Harvard Med School morgue manager, others charged for selling stolen human remains

[T-post Tom]

Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) agents arrested six suspects who allegedly trafficked stolen human body parts, including remains from cadavers at Harvard Medical School.

Goffstown, New Hampshire resident Cedric Lodge, who worked as the morgue manager at Harvard Medical School, was arrested and indicted by a federal grand jury on Wednesday. His wife Denise Lodge was taken into custody as well, along with Katrina Maclean of Salem, Massachusetts.

Three other suspects – Pennsylvania residents Joshua Taylor and Jeremy Pauley, along with Minnesota resident Matthew Lampi – were also indicted for their alleged involvement in the trafficking.

Lodge is accused of stealing organs and other parts of cadavers donated for medical research and education before they were to be cremated. Authorities allege he would sometimes take the stolen remains from Boston to his New Hampshire home between 2018 and 2022. Authorities said he and his wife, Denise Lodge, would then sell the remains.

Three other suspects – Pennsylvania residents Joshua Taylor and Jeremy Pauley, along with Minnesota resident Matthew Lampi – were also indicted for their alleged involvement in the trafficking.

"I am an artist of horror, macabre, oddities, and everything creepy," her business' Facebook page reads.

In one graphic situation, Maclean reportedly bought two "dissected faces" from Lodge for $600. In another, she allegedly shipped human skin to Jeremy Pauley, so he could turn it into leather.

The indictment states that Pauley allegedly sent over $40,000 to Taylor via Paypal. A total of $37,355.56 was sent by Taylor to an account operated by Denise Lodge, with memos including statements like "head number 7" and "braiiiiiins."

Harvard Medical School (HMS) addressed the incident in a statement titled "An abhorrent betrayal."

"We are appalled to learn that something so disturbing could happen on our campus – a community dedicated to healing and serving others," the statement read. "The reported incidents are a betrayal of HMS and, most importantly, each of the individuals who altruistically chose to will their bodies to HMS through the Anatomical Gift Program to advance medical education and research."

I remember one podcast in which a pair of guys were murdering people and then selling the cadavers to universities at the time. I wanna say this was late 1800's, early 1900's. Could be wrong though, it's been years. I can't recall the body count other than remembering it being pretty damn high.

I'm 83 days into a lower trap xfer with a cadaver tendon and rotator cuff. I call him Dave. We're gonna take Dave out for a spin this winter hopefully. I'd of bought a whole new shoulder ensemble if I'd of known these cats were in business.

I have a cadaver tendon for an ACL in my left knee.. I call him George..

I can't find a doctor who will attach a third arm to my chest. I'm not sure if that's because of medical ethics or a shortage of parts. I wonder if these guys could have helped.

Awesome dude. Have you put some pressure on him yet? Are you and George comfortable with say...running slant routes or is too early?

You guys have knee cadavers and you're not naming them Tyreek? That's a missed opportunity to cut your 40 time dramatically.

I don't care about running. I have horses for that. I want my cannon back.

I'm also sure I can accurately diagnose torn shoulders with nothing but a booty sock test I need to patent. No mri needed from my practice BSO or BST. Booty sock orthopedics or Booty sock technologies. I haven't decided.

Your thread is stuttering paragraphs 3 and 4.

Or I just experienced the fastest case of Deja Vu on record.

He was going to come clean about what was going on but he didn't have the heart to tell them.

[irafreak]

It's a bizarre and amusing topic but in all seriousness, burn these freaks at the stake. Desecration of human remains donated for scientific study is barbaric.

"Hey honey? I uh... got some free stuff from work. Do you think you could sell it for me online? I know you're so good at that stuff."

Probably Burke and Hare. I bet they robbed graves too.
