Severed Human Hand Found At Stripper's Home

SOUTH PLAINFIELD, N.J. -- A severed hand was found at the home of an exotic dancer who decorated her home with skulls, and she was charged with improper disposition of human remains, authorities said.

Friends said the hand had been given to the woman by a medical student.

Police responding to a report of a suicidal person at the home of 31-year-old Linda Kay discovered the large, roughly severed hand in a jar of formaldehyde on a bedroom dresser, according to the police report. The subject of the suicidal person report was not located, authorities said.

Six skulls were found in another room and the Middlesex County medical examiner determined that all are human.

Kay was arrested Friday and freed on $100,000 bail pending arraignment Wednesday. No lawyer had filed papers on her behalf Tuesday, a court administrator said.

No telephone number was listed for Kay and there was no immediate comment from her.

Two people who knew Kay told The Star-Ledger of Newark that the hand, which Kay nicknamed "Freddy," was a gift from a medical student who frequented an all-nude juice bar :wtf: where she dances.

Kay's mother, Patricia Ann Kay, told the newspaper that her daughter bought the skulls from a mail order catalog. She said her daughter has always been fascinated with the macabre, and when she was a girl she collected animal skulls and snake skeletons.

1. Being from NJ, I do not find this surprising.

Oh and about the "all-nude juice bar" thing. It's illegal for women to dance topless or nude in NJ, if alcohol is being served. If there's alcohol (which is most gentlemen's clubs), they have to wear a bikini. So in order to get around this law, there are a few places that have nude dancers, but they only serve juice & soda. People can bring in alchohol with them though. I actually almost went to the place in question once for a birthday party, but had to work or something. My friends apparently brought in a case of beer and just had to pay a heightened cover.

8. CT is similar

They actually have a place in Hartford that is one side for age 21 & over where they serve alcohol, but the women can "only" get topless...

On the other side, it is an 18 & over juice bar with full nudity.

9. Proof that some laws are very silly.

10. it's a bit silly

the middle is where the dancers change... but, if a customer wants to go between the two bars, the customer has to go outside and go in the separate entrances. It is kind of silly.

And, you can get lap dances on either side.

The juice bar even had (it's been a while since I went) a champagne room with fake champagne.

2. God I hope she didn't have any Zeppelin posters on her wall

"leave your money on the dresser, sailor"

4. Or "hands off!"

6. She asked someone to give her a hand.

11. Not quite "Headless Body in Topless Bar"

The infamous NY Post headline from back in the 80s.

13. a friend of mine arrested years ago for similar

there is no nice way to put it, some of these mausoleums in new orleans are not holding up too well, and she grave robbed a skull for some ceremony

alas as it happened she got rear-ended or something, anyway the cops saw the skull in her car and about freaked

i think she ended up paying $1,000 for the ticket and that was in late 88 or 90 or thereabouts

plus it was in the newspaper, not just in police reports, but an actual story with her name and everything telling how she was a grave robber, just an icky thing all around

our little new age community was supposed to be a little more enlightened than to be working w/ people's skulls! but i guess it takes all kinds :shrug:

14. One way of discouraging grabby customers.

15. Why its an all-nude juice bar...

Your average strip bar has two things: strippers and beer. But because they serve beer, they can't have an all-nude show. That's just the way the laws work in most places. But when a strip joint is either denied a liquor license (or really wants an all-nude show), they opt instead to serve juice and go all-nude. I've heard of a lot of juice bar/strip joints; and some around here are said to serve wicked good sandwiches.

16. You really need to get your priorities straight

said to serve wicked good sandwiches

You go to an all-nude strip bar for the nudity.

[Orrex]

18. "You go to an all-nude strip bar for the nudity."

Maybe, but you stay for the wicked good sandwiches.

Come on! Delis with good sandwiches are a dime a dozen, and they don't often feature exotic dancers. But a strip-club with good sandwiches?!? Now that's a find!

17. Um, they sell something like that at Fantasy Gifts for $50...

plus the cost of batteries.

Is the genuine organic feel REALLY necessary?
