The FBI began investigating Nott after it was discovered he had chatted with Jeremy Pauley, a man from Pennsylvania who was also being investigated for his role in a nationwide scheme to purchase and sell stolen human remains.

Authorities said Pauley provided federal investigators with information on a network of individuals in the scheme, including Cedric Lodge, the morgue manager for the Harvard Medical School who was charged last month.

Police said a Harvard Medical bag was also found in Nott’s home.

Within the past year, authorities said, Pauley was communicating with someone named “William Burke” on Facebook about purchasing skulls and spines.

The two exchanged PayPal information and the information “Burke” had sent was linked back to a PayPal account registered to Nott.

Law enforcement officers viewed Nott’s public Facebook profile and saw him posting about human remains for sale on Facebook as recently as June 2023, according to the document.
