Candace Chapman Scott, 36, a former mortuary worker, is accused of selling 20 boxes of body parts to a man she met through a Facebook group about “oddities,” according to the April 5 indictment unsealed Friday in federal court in Little Rock.

The man who allegedly purchased the remains was not named in the federal indictment. But he was identified as Jeremy Lee Pauley in separate state charges.

The fact that he received only probation given the morbid nature of the crime is disturbing.

I suppose we should be thankful he was stupid enough to do this on Facebook so he could be quickly caught.

"The remains were stolen from the Harvard Medical School, an investigation found, according to WGAL."

I am assuming the body parts came from bodies donated to the medical school? How long was this going on? When did Harvard figure out that body parts were being stolen? What has Harvard done about it? Are the parts being DNA tested so they can be returned to the families? Why and for what purpose are these "collectors" getting body parts? I have so many questions.

The fact that he received only probation given the morbid nature of the crime is disturbing.

"As part of a plea deal, the self-described "collector of oddities" received two years of supervised probation. If he is deemed to be on good behavior, the sentence would be one year supervised and then one year unsupervised probation."

Man sentenced for abuse of corpse

Jeremy Pauley pleaded guilty to an abuse of corpse charge. He was arrested after police said they found buckets of human remains last year inside his former home in Enola.
