Stolen body parts donated to medical science allegedly sold to man thief met on Facebook

A Pennsylvania man who was found with gallon buckets of body parts in his basement, and allegedly bought $11,000 worth of stolen body parts from a medical school is on bail, despite being involved in one of the "most bizarre investigations" a prosecutor has seen in more than 30 years.

Jeremy Lee Pauley, 40, of Enola, Pennsylvania, was found with three five-gallon buckets in his basement by law enforcement after complaints about Pauley triggered the search. Among the remains were human brains, hearts, livers, skin and lungs.

This was also when officials uncovered a scheme which saw a former mortuary worker selling Pauley boxes of stolen body parts. It's alleged that 36-year-old Candace Chapman Scott sold Pauley 20 boxes of body parts which had been stolen from a mortuary having come from a nearby medical school after being donated as cadavers for medical students to examine.
