Ex-Harvard morgue manager's wife pleads guilty to transporting stolen human remains

Denise Lodge, the wife of a former Harvard Medical School morgue manager, pleaded guilty to transporting stolen human body parts, including hands, feet, and heads, to buyers. She admitted to negotiating online sales of stolen items, taken without the school's knowledge or permission, between 2018 and March 2020. Her attorney claimed that Lodge's husband was the main perpetrator and she merely went along with it, emphasizing that no one lost money and framing the matter as a moral and ethical dilemma rather than a criminal case.

FBI Discovers Gruesome Human Remains Decorations in Kentucky Man's Home

FBI agents discovered dozens of human bones, including as many as 40 skulls, inside the home of James William Nott in Mount Washington. Nott was part of a ring involved in purchasing and selling stolen human remains, some of which were linked to the Harvard Medical scandal. The grisly discovery included bones used as decorations around furniture, and Nott was found to have used the name "William Burke" on Facebook to sell the items. The investigation began after a tip about possible human remains in Pennsylvania, leading to the discovery of a network involved in the theft and sale of remains. Nott was arrested and initially charged with firearm possession.
