Two men have reportedly been caught attmepting to ship infant baby parts to America. The parts are from a museum in Bangkok. Ryan McPherson and Daniel tanTanner claimed they wanted to ship the parts to friends in America. In the boxes, there was a baby's head, an infant's foot, and an adult heart and skin. Police didn't know how to press charges until investigators found that the body parts were stolen from the largest hospital in Thailand. Police are attempting to press charges for robbing a government buildung, but them men have already fled for Cambodia. Thailand has had previous incidents with finding infant remains. Alot of people think infant body parts hold magical powers and seek them for rituals. Black market merchants can make a nice amount of money from selling these.
This is a seriously disturbing story. I hope they catch these guys. I'm glad the police caught the package before it shipped. Imagine being the recievers of that package!

Who buys this? How did they think that they could EVER GET that into the US? This is really, really disturbing.
