An employee of an Arkansas funeral home has been charged with selling body parts on Facebook. According to the indictment, more than 20 boxes of scary content went to Jeremy P.* (40) – whose arrest photo has now gone viral.
Candace S.*, 39, arranged for a funeral home to transport the remains of bodies donated to the University of Arkansas School of Medicine in Little Rock. These were later cremated in the crematorium of the funeral home.
According to the indictment, in October 2021, the 39-year-old contacted her online acquaintance P., who ran a Facebook group called “Oddities”. He showed, among other things, photographs of human bones. S. asked him via message: “Just out of curiosity, do you know anyone who would like to buy an intact, embalmed brain?”. The 40-year-old from Pennsylvania grabbed him.
The FBI first thought of a serial killer
Over the next nine months, S. allegedly sold fetuses, brains, hearts, lungs, genitals, fake breasts, and other body parts to the buyer. She sent them by post in 20 large boxes. She allegedly received a total of $10,975, the equivalent of 9,800 francs, in 16 separate payments on PayPal.
The case exploded when the police received a tip in June 2022 that P. was hoarding human organs in the basement. During a raid, the police found buckets of human organs. Detectives, who initially thought they were dealing with a serial killer, came on the trail of the undertaker with help from the FBI.
She remains behind bars awaiting trial in Little Rock on charges of grand larceny, conspiracy and trespassing. P. is being tried separately in Pennsylvania. (jmh)
