1010 WINS has learned that an investigation is underway into what may be the illegal harvesting of human bones from deceased victims whose families never gave consent for the bones to be removed.
There are at least 30 cases involved and that number could grow.
Sources say long bones from arms and legs were surreptitiously removed and replaced with pipes or broomsticks.
The matter came to light after the sale of the Daniel George & Sons Funeral Home in Brooklyn. New owners Deborah Johnson and Robert Nelms found financial fraud and believed bodies were tampered with.
"We're aware of the ongoing investigation and are confident that at the conclusion of the investigation, the Nelms will be cleared," said their attorney Eric Franz.
The records of the bone removal company have been subpoenaed.
Sources call this a billion dollar business. Bones are processed at medical technology companies to be used for reconstructive surgeries.

well, other people NEED them. you should give your body to others for transplants, etc... don't be greedy. you can save others...etc.etc.etc.
this is what happens when your body isn't really yours.
My drivers License (Florida) says that I am a voluntary organ donor. I don't have a need for them anymore if I die. Why anyone would want my old organs is another question..........
Man. People are hard up for bones these days.
or worse... a spitoon in Clinton's office!
IT'S PEOPLE!
If this pans out, people need to spend time in jail. A lot of time.
oh they won't. they use aborted fetuses for all sorts of research doncha know.
the democrats approve.
"illegal harvesting of human bones from deceased victims "
They tried it on live victims but it didn't quite work out.
I know a funeral director who received a phone call from New York, offering him a large amount of cash to open a gravesite a day early, 8 feet deep, no questions asked.
What does that mean?
One popular theory is that they bring dead bodies down, put them at the 8 foot level, then cover them to the 6 foot level. When the funeral burial occurs the next day, the extra body is buried undetected, below the casket.
I'm sorry. Maybe I need more coffee.
Are you saying graves are doubled up? and the plot sold twice?
Doubled up, yes. Sold twice, not officially. Let's just say Guido up in NYC found a clever way to dispose of collateral.
This sucks - I don't wanta be walking around heaven on one leg and swinging a golf club with one arm.
Interesting. Thanks.
Easy solution.
After your bones are stolen from your dead body, have them replaced with golf clubs. Than you won't have to worry about a caddy.
I don't give my boners up, except to pretty women.
