odd
What is this world coming to? Humans are cruel and str8 F!@#$ up
What kind of heartless person can do THIS 😨🫀
I thought he was gonna say “DNA testing is being done to try to find the owner” 😕
They most likely will do some DNA testing to see if they can find out who the deceased person is that the heart belonged to and if they would possibly be on a missing person’s list so if the individual was murdered then they can have verification that the person is dead and the body has to be located.
Tis the seasoned.
Way to rub a wound in salt.
guy put his heart into mining that salt
Hannibal left it in an attempted to age it lol.
Shows how much they loved the open road ❤
Lol 😆
I bet ID channel screenwriters are already working on titles for this now…
“Heartless Betrayal”
The millions of people who give dna samples to trace their ancestries must be a hugely valuable resource. Are there laws preventing this?
No. They catch people like that quite frequently actually. All they need is a relative to do one & bam, you get a match. It can be distant cousins & everything.
@R R more than 300 people go missing every year in Tennessee.
Wait, finding a human heart in a pile of salt made his top 5 most bizarre things. What’s 1-4 I wonder 🤔
It could be 2 3 4 or 5
@d ́buC of course, but my main point is, he didn’t say it was first so,if not, what is? Lol
Him putting the heart there
Look, Humphreys county is wild. We all seen some things out here.
I was thinking the same thing!
Someone died and you people are making jokes you people are heartless
I thought I left my heart in San Francisco. Guess I left it in Tennessee
Salt has been used for thousands of years as a way to preserve meat. As out there as human consumption sounds, it has happened.
Gross. Please have a heart. Here, take this one.
@Dem Pilafian No thanks, I only eat fresh food.
Well…. They probably deserved it. Spirits… Keep them hidden for now. 🤷🏾♀️
Someone just screwed up Hannibal Lechters Christmas dinner…he was saving that.
WHATTTTTT
Somewhere right at this moment there are untold legions of individuals hard at work in their basements.
This is the first stage on mummifying tissue.
These comments are wild 😅
Kanye West
Chuck Liddell has a twin brother????
Just… a heart. Just a single human heart… in salt. 👁👄👁
Thank God it wasn’t a body And just a heart right?!
I betcha some serial killer stuck it in the salt months ago to be found now when the salt is needed
Let us hope it belonged to someone who got a heart transplant…and it was their old diseased heart, that someone stole for some bizarre reason and it ended up there…optimistic viewpoint…
This is one of the news that just make me go …..wtf.
If they have dna of any missing people they should cross refrence it with that….thats pretty weird af1
Only one that told me they were in Tennessee name was Lisa
Don’t they know salt is bad for the heart?
The age of the serial killer has returned. Be aware and be safe.🙏🏽
It never left.
Come on? Have a heart❤
DNA test
How rare. Was it some kind of heart donation that someone refuse and left it there? Pretty dumb as the salt at least preserved but ultimately destroyed and dehydrated.
Someone messed up the recipe to pink himalayan salt. Forgot to put in the refinery
I suspect the people who have access to the salt barn might have something to do with it. Hopefully they can still get DNA from it.
Wtf?!?
Unbelievable. Maybe an animal attacked a hunter somewhere in the area and animals did it?
At least it got preserve with all the salt.
Some people have no heart, tragic.
So it was brined?
The first time a heartless victim! Usually it’s the suspect that’s heartless.
TN folks are always sick.
Someone really but their heart and soul into their job…
Someone was curing the heart like bacon 😂
I’ve heard of salt pork or saltine crackers but this is absurd…
Probably grinded up the bones and now is in the salt. Check DNA in the salt.
Are your sure it was a HUMAN heart?? According to the books this is only done for the heart of a Banshee or the eyes of a master groul. Recheck it.
It could be Tony Bennet’s he did leave his heart in San Francisco, maybe it’s final resting place was Tennessee.
One of the workers is a cannibal he’s been curing his meat in the salt for years
These cases never go over well in hillbilly ville lmao
Very interesting..
This is …. disturbing.
So that’s where my ex put it…
😯
This is a Total Eclipse
one salty human down to the heart
No surveillance camera?
Totally brza
There’s a witch somewhere triggered because y’all stole her ingredients, and only the witch knows how long he/she has been preserving that heart.
โอน
Congratulations! We now have organ Harvesting in America.
It has to be one of the employees who hated his ex I bet it’s a female heart and I bet it was someone that either left or wouldn’t give one of these dudes the tiime or the day
Its probably a pig heart.
It was confirmed to be from a human
heart to imagine this could happen
🤦🏽♀️
Third world country where salt was barged in from, that would not be uncommon.
Is it a match to anyone in Moscow?….. Moscow Idaho?….. In the meantime don’t eat the pink snow….. Or the yellow snow……
Geeze all you jokesters are seriously evil.😢
Unsolved be amazing if they discover something on this. Crazy
Have a cruelty free Christmas, instead of eating dead animals that were abused and tortured in factory farms and slaughter houses choose wonderful vegan alternatives, no one has to suffer and die because of your food choices.
No excuse for animal abuse !
This gave me a heart attack.
This could be all kinds of things, this person most definitely could have been murdered or this heart could have also been part of the “Organ Trade” that’s been going on for many years. I hope whatever it is, it gets figured out, and soon!
Florida is losing it edge.
The title should of have said heartless crime
Thats weird…I usually store them in an old pickle barrel
It’s heart to say who it is😏
Who’s heart was this, Satan’s?!!
Someone’s heart goes out to the TDOT workers.
With the amount of people that go missing every year something is bound to turn up and it does we just don’t hear about it
The cruelest creatures on earth are…..Humans 😢…..they do the cruelest things to other humans 😢… very 😞.
Don’t gerbils and other rodents eat their own babies?
Salted heart, Yummy
VOODOO 🪳
It’s crazy that they found this. Talk about finding a needle in a haystack.
I think it’s my mother’s. It’s been missing since 2020
Wth
TN is quite heartless.
I found 🫁🧠🫀👅🦷👄🦶🏻🦵🏻🖖🏻 and thought nothing of it, next time I will call the popo 👮♂️
This sounds like a job for Sam and Dean Winchester.
too much salt is bad for your heart…….
They always tell people to have a heart now they’re upset when somebody does
Very sad and scary
Reminds me of the bones episode
All the heartless comments . . .
I’ve been looking for that thing everywhere! Glad someone found it.
Wiiiild
DAYUUUMMMMN
Human trafficking all over it, someone totally missed a package..
Wtf type of news are these.?
Some dude must of been standing there as his gf texted him the truth .
