Body parts scandal rocks Harvard Medical School and Minnesota tattoo shop.
The owner of a Minnesota tattoo parlor, Matthew R. Lampi, has been indicted on charges of conspiracy and interstate transport of stolen goods, including human remains such as brains, lungs, and stillborn babies. Lampi was allegedly involved in a cross-country scheme to buy and sell stolen body parts, and was open about his collection in online posts before his indictment. The scheme involved several other individuals, including a former manager at the Harvard Medical School morgue and his wife. Lampi's interest in collecting human skulls brought him into contact with Jeremy Pauley, 41, of Bloomsburg, Pennsylvania, who allegedly sold many of the stolen remains to other people, including Lampi.
