Former Mortuary Employee's Shocking Crimes

Candace Chapman Scott, who worked at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences Anatomical Gift Program, sold human body parts to Jeremy Lee Pauley, paying over $10,000 for various body remains.

Scott's gruesome practices occurred between October 2021 and July 2022 and were discovered by authorities. Judge Brian S. Miller condemned her actions as some of the worst he had ever seen, leading to her conviction for transporting stolen human body parts and conspiracy to commit mail fraud.

Family Members and FBI React

The mother of one victim, a baby named Lux, described her anguish of imagining her son being shipped like an Amazon package. The FBI labelled the case as 'truly incomprehensible and despicable'.

While Scott's conviction cannot undo the immense damage caused, authorities pledge to seek justice for all affected families.
