Arrest warrants for two American videographers infamous for their “Bumfights” videos were issued this morning.
Ryan McPherson, 31, and Daniel Tanner, 33, are wanted on charges of stealing human body parts from the Siriraj Medical Museum and attempting to smuggle them abroad, according to Deputy Police Chief Ruangsak Jarit-eak.
McPherson told the police on Saturday he obtained the body parts from a night market – he couldn’t remember where exactly – and shipped them via DHL to friends in Las Vegas as a prank.

The two were released after four hours of questioning and left for Cambodia on Sunday morning.
The arrest warrants were issued today after police obtained sufficient evidence that the human parts were stolen from Siriraj Hospital.
The two suspects will be tracked down by the national police’s Foreign Affairs Division with the help of INTERPOL, Bangkok Post reported.
