The arrest last month of a 21-year-old suspect uncovered, police say, a macabre scheme to steal the brains of dead mental patients and sell them online. The suspect was peddling some 60 brains. And yes, amazingly there were customers.
Suspect David Charles is accused of breaking into the Indiana Medical History Museum and taking jars of brains and tissue from autopsies performed on patients in the 1890s.http://www.cnn.com/2014/01/03/us/ind...nn-disqus-area
Court documents said some jars were sold on the auction site eBay, despite a company policy against listing "humans, the human body, or any human body parts or products."
