A package with coolers containing 18 human heads was found at Chicagos OHare airport on Monday. According to the New York Daily News, airport employees found a grisly surprise when they opened the mysterious package.
Some of the heads were still covered in skin. It was determined that they were medical specimens from Italy which had gotten misplaced. Tony Brucci, chief of investigations for the Cook County medical examiners office told the Chicago Tribune that the specimens were shipped on Lufthansa airlines before Christmas, but their final destination was not clear in the paperwork that accompanied them.
Customs officials forwarded the coolers to the medical examiners office after X-rays revealed that they contained 18 human heads.

At first I thought it may have had something to do with the Mexican drug war. Apparently not.
