A Pennsylvania man was arrested for allegedly purchasing human remains illegally for resale on Facebook.
Jeremy Pauley,40, purchased the human remains from an Arkansas woman, Candace Scott, who posted the remains for resale on Facebook. According to Cumberland County authorities, Pauley described himself as the owner/curator of the Grand Wunderkammer and executive director of the Memento Mori Museum. The Grand Wunderkammer is reported as “a vendor of the odd and unusual” and hosts events such as museum exhibits, guest lectures, and live entertainment.”
A forensic examiner later said in a report that the buckets found in Pauley’s basement contained human brains, skin and fat, a human heart, a human kidney, a human skull with hair, a human liver, a human female pelvis, and a piece of a human torso which included a nipple. Police alerted authorities in Arkansas and concluded that Scott stole the remains from a mortuary owned by the University of Arkansas. A statement from the university said she was a worker who had access to the morgue.
