WASHINGTON
\nThe Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) arrested a Kentucky man after finding 40 human skulls and spinal cords \u201cdecorating\u201d his home, the Independent reported.
\nWhen the FBI agents visited 39-year-old James Nott\u2019s home, they asked if anyone else was with him. \u201cOnly my dead friends,\u201d he replied. The authorities linked the case to the Harvard morgue trafficking scheme in which a network of people was allegedly involved in trafficking human remains stolen from Harvard Medical School\u2019s morgue.
\nThe agents found about 40 human skulls, spinal cords, femurs and hip bones in Nott\u2019s apartment and a Harvard Medical School bag. <\/p>\n
The man has been accused of selling human parts and possession of a firearm illegally. <\/p>\n
The remains were decorated in Nott\u2019s apartment with one of them wrapped with a headscarf while another on his bed. <\/p>\n
Nott\u2019s Facebook revealed that he was using the name \u201cWilliam Burke\u201d to buy human remains from an online page. He also exchanged messages with Jeremy Pauley from Pennsylvania who was charged in the Harvard morgue case. <\/p>\n
According to HuffPost, initial investigation reveals that body parts found in Nott\u2019s home were not from the Harvard morgue. However, he tried selling them to someone who was linked to the case. <\/p>\n
Nott had shared pictures and videos of human remains to Pauley. <\/p>\n
\u201cThese will be here soon.. not claimed yet,\u201d he said in one of the messages. <\/p>\n
\u201cYeah some of these prices are fucking garbage out there. I don\u2019t mind paying up a little for shop stock,\u201d Pauley allegedly replied. \u201cMakes things look good. How much total for the couple and the last video you sent plus the spines?\u201d<\/p>\n
Last month, six people were charged with trafficking human remains stolen from Harvard Medical School.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
