Wife of ex-Harvard morgue manager pleads guilty to transporting stolen human remains
The wife of a former Harvard Medical School morgue manager has pleaded guilty to a federal charge after investigators said she shipped stolen human body parts — including hands, feet and heads — to buyers.
Denise Lodge, 64, of Goffstown, New Hampshire, pleaded guilty Friday in U.S. District Court in the Middle District of Pennsylvania to a charge of interstate transportation of stolen goods, according to court records.
Federal prosecutors last year announced charges against Lodge, her husband Cedric and five other people in an alleged scheme in which a nationwide network of people bought and sold human remains stolen from Harvard and a mortuary in Arkansas.
Prosecutors allege that Denise Lodge negotiated online sales of a number of items between 2018 and March 2020 including two dozen hands, two feet, nine spines, portions of skulls, five dissected human faces and two dissected heads, PennLive.com reported.
Authorities said dissected portions of cadavers donated to the school were taken between 2018 and early 2023 without the school’s knowledge or permission. A Pennsylvania man, Jeremy Pauley of Thompson, is awaiting sentencing after pleading guilty last year to conspiracy and interstate transportation of stolen property.

will be screaming racism any time now
Harvard medical school is so much more “diverse” nowadays.
As DEI continues to worm its way into medical schools, its time to embrace all cultures including voodoo witch doctors?
What kind of person buys illegal body parts?
The hungry kind
Many places have huge shortages of cadavers and medical specimens. The problem has worsened since COVID.
There are also occasional bad actors like those looking to fake the death of a person for profit or to hide from the government (or other bad actors).
There are always people willing to buy these for some use or another. It’s a lucrative black market actually.
Who in the world is in the market for a human head???
Dr. Fauci, America’s miniature Mengele.
