Authorities in Kentucky say that they found human bones and several heads in a man’s house.
Documents show that last Tuesday, a Harvard Medical School bag and nearly 40 heads were found in the home of 39-year-old James Nott.
The heads were set up around pieces of furniture. One of them had a head scarf in it, and the other was in Nott’s bed.
A lot of weapons, like an AK-47 rifle, a.38 special Charter Arms, a revolver, ammo, grenades, and plates for body armor, were also found in the house.
Several law enforcement agencies first carried out the search order because of guns and human remains that were being sold.
When the police asked Nott who else was in his house, he said it was only his “dead friends.”
Nott was caught with guns in 2011 and was linked to a human trafficking ring that worked all over the country. Several people were said to have bought and sold human parts in this case. This was also connected to Harvard Medical School and an Arkansas funeral home. This led to Nott being found guilty of a crime.
Authorities started looking at Nott after he talked to Jeremy Pauley, who was being examined for his part in the trafficking ring.
Pauley told the police about some people who were involved in the case, like Cedric Lodge, who is in charge of the morgue at Harvard Medical School. In June, Lodge had been charged.
Nott bought and sold human bones on Facebook under the name “William Burke.” Nott sent Pauley photos and movies of the body parts while they were talking. In June 2023, Nott put the most recent remains up for sale on a Facebook page.
Nott has been charged with having a gun even though he has been guilty of a crime. If he is found guilty, he could go to jail for up to ten years.
