A 52-year-old woman in Florida has been taken into custody after authorities uncovered her involvement in the buying and selling of human bones at her curio store, known as “Wicked Wonderland.” Kymberlee Schopper faces serious legal repercussions related to trading in human tissue.

Details of the Arrest

The Orange City Police Department initiated an investigation following a report received on December 21, 2023, regarding the sale of human bones. This report included images from social media that showcased various human skeletal remains available for purchase.

Upon investigation, officers confirmed that Schopper had advertised an assortment of human bones online, with prices ranging from $35 to $600. Items listed for sale included:

• Two human skull fragments — $90
• A human clavicle and scapula — $90
• A human rib — $35
• A human vertebrae — $35
• A partial human skull — $600

The police collected these remains as evidence and submitted them to the Medical Examiner’s Office for further testing.

Claims of Ignorance

During the police inquiry, one of the store’s owners mentioned that they had been selling human bones for several years, expressing surprise at the legality of such actions in Florida. According to arrest documents, Schopper asserted that the bones were “educational models,” a claim meant to justify their sale under state law.

However, subsequent expert examinations revealed that some of the remains were likely historical finds, with one bone dating back over 500 years.

Legal Proceedings

Following her arrest, Schopper was released from the Volusia County Jail on a bond of $7,500. She currently faces charges for trading in human tissue, which may lead to severe legal consequences as the case unfolds.
