A Florida woman has been arrested after authorities say she illegally sold human bones on Facebook Marketplace, sparking a multi-agency investigation into the bizarre and disturbing case.
Kymberlee Schopper, 52, a co-owner of the macabre-themed shop Wicked Wonderland in Orange City, was taken into custody on April 10 and charged with purchasing or selling human organs or tissue — a second-degree felony under Florida law.
The investigation into Schopper began in December 2023, when the Orange City Police Department received an anonymous tip about suspicious online listings involving human remains. According to police, Schopper had advertised and offered for sale:
Two human skull fragments for $90
A human clavicle and scapula for $90
A human rib for $35
A human vertebra for $35
A partial human skull for $600
The listings appeared on Facebook Marketplace, where Schopper described the items as “educational models.”
When questioned, Schopper claimed she possessed documentation proving the remains were legally acquired, but was unable to produce those records. Authorities obtained a warrant to seize the bones, which were sent to the Volusia County Medical Examiner’s Office for further analysis.
Shockingly, forensic experts determined that some of the remains were potentially archaeological in origin, dating back up to 500 years.
Schopper was booked into the Volusia County Jail and later released on a $7,500 bond. Her arraignment is scheduled for May 1, 2025.
