The 'oddities' dealers and the 'tanned human skin' Several months before the woman in Arkansas allegedly contacted him, investigators say self-described "preservation specialist" Jeremy Pauley received a shipment of human skin in the mail.

"Specimens that are graciously donated to science deserve the upmost [sic] respect and care — long after their immediate use in the scientific field," he wrote on his website.
"Every body donated to science deserves to be used for its intended purpose, even if that requires months of conservative efforts to do so."
Somewhere around June or July, prosecutors say, Pauley was asked to tan the skin allegedly sent to him by Katrina Maclean.
Ms Maclean was herself an "oddities" dealer, running her business, Kat's Creepy Creations, out of Peabody, Massachusetts.
"[She] engaged his services to tan the skin to create leather," says a grand jury indictment.
"On or about July 31, 2021, Pauley sent a photograph of the leather and Maclean agreed to provide Pauley with human skin in lieu of monetary payment.

not the bee [from hell]?
Makes the case for cremation. Although I once witnessed a “ceremony” on the beach where they didn’t go in to the water to empty the urn, it was just thrown onto the sand. SMH.
I can’t imagine hating my parents, or myself, enough to do that to my face/head.
More Biden voters showing their true multicolors
Another reason I stopped signing my donor card and no longer want to be donated to a medical school after I die.
Not that I care, I will be in heaven, but to much of the body/organ trade gets dark.
"...So we tanned his hide when he died, Clyde, and that's it hangin' on the shed!"
$20 is $20.
Yikes!
Abby Normal.
Reminds me of the Planned Parenthood body parts trade in fetal organs and whole fetuses.
Mostly it was said to be for experimentation but as sick as today’s society is, I bet more than a few were obtained to satisfy oddities collectors.
Human with unique tatoo’s maybe? How about enough for a nice lampshade. Gotta love the re-emergence of such fetish crimal behavior when our leaders make bedfellows of NAZIs in Ukraine and the Canadian Parliament, no doubt.
I would like one human condom, please, since the Nazi’s didn’t do that in WWII. Might as well support the spirit of Biden and Ukraine.
