A Florida woman is facing charges after authorities discovered she was involved in the online sale of human remains.
Kymberlee Anne Schopper, 52, of Deltona, has been accused of trafficking in human tissue and was released from Volusia County Jail on a $7,500 bond.
The investigation began December 21, 2023, following a tip to the Orange City Police Department regarding a local business advertising what appeared to be human bones on Facebook Marketplace. Images shared with officers depicted unsettling merchandise listings.
The business, identified as Wicked Wonderland, was offering several items for sale, including:
- Two human skulls priced at $90 each
- A human clavicle and scapula for $90
- Individual human ribs for $35
- Human vertebrae also listed at $35
- A partial human skull offered for $600
Law enforcement seized the remains as evidence, sending them to a medical examiner for analysis. An initial interview with a shop owner revealed they claimed the business had been selling these items for years and was unaware of any legal prohibitions in Florida.
“She confirmed that the store had multiple human bone fragments, all purchased from private sellers,” stated an arrest affidavit. “She described the bones as genuine human remains and delicate in nature.”
However, Schopper, another owner of Wicked Wonderland, asserted that the items were actually “educational models,” which can be legally sold within Florida.
Experts examined the recovered remains and determined they likely originated from archaeological sites, with some estimated to be over 100 years old and others dating back more than 500 years.
