A 40-year-old man who collects bones and other human remains was arrested for allegedly trying to sell body parts on Facebook.
A report indicates that the East Pennsboro Township Police Department received a call on June 14 about suspicious activity in the 200 block of North Enola Road. On arrival, officers found Jeremy Pauley, who had allegedly been buying human body parts from a female in Arkansas.
The remains were found in Enola, Arkansas, and Scranton, and were reportedly being sold on Facebook.
According to reports, Pauley owns and operates The Grand Wunderkammer, which describes itself on Facebook as "Vendors of the odd and unusual, museum exhibits, guest lectures, live entertainment, and so much more!"."
Pauley's personal Facebook page shows buckets of bones and other remains, including femurs, vertebrae, a pelvis, clavicles, and "pounds and pounds of teeth."
The East Pennsboro Township Police Department, Cumberland County Forensics, and the Cumberland County Coroner's Office searched Pauley's home, according to court records cited by WHTM-TV. During their search, they found several large buckets containing human body parts, including skin, a heart, a spleen, two brains, two livers, two lungs, and other organs.
Pauley allegedly bought $4,000 worth of remains from the woman in Arkansas, including half a head, three brains with skull caps, one heart, four hands, a female pelvis, and more. According to police, he intended to resell the items.
The woman reportedly shipped the parts via the United States Postal Service. She allegedly stole the remains from a mortuary run by the University of Arkansas. The package was intercepted by Pennsylvania State Police in Scranton, Pennsylvania, according to WNEP-TV, which also cites court documents.
Pauley told detectives he collected "oddities," and police noted many of the relics were legitimate purchases.
It was reported that Pauley was released on $50,000 unsecured bail after being charged with abuse of a corpse, receiving stolen property, and dealing in proceeds of unlawful activity.
