A Massachusetts woman has pleaded guilty in federal court to transporting human remains stolen from Harvard Medical School to Pennsylvania in a case that involved a Berks County man.

Katrina Maclean, 46, of Bradford pleaded guilty Monday before Chief U.S. District Judge Matthew W. Brann in Williamsport to interstate transport of stolen human remains.

Maclean admitted buying human remains she knew had been stolen from the medical school and transporting them to Pennsylvania from 2018 to 2022.

Maclean also sold stolen human remains to others, including Jeremy Pauley of Susquehanna County, who pleaded guilty in September 2023 to conspiracy and interstate transportation of stolen property, according to a release from Brian D. Miller, U.S. attorney for the Middle District of Pennsylvania.

According to the release:

From 2018 through 2022, Cedric Lodge, who managed the morgue for the Anatomical Gifts Program at Harvard Medical School in Boston, stole organs and other parts of cadavers donated for medical research and education before their scheduled cremations.

Lodge transported the stolen remains from Boston to his residence in Goffstown, N.H., where he and his wife, Denise, sold them to Maclean and others, making arrangements via cellphone and social media websites.

Maclean transported some of those stolen remains to Pennsylvania.

Cedric Lodge admitted selling remains to Joshua Taylor, 46, of Wernersville, Andrew Ensanian of Montgomery, Lycoming County, and others.

Taylor pleaded guilty May 15 to interstate transportation of stolen human remains.

Taylor admitted he bought remains he knew had been stolen from the morgue and transported them from New Hampshire to Pennsylvania from 2018 through 2022.

Others who have pleaded guilty are Denise Lodge, Matthew Lampi and Angelo Pereyra.

Lampi was sentenced to 15 months in prison, and Pereyra was sentenced to 18 months.

Cedric Lodge, Denise Lodge, Taylor and Ensanian are awaiting sentencing.

Authorities said Candace Chapman-Scott, who stole remains from an Arkansas crematorium where she was employed and sold them to Pauley in Pennsylvania, pleaded guilty in federal court in Arkansas and was sentenced to 15 years in prison.
