"A Salem woman accused of peddling stolen human remains out of her "creepy creations" shop has agreed to plead guilty in connection with an alleged scheme to steal and sell body parts from cadavers in the Harvard Medical School morgue. Katrina Maclean is expected to plead guilty to a charge of interstate transport of stolen goods, according to a plea agreement filed Oct. 31 in a Pennsylvania federal court. Her trial was scheduled to begin this month."
"Prosecutors allege Maclean purchased pilfered human remains from former Harvard Medical School morgue manager Cedric Lodge, who sometimes allowed his buyers to enter the morgue and shop for body parts. Maclean, in turn, stored and sold stolen remains out of Kat's Creepy Creations in Peabody, according to the 2023 indictment. A now-private Instagram page for the shop boasted pictures of dolls with fangs and killer clown makeup, sometimes nestled with human bones."
