the calf, inside a barbecue smoker that he bought recently at an auction.Authorities said the leg belongs to John Wood, who once lived in the Maiden area.But Shannon Whisnant said he wants to keep the leg if Wood isn't willing to pay to get it back. The leg is currently being kept at a funeral home, but Whisnant said he previously charged people to look at the severed leg."It's mine, I want it back, I have a receipt," Whisnant said.Wood wants to get the leg back so he can be buried with it. Wood's mother told police that doctors amputated the leg after a 2004 plane crash in which his father was killed.Whisnant said that if Wood cared about the leg, it wouldn't have been left behind in the smoker.Investigators said the owner of the storage facility where the auction took place told them that the renters of the unit where the smoker was found were behind on their rent.
