  • FBI Busted Kentucky Man For Trafficking Human Remains From Harvard Morgue, FBI Recovered ’40 Skulls, Spinal Cords, and Other Bones’ In His Home

    FBI Busted Kentucky Man For Trafficking Human Remains From Harvard Morgue, FBI Recovered ’40 Skulls, Spinal Cords, and Other Bones’ In His Home

    A Kentucky man has been placed behind bars for allegedly trafficking human remains, Insider reported. FBI agents discovered

    “approximately 40 human skulls, spinal cords, femurs, and hip bones,”

    in the suspect home, according to court documents.

    James Nott was apprehended at his home on July 11. FBI agents recovered human remains as well as firearms, inert grenades, and body armor, reports note. A criminal complaint obtained by Insider revealed that Nott was allegedly part of a larger network involved in

    “the sale and transportation of fraudulently obtained human remains.”

    Before searching the suspect’s home, FBI agents asked Nott if there were any other people in the home, to which he replied,

    “Only my dead friends,”

    according to the criminal complaints. Officials discovered several human skulls

    “decorated around the furniture,”

    including one placed on top of his mattress. They also retrieved a Harvard Medical School bag, the criminal complaint said.

    Cedric Lodge, the Harvard Medical School’s morgue manager, was also indicted last month for selling the remains of people who donated their bodies to Harvard’s anatomical gift program, to the black market. He along with several co-conspirators trafficked,

    “heads, brains, skin, bones, and other human remains,”

    according to an indictment filed against Harvard’s morgue manager, Cedric Lodge. Lodge reportedly sold

    “dissected faces and hired a man to tan human skin ‘to create leather,’”

    according to court documents.

    The FBI said Nott was also communicating with potential buyers on Facebook under the alias

    “William Burke.”

    He reportedly posted photos of the human body parts

    “for sale.”

    The FBI busted a possible customer who was in communication with Nott.

    “How much total for the couple and the last video you sent plus the spines,”

    the person wrote. The FBI was able to get a lead on a wider network of people involved in human remains trafficking, thanks to Nott’s customer. 

    Nott was charged with possession of a firearm by a prohibited person, as he is not permitted to own firearms after a 2011 case, according to court records. He remains in the custody of the United States Marshals Service pending additional charges.

  • Teacher Suspended After Allowing Student to Dress as KKK Grand Wizard for Extra Credit

    Teacher Suspended After Allowing Student to Dress as KKK Grand Wizard for Extra Credit

    A Kentucky middle school teacher has been suspended pending investigation after allowing a student to dress as the Ku Klux Klan’s first Grand Wizard for an extra credit assignment, reports the NY Post

    The teacher, who reportedly works at Southern Middle School in Kentucky, approved an eighth-graders request to portray Nathan Bedford Forrest, a Confederate soldier, and the KKK’s first Grand Wizard. The request included dressing up in a full Klansman hood and robe, according to LEX 18. 

    A video of the student wearing the disturbing gown, in a school bus, was posted online, and quickly made its rounds. Parents are now asking for the teacher to be fired.

    “That teacher should be ashamed of herself,”

    Jane Leclercq, a grandmother of one of the middle school students, told the local outlet.

    “Why would a teacher actually approve something like that? I don’t understand, I’m outraged, it’s ridiculous.”

    Pulaski County Superintendent Patrick Richardson confirmed that the district has suspended the teacher following several complaints.

    “I am extremely disappointed and embarrassed by this incident. I am deeply apologetic of this situation, and I am taking immediate steps to address this matter,”

    Richardson said in a statement. 

    However, one of the Southern Middle School students, who shared the TikTok video of the outfit on the bus, defended the teacher and student.

    “He came in on Friday morning trying to wear it in school, so she took it from him and told him he could wear it during the assignment and she would give it back to him at the end of the day,”

    the child explained.

    “There’s no reason to be offended by it,”

    the classmate said regarding the costume.

    “You can’t be mad over a school assignment that teaches history, you have to learn history to make sure you don’t redo it.”

  • Two Men Charged With Kidnapping 7-Year-Old Boy Because He Was “Cute”

    Two Men Charged With Kidnapping 7-Year-Old Boy Because He Was “Cute”

    Two Kentucky men are now in police custody after attempting to kidnap a child because one of them thought he was “cute,” Law And Crime reported.

    On Monday, just before 1 P.M., officers from the Winchester Police Department were sent to a playground after a witness reported that two men were trying to get children at the park to leave with them. Later identified as 21-year-old Rahul and 23-year-old Arvind, the duo waited at the top of a slide for children to come up. Arvind then allegedly grabbed a 7-year-old boy, forced the child to sit beside him, and then took his picture. When the boy’s mother realized what was happening, she called her son over, but the he was too frightened to move.

    “The kid stated that the male physically held his wrist down and forced him to take a picture with him,” the Winchester officers explained. “These pictures were found on the phone of the suspect. The kid was terrorized [by] the suspects. The mother of the child called for the child, and he was too scared to get up and go to her because the male was still sitting with him. The male had his arm around the child. The other male stated that this child was picked because he was ‘cute.’”

    Rahul has been charged with kidnapping a minor, while Arvind has been charged with kidnapping a minor and assault in the fourth degree with no visible injury. Both are currently being held at the Clark County Detention Center on $10,000 bonds. They are now scheduled to appear in court April 10th.

    It looks like a new principal from Kentucky was arrested on his very first day as principal, FOX reports. 44-year-old Leroy Littles Sr. began working as the new principal at Olmsted Academy North in Louisville; however, that was short lived after he was arrested in connection to a domestic violence encounter on Dec. 25, 2022. 

    At the school, he was served a warrant for his arrest for fourth-degree assault and third-degree terroristic threatening. 

    A police report attained by WDRB-TV said the 44-year-old went to his girlfriend’s home and witnessed her leaving with a former boyfriend. When he got into a verbal confrontation with her, he attacked her former beau, who sustained injuries to his head and face. The victim allegedly has footage of the attack, which was given to the Bullitt County Attorney’s Office. 

    A letter was released to parents by the Jefferson County Public Schools regarding his arrest, which said,

    The assistant principal was put in charge of the school. Reports added that Littles worked for the district for 16 years.
