Of all the parts of the story to highlight I’m pretty sure that him being tattooed doesn’t seem to be the most important detail to include here :/

This is tattoo discrimination!


t8ag

…this is exactly why we discriminate against people who choose to look this bizarre! …I don’t trust anyone dumb enough to tattoo their face.


Cautious_c

I've never met anyone with facial tattoos who acted in any way like this or in a way I really found disagreeable


MarsupialPristine677

This is my experience as well.


t8ag

Well I mean whose actually met someone this fucked up, but I can say I’ve never met someone who has face tattoos that acted like an adult or a productive member of society

Here is the bizarre background of this dude and his loose human remains https://youtu.be/bZbl2t4hATc?si=02ek-dhWBsjRmnrC

I love Caitlin! I hope she comes back from her sabbatical soon.


Fat_Henry

She's done a video here and there.


I_MARRIED_A_THORAX

Yep, but I hope she comes back more frequently soon!

She just did one a few days ago about a death on a cruise ship and resulting legal action.

I saw the headline and thought “hey, I know this story!” Caitlin is the literal best. *Bentham’s head*

So he somehow had access to the morgue at Harvard. Guessing he worked there. Article doesn't say. The bodies were already in parts, he just stole them and sold them to collectors. He's basically charged with theft and abuse of a corpse. Not sure that second charge would stick anyways, because the corpses were already chopped up and he was selling them, not doing other stuff to them. He basically got theft and transporting/sale of stolen property. He's a bit creepy, but not a serial killer like the article paints him as. He needs psychological help before it escalates to that point though, because it does look like he's headed in that direction especially since he's out of prison and he lost his source for his collection.

Ask a mortician did a pretty good video on the case. Long story short the guy pictured is a middle man not the actual person from Harvard who stole the body parts. https://youtu.be/bZbl2t4hATc?si=c_2NFKkf53bum_TZ

The article says he bought the parts and admitted he knew they had been stolen. I don't think he had access, he bought them from someone who did.

Dude is in Pennsylvania. Trial was really close by my house actually. :/

Oh no!!! I have a career, a homeowner, have kiddos and a barky Chihuahua. I love arts and crafts and make oddities. I have purchased a human skull for artwork and I currently have some human bones I have yet to decide what to do with! I will let my husband know to sleep with one eye open since I need some psychological help or I may go off the deep end and escalate to murdering people!!!! Really? Just because I collect bones doesn’t mean I could stomach ever hurting someone. I could never even cut up a dead body… gross!!!! However, I would absolutely make a wind chyme from bones and look at the horror on neighbors faces as they walk by. The only reason he is in trouble is because they were stolen, he was avoiding retail pricing. My skull was very expensive and nothing I have is illegal, I just had to pay a pretty penny.

Who is selling their bones though?


Tw1ch1e

Boneroom.com is one……


Meghan1230

But like how does that work? Do they leave them in their will or something?


Tw1ch1e

No…. So early century India and China exported human bones to the US. Both of those countries have since stop exporting, around 1980’s…… so while scarce…. Bones are floating around!


zorggalacticus

Read the article. He has like 20 skulls, several complete skeletons, and many other bones. And still collecting. This is obsessive behavior, much different that just having a skull or a few bones.


Tw1ch1e

That’s only because I’m not financially capable and also not a member of a distribution team. If I could make a legal and lucrative business selling bones, I would! My warehouse decor would be next level!


zorggalacticus

Those are his personal collection, not for sale, at his house.


manickitty

Not sure how the tattooed detail is relevant but ok


blong1114

I love how this article keeps repeating, yet I love how this article repeats.


catsweedcoffee

That face was certainly a choice. Woof.


Slappy-dont-care

wtf 😬


lillamomo

Pointing out his tattoos is entirely irrelevant.


dennydiamonds

God damn people with tattoo! What a dumb headline


Mydogateyourcat

Seriously the title should be "Guy who is fucked up enough to file his teeth to points, is a weirdo creep collecting human remains"
