Body Parts Scheme Appeal
A former resident of central Pennsylvania is challenging his conviction in a high-profile case involving the illicit trade of human remains. Jeremy Lee Pauley, a 43-year-old man from Honesdale, has filed a notice of appeal with the U.S. Third Circuit Court of Appeals, seeking to overturn his conviction in connection with a national scheme to sell stolen body parts to collectors of unusual items.
Pauley, who previously lived in Cumberland County, was described as a key figure in the operation, acting as a middleman between those who stole the body parts and the individuals who purchased them. The case has drawn widespread attention due to its disturbing nature and the scope of the scheme, which involved the sale of human remains to collectors of oddities.
The appeal, filed in the U.S. Middle District Court, marks the latest development in a case that has raised concerns about the exploitation of human remains for financial gain. As the appeal process moves forward, it is likely to shed further light on the circumstances surrounding Pauley’s conviction and the broader implications of the scheme.
