An Alaska woman has filed a suit against a Houston firm that sent a part of her dead father’s leg in a mail instead of the gourmet ‘‘lobster gram’’ she was hoping for, people involved in the case said on Tuesday.Lane wants $ 1 million for breach of contract and mental anguish that beset her after opening the packet, according to the lawsuit filed in the Federal Court. The odd saga began in early 2000 when George Semmens died in North Dakota. He left his $ 200,000 estate to Lane, his only child.A sister of Semmens challenged whether Lane really was his daughter as he had never married her mother. So the North Dakota judge had ordered that his body be exhumed for DNA testing. A leg bone and samples of Semmens’ body tissue were sent for the test. Tony Buzbee, a lawyer for Lane said: ‘‘The leg was supposed to be cremated, but was sent to her by mistake.’’
