Harvard Medical School morgue manager charged with selling stolen body parts

Several people, including a former morgue manager at Harvard Medical School and his wife, have been indicted on charges of trafficking body parts stolen from the school's morgue. The stolen body parts were intended for use by researchers but were sold via Facebook and PayPal and shipped through the U.S. Postal Service mail. The accused are facing charges of conspiracy and interstate transport of stolen goods. The case involves a grotesque multi-state scheme, with some of the body parts sold at a business in Peabody, Massachusetts. Harvard University officials have decried the alleged crimes on campus as "an abhorrent betrayal."
