Woman charged with selling 20 boxes of human body parts to owner of "Oddities" private Facebook group [1]
['David Pescovitz']
Date: 2023-05-02
Candace Chapman Scott, 36, pleaded not guilty to selling more than 20 boxes of human skulls, skin, hearts, arms, lungs, kidneys, penises, and a complete head to the owner of a private Facebook group called "Oddities." Apparently Scott worked for a commercial cremation company.
According to the indictment, Scott messaged the owner: "I follow your page and work and LOVE it. Just out of curiosity, would you know anyone in the market for a fully in tact [sic], embalmed brain?"
He ultimately paid her more than $10,000 for an array of organs. From NPR:
