PORT ST. LUCIE - The St. Lucie County Fire District firefighter accused of absconding with a portion of a man's leg from an Interstate 95 crash scene last year was arrested Monday on a misdemeanor theft charge, a Florida Highway Patrol spokesman said.

Cindy Economou, 38, who wanted the remains to help train her cadaver dog, eventually resigned after taking Karl Lambert's foot and part of his leg from the Sept. 19 crash scene, officials said.

"The warrant lists the value of Lambert's foot at less than $100."

Uhm think the value to the victum was a lot more than $100.

She should have been arrested long ago!

She is one sicko.
If she really has a cadavar dog there are training places for them. That's just ridiculous.

My insurance has paid and is still paying to save my left leg below the knee. So far the bill is well over $100,000. Fortunately they were able to whip MRSA and save the leg. All I have left to show for it is a fairly small open wound about 1 1/2 x 1 1/4 inches. I think my leg is worth the expense.
