After procuring the body parts, Hess and Koch would offer the limbs to third parties on the black market. Many of these third parties included medical research, surgical training and other educational outlets.
Good lord! This is the type of thing you expect to read about in a historical archive of Victorian era newspapers, not in 2022!
When the historians write about our century, it will likely be called the second dark age of humanity. The barbarism that has been hidden is truly abhorrent.
That is the democracy diatribe right there. People are taught that society has evolved and nowadays we just don’t do that medieval stuff. Bad news: nowadays things are worse.
Just read an article about this that said the woman was "a “body-broker service” operating out of the funeral home doing business that would sell body parts to third parties — mostly for surgical training and other educational purposes."
So mostly for surgical training and educational purposes, but not TOTALLY. What else were the body parts sold for?
Grave robbery has been, like, forever. Renaissance artists bought them, to study anatomy, the disrespect of the body is a sign of sin. Doctors also bought corpses, and I am sure, parts, for a long time, and then because of the disrespect it spirals downward, to necromancy, eventually. Sadly, so much of these "revealations" do not surprise me at all. History is a hard read, I can handle fiction about crime and murder and weirdness (to a point), but when learning of it, it can darken the mind. Spend some equal time looking for God's beautiful creations. for His Glory is everywhere. Always balance your taking in of darkness with the beauty that is in the world, now. God loves you. Remember that, sent his only living son to die for all of mankinds sin. Confess that He is God Almighty and that he will come to judge the living and the dead, and sin is forgiven.
Black Markets exist anywhere and everywhere. For damn near anything. If you want it and are willing to pay good money/crypto for it. There’s a guy somewhere who will hook you up and or know someone who can.
This makes me sick to my stomach. As a funeral director myself this taints my whole industry.
Fun fact: you don’t need to have a funeral director license in Colorado. It’s “self regulated”. I think this is a very good argument for the oversight needed.
Maybe not oversight that just widens the grift, but transparency. Like forced transparency. Sorry of like president Trump's attempt to force all medical care pricing to be transparent.

The Barbarism of mans past never went away. We just got better at hiding it or pretending it didn’t exist.
Precisely.

Fake news has entered the chat.
And zero mention of trafficking either. When that announcement was made the entire hall was devoid of repeaters except a handful. Shocking.
HERE HERE!
"Second dark age of humanity" - sad, but accurate.
Disgusting evil doesn't disappear. They just get better at hiding it.

There was a funeral home that was just busted a couple weeks ago near where I live. Found over 30 bodies. Many families were given ashes only to find out their loved ones were never cremated! Thus sounds a lot like the story you posted. https://www.wdrb.com/news/hearing-held-for-families-searching-for-closure-after-bodies-found-at-jeffersonville-funeral-home/article_c91ae7ba-02f6-11ed-ac2c-3706e29bfa6d.html
I heard about that a while back. When we cremated our dad, we stood around and made sure he was the one going in.
Never trust anybody.

Holy shit fren. That’s scary. Another reason to not to go a hospital!
That's some BIG teeth!...23 oz gold!!!

These fucking ghouls should never see the light of day ever again.
Notice the last name? Koch. Have we heard of that name somewhere before?
Hess is familiar too.
Don't know Hess that well but Koch is famous for bad.
Koch eh.
This is sick.

12-15 years is not long enough.
How much for a toe?
$250.
Why is this necessary? Most people sign their organ donor card. Last I checked no one at the dmv said only hospitals were allowed to procure ‘organs’.
