Kymberlee Schopper, 52, and Ashley Lelesi, co-owners of a curio shop in Florida named Wicked Wonderland, face charges related to the illegal sale of human organs and tissue, according to the Orange City Police Department.

Police launched an investigation in December 2023 following a tip that the store was offering human bones for sale. According to an affidavit, the store’s Facebook page featured images and prices for items like skull fragments, ribs, and vertebrae.

Among the listings were two skull fragments priced at $90, a clavicle and scapula set for $90, and a partial skull for $600. Lelesi reportedly told authorities the shop had been selling bones for years and was unaware of Florida’s restrictions.

She claimed the remains were purchased from private sellers and promised documentation. However, she couldn’t produce it during the investigation. Kymberlee Schopper later provided redacted PayPal records, insisting the bones were educational tools.

Police collected several bone fragments from the store, which the Volusia County Medical Examiner determined came from two individuals. Per ABC News, Kymberlee Schopper was arrested on Thursday and released on $7,500 bail the next day.

Lelesi faces the same charges, though her custody status remains unclear. Despite the charges, the shop’s Facebook page announced a temporary closure, citing a family emergency. Schopper’s arraignment is set for May 1.
