A federal grand jury has indicted a group of individuals on conspiracy charges and interstate transport of stolen goods. The accused were not transporting expensive electronics, valuable jewelry, or drugs. Instead, they were allegedly involved in the trade of human remains.
Harvard University addressed the horrific claims in a release Wednesday about an “abhorrent betrayal” by former employees. Cedric Lodge, 55, was employed as the morgue manager at Harvard Medical School until his termination on May 6.
He stands accused of transporting human remains from 2018 through August 2022. Lodge allegedly worked with a group of individuals committing heinous crimes with corpses. His wife, Denise Lodge, also has been indicted.
