Candace Scott indicted in Jeremy Pauley human remains case’ An Arkansas woman finally faces charges months after authorities arrested her co-defendant for allegedly buying stolen body parts from her.

A federal grand jury indicted her on April 5, and the case was unsealed Friday, according to The Arkansas Democrat-Gazette. Scott and Pauley allegedly belonged to the same Facebook group regarding “oddities.”
“This is one of the most bizarre investigations I have encountered in my thirty-three years as a prosecutor,” Cumberland County District Attorney Seán M. McCormack said last year. “Just when I think I have seen it all, a case like this comes around.”
Cops in East Pennsboro, Pennsylvania, arrested Pauley on Aug. 18, 2022. Prosecutors said officers got a complaint on June 14, 2022, of possible human body parts sold on Facebook. Then, on July 8, a person called cops out to a home on N. Enola Drive regarding possible human remains.
“The caller reported finding possible human remains in the basement of the residence contained inside of several 5-gallon buckets,” authorities wrote.
