A 52-year-old Florida woman, Kymberlee Schopper, is facing criminal charges for allegedly buying and selling human bones on Facebook. Authorities in Orange City say Schopper is involved with a business called “Wicked Wonderland,” which has been offering human remains online.
According to reports from Fox 35, police received a tip on December 21, 2023, regarding the sale of human bones on Facebook Marketplace. The listing detailed a range of items—including two segments of a human skull priced at £90, a human clavicle and scapula for £90, a rib for £35, vertebrae for £35, and a partial human skull for £600.
Schopper, who operates the business in Orange City, was charged with trading in human tissue. In an arrest affidavit, she reportedly confirmed that the store had multiple bone fragments that were purchased from private sellers and described them as genuine human remains, noting that they are “delicate in nature.” When questioned, one of the store’s owners stated that they believed these items were “educational models” and were unaware that the sale of human remains was illegal in Florida.
Police investigations revealed that some of the remains are likely of archaeological significance, with one piece estimated to be more than 100 years old and another over 500 years old. Schopper was arrested and released from jail on a $7,500 bond. Meanwhile, authorities have taken the remains as evidence and the investigation is ongoing.
