    Wow, I’m pretty sure I wouldn’t accept money in exchange for human remains but, hypothetically, if I did you would have to pay me way more than $600 for 2 faces.

    The people involved in this are horrible people, regardless of the price.

      Hypothetically, what’s your price per face? (never thought I’d be asking that)

      That does seem like a pretty good deal per face

        I don’t like how I’m now thinking about the economics of black market faces. For me, assuming you removed all my moral objections, the low supply plus risk of getting caught would drive the price up higher than $300 a face. Low supply since there can’t be that many faces they can sell that wouldn’t be missed.

          I would just sell them at… face value

    “Another defendant runs a store called Kat’s Creepy Creations”

    Living up to the name there…

    As far as side hustles go… this one is pretty unethical. Reminds me of the first case shown in Better Call Saul: where the children break into a morgue and decapitate someone.

    In 2020, Maclean allegedly paid $600 for two desiccated faces she picked up at the school’s morgue from Cedric Lodge. Months later, Taylor, who is from West Lawn, Pennsylvania, sent Denise Lodge “$200 with a memo that read, ‘braiiiiiins,’” according to the complaint.
