Did gold digger kill her elderly boyfriend?
Anna Ayala Tried to Shake Down Wendy's by Putting a Severed Finger in Her Chili
Friday, Mar. 12 2010 @ 4:28PM
It was a grand caper -- at least in Anna Ayala's mind. Brian Rossiter had lost his ring finger in a job accident. So Ayala decided to buy it for 100 bucks. Then she cooked it in a batch of chili at her Las Vegas home and kept it in the freezer for storage...
Her plan: to shake down Wendy's.
She drove to a San Jose Wendy's and ordered the chili. Then she put the finger in the bowl, pretended to bite it, and submitted a fine performance in her role as Woman Goes Hysterical After Finding Severed Finger in Her Food. Judges for the Daytime Emmy's, however, were not impressed.
Ayala was naturally hoping for a handsome payoff for her traumatic experience. And news of the incident caused Wendy's to lose an estimated $21 million in business. But after some frantic investigative work, detectives soon learned that this wasn't Wendy's fault; Ayala was merely running a scam.
Husband Jaime Plascencia is still in the slam for his role in the caper.
She spent four years in prison. Her husband Jaime
Plascencia is still sitting there. But they both went to jail without spilling the secrets to their plot.
Ayala has now confessed to CBS-5 TV the details of the scam. Though she never managed to get a dime from Wendy's, she did receive something arguably better: She's banned from Wendy's for life.
For as everyone knows, Burger King is way better.
What an idiot I mean sooner or later that finger had to have a source??

Posted 03/12/2010 at 04:48:51 PMYes, this originally happend in '05, trial and sentencing in '06. She's been out on parole for almost a year. She's back in the news now for just making a public apology to Wendy's in a TV interview the other day.
Posted 03/12/2010 at 04:56:10 PMI thought this sounded familiar-I guess it's never too late to apologize
Posted 03/12/2010 at 05:19:10 PMWell, at least she is owning up to it now. Not too many people do that now days. But I still think she's stupid for thinking that she could get away with that. I mean, c'mon..a freshly severed finger in her cup of chile..knowing that no Wendy's employees were injured during work. She should have thought that one out a little more lol.
Posted 03/12/2010 at 06:14:32 PMThat's the think HYWmark77, idiots who try to scam companies like this don't think about it first. If they did, they would realize it's never gonna work!!!
Posted 03/13/2010 at 02:22:48 AMWell, she had to have known they'd investigate it. She must have thought she made her chili with the same gross ingredients that Wendy's makes theirs... nah, she just didnt think very far into it.
Posted 03/13/2010 at 02:16:18 PMEveryone makes their chili differently. Surely there would have been some kind of test to find a residue of her chili still left on that finger.
Dishonesty. I knew someone who found a rat tail in a bottle of coke. We were there when she opened the bottle. She just threw it away. But none of us ever bought another coke. There is not enough money for me to ever drink one again. That was five years ago.
Posted 03/13/2010 at 02:55:52 PMLove the lame comment at the end of the article. Burger King has horrible food, nothing at burger king even tastes real.
Posted 03/13/2010 at 03:02:31 PMWhy is her husband the one who is still in jail, when she is the one who came up with and executed the scheme?
Posted 03/13/2010 at 03:17:13 PMI can't stand dishonest lowlifes. Your pathetic existence sucks, boohoo; don't drag other people into your circle.
Posted 03/13/2010 at 03:34:32 PMMaybe if any of these losers did any reading they might know how these lame ideas have been attempted before. They don't discuss the news much on reality tv.
Posted 03/14/2010 at 03:48:27 PMI SWEAR I heard this story back when I was in Elementry school. I'm now 35....Do peole EVER get tired of this story????
Posted 03/15/2010 at 09:59:15 PMIf people keep watching reality TV,they will keep coming up with ideas on how to be famous. Its no different to crashing a whitehouse dinner.
