Scott and Pauley
An Arkansas woman has pleaded guilty to charges related to stealing body parts from corpses and listing them for sale on Facebook.
Candace Chapman Scott, 37, was working at a mortuary when she stole at least 24 boxes of human body parts from medical school cadavers.
On Thursday, Scott pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to commit mail fraud and one count of interstate transportation of stolen property.
The charges stemmed from Scott selling 24 boxes of human remains to Jeremy Pauley of Pennsylvania for $11,000. The body parts included fetuses, brains, hearts, lungs, genitalia, large pieces of skin, and more.
Scott reportedly sold Pauley the fetus at a discount, saying, “he’s not in great shape.”
