Summary
- Jeremy Pauley received six years in prison for trafficking stolen human remains.
- He admitted to buying and selling human organs and bones obtained from a medical school.
- Authorities discovered buckets containing brains, organs, and bones during the investigation.
Jeremy Pauley, a 43-year-old resident of Thompson, Pennsylvania, has been sentenced to six years in federal prison for conspiracy and interstate transportation of stolen property. He was also given three years of supervised release and a $2,000 fine.
Pauley's arrest in August 2022 followed an investigation into the illicit trade of human remains on Facebook. Prosecutors stated that Pauley knowingly bought and sold stolen body parts, some intended for research or cremation. The investigation revealed significant quantities of human remains, including skulls, brains, organs, and bones.
This case has been described as one of the most unusual by local authorities. Several other individuals have already pleaded guilty and received prison sentences for their roles in this disturbing scheme involving the trafficking of stolen human remains.
