US men sought over bid to post body parts THAI police have issued arrest warrants for two Americans who attempted to mail a preserved baby's head, foot and other human body parts to the US, saying the objects were stolen from a Thai medical museum. THE bizarre case has quickly gained international attention, with Thai police asking Cambodian authorities to help locate the men, who travelled to the neighbouring country on Sunday, and the FBI helping with the investigation in the US. Police questioned Ryan McPherson, 31, and his friend, Daniel Tanner, 33, over the weekend in Bangkok, but released them and allowed them to travel to Cambodia. New elements then emerged after their departure, prompting the arrest warrants to be issued on Tuesday on charges of theft, possession of stolen items and falsely declaring items on shipping documents, said police Major General Sombat Milintachinda, the head of Bangkok's police investigation bureau. "Our evidence indicates that they either stole the body parts, or they bought them from other people," he said. We have to bring them back for more questioning. The case of the human body parts emerged over the weekend when parcel delivery company DHL said it scanned three US-bound packages labelled as toys and detected five human body parts. DHL alerted police who tracked down the senders, McPherson and Tanner, and brought them in for questioning. They told police they had bought the body parts at a Bangkok night market - an infant's head, a baby's foot sliced into three sections, an adult's heart with a stab wound and two slices of tattooed skin. The objects were preserved separately in acrylic boxes with formaldehyde. The men told police they thought the items were "bizarre" and "wanted to ship them to friends to surprise them," Sombat and other police said. But new details surfaced on Monday when one of Bangkok's biggest hospitals, Siriraj Hospital, said the body parts were stolen from its anatomy museum and its forensic medicine museum - which the two men had visited last week. Surveillance video showed the pair at the registration counters of both museums on Thursday, the same day police said they arrived in Thailand, said Udom Kachintorn, the medical dean at Siriraj Hospital. All three packages were being sent to Las Vegas, including one that McPherson had addressed to himself. Police said they contacted the FBI to get information about the would-be recipients of the items.
