2023/06/15

Seven people, including the morgue manager at Harvard Medical School, have been arrested and charged with stealing and selling human remains from mortuaries at Ivy League school and the University of Arkansas. An underground network allegedly robbed corpses, including two stillborn infants, from Harvard's Anatomical Gifts Program and an Arkansas mortuary and crematorium. Cedric Lodge, who worked at the university morgue, allegedly stole remains and sold body parts online with the help of his wife, Denise, to associates, Katrina Maclean, Joshua Taylor, and Matthew Lampi. Prosecutors allege that one of Lampi's clients, Jeremy Pauley, exchanged more than $100,000 in body parts with Lampi. The defendants face charges of conspiracy and the unlawful transportation of stolen goods, which carry a maximum of 15 years behind bars.
