Just seeing this... Anyone know where the women got human remains to sell???

And had they sold any yet?

From the article in post #1:

Police spoke to Lelesi, the co-owner of Wicked Wonderland, who said the store had been selling human bones for "several years and was unaware that it was prohibited in the state of Florida," the affidavit said.

If it’s like the earlier case, by grave robbing.

Graverobbing seems like an even worse crime than selling human remains! In my mind. Unless, of course, the human remains being sold were procured by robbing graves. Then they're equally bad, I guess.

Depending on the age of the remains, it might not been 'modern' graves that were robbed, but 'native american' ones (isn't much of archaeology 'graverobbing' really?), or remains someone have found that belonged to a missing person, and chosen to sell instead of reporting to the police.
