'Robbing families of the remains of their loved ones is an unconscionable act and confounds our collective sense of decency,” said Christopher Nielsen, inspector in charge of the Philadelphia Division of the Postal Inspection Service.

Cedric Lodge, 55, Katrina Maclean, 44, Joshua Taylor, 46, Denise Lodge, 63, and Mathew Lampi, 52, and Jeremy Pauley, 41, were indicted by a federal grand jury on June 14, for charges of conspiracy and interstate transport of stolen goods.

Lodge also sometimes took stolen body parts from Boston to his home in Goffstown, New Hampshire, where he and his wife, Denise Lodge, sold the remains to Maclean, Taylor, and others, according to the DOJ. Cedric Lodge even allowed both Maclean and Taylor to enter the morgue at Harvard Medical School and take a look at the cadavers so they could "choose what to purchase."

Pauley also allegedly purchased body parts from Candace Chapman Scott. Scott would steal body parts from the mortuary and crematorium where she worked in Little Rock, Arkansas, between late 2021 into mid-2022.
