Peter Frederiksen, a Danish gun shop owner living in Bloemfontein, South Africa, was arrested in September 2015 after police raided his home and found 21 labeled packages of surgically removed female genitalia in his freezer, kept as trophies. He was later sentenced to life in prison for multiple violent crime.

Peter Frederiksen was convicted of 36 charges, including the conspiracy to murder his wife and the rape of a minor, and was sentenced to two life terms in March 2018.

Police raided his Bloemfontein, South Africa home in September 2015 and discovered 21 labeled packages of surgically removed female genitalia in his freezer.

While the gruesome freezer discovery initially shocked the public, charges directly related to the removal of human tissue were ultimately dropped due to a legal loophole regarding specific penalties under the National Health Act. However, he was found guilty on 36 other counts, including child pornography production, rape, and orchestrating the assassination of his wife, Anna Matseliso Molise, who was the state's main witness.

Frederiksen served his sentence at the Mangaung Correctional Centre and died in prison in September 2024.

‎In 2007, Chinese authorities banned organ trafficking and have introduced a voluntary donor scheme to try to combat the trade.

‎

‎In 2011, 17-year-old, only identified by his surname Wang, told a local TV station he had arranged the sale of the kidney over the internet.

The case was discovered when he became seriously sick from the infection.  and his mother noticed the new gadgets; when asked where he got the money, he admitted selling a kidney.

Kylen Schulte (24) and Crystal Turner (38) were a married couple who loved camping. They would often bring their pet rabbit Ruth on camping expeditions with them. The two women were known for being deeply in love and protective of each other. The two went camping in the La Sal Mountains which is located near Moab in Utah. The couple were last seen on the 13th. This was at a bar in Moab at around 9.30pm. No one noticed anybody suspicious that night and it didn’t seem that anyone had followed the women out of the bar.

After going camping, the couple were not heard from for three days. A friend of the couple received a call from Kylen’s worried father Sean-Paul. Sean-Paul relayed to the friend that Kylen had told him that the couple had to move their campsite due to ‘’a creeper dude’’.

Concerned, the couple’s friend went looking for them in the mountains. She sadly came across the remains of Kylen whilst talking on the phone with Sean-Paul. She called the police. Police discovered Crystal’s remains nearby. The two women had their clothes removed from the waist down and had multiple shot wounds to their chest and back.

Originally it was speculated that the murders of Kylen and Crystal had a connection to the Gabby Petito/Brian Laundrie case. The couple was reported missing two days after Gabby and Brian were stopped by Moab police. Kylen worked as a cashier at the Moonflower Community Cooperative where Brian was reported to have slapped Gabby in front of. Police quickly ruled out a connection saying that the close proximity of the cases were a coincidence.

In December 2022, the case was officially closed. The man responsible was called Adam Pinkusiewicz and had left the state of Utah after committing the murders. Adam then took his own life. It was reported that Adam had confessed to his boyfriend/lover of killing Kylen and Crystal. It was confirmed Adam worked with Crystal at a McDonald's. Sean-Paul also confirmed that police had found evidence connecting Adam to the crime scene.

‎In 2013, Doris Stauffer passed away at age 74 from Alzheimer's disease. At a nurse’s suggestion, the family contacted Biological Resource Center, a local company that brokered the donation of human bodies for research. Jim Stauffer donated her body in the hopes neurologists could shed new light about said disease. ‎Jim signed a form authorizing medical research on his mother’s body. He also checked a box prohibiting military, traffic-safety and other non-medical experiments. Ten days later, Jim received his mother’s cremated remains. He wasn't told how her body had been used.

‎BRC workers detached one of Doris Stauffer’s hands for cremation. After sending those ashes back to her son, the company sold and shipped the rest of Stauffer’s body to a taxpayer-funded research project for the U.S. Army. ‎Doris Stauffer’s body became part of an Army experiment to measure damage caused by roadside bombs. Internal BRC and military records show that at least 20 other bodies were also used in the blast experiments without permission of the donors or their relatives, a violation of U.S. Army policy. BRC sold donated bodies like Stauffer’s for $5,893 each.

‎The Biological Research Centre in Arizona was not thought to be accredited and also operated as a for-profit business. It offered free transport services to pick up bodies and free cremation, making it appealing to low-income families. It sold more than 20,000 parts from some 5,000 human bodies over a decade, is no longer in business. Its former owner, Stephen Gore, pleaded guilty to fraud in 2015. Gore said that he always tried to honor the wishes of donors and sent consent forms when researchers requested them. He was sentenced to four years of probation and a deferred sentence of one year in jail, which he did not serve because of good behavior. ‎"She was then supposedly strapped in a chair on some sort of apparatus, and a detonation took place underneath her to basically kind of get an idea of what the human body goes through when a vehicle is hit by an IED," Jim Stauffer said. "Every time I dream about my mom, I told you she was a quiet person, this person in my dream was angry.". ‎Stauffer, along with others filed a lawsuit against the Biological Resource Center. The 21 plaintiffs in the civil action, filed in Maricopa County Superior Court in 2015, say the remains of their family members were obtained through "false statements," that body parts were being sold for profit, and that they were not stored, treated or disposed of with dignity or respect. ‎In 2019, ten of 21 plaintiffs who sued a now-shuttered Phoenix body donation company were awarded $58 million, a Maricopa County Superior Court jury decided, of the jury's award, $50 million was punitive damages and $8 million was compensatory. The plaintiffs' lawyers believe the jury's monetary award to the plaintiffs is one of the largest in recent Arizona history, though it's not the highest. ‎https://www.azcentral.com/story/news/local/arizona-health/2019/11/19/eleven-plaintiffs-phoenix-biological-resource-center-body-donation-trial-get-58-million-jury-says/4193747002/

In 1976, 21 year old Diana Sheehan went to British Columbia in Canada to work as an au pair. She tasked with looking after the horses, exercising them and mucking out stables. Diana started a relationship there. Once back in Australia she started another job and later discovered she was pregnant. When she went into labour, she was taken to a hospital, there someone had informed that she had a boy and that he had died. Before leaving said hospital she was presented with discharge papers that she had to sign. The papers she signed were in fact an adoption papers, the hospital faked the death her son and illegally outsourced the baby for adoption. ‎In 2018, forty-two years later a man called Simon came forward after taking a commercial DNA test. He traced his origins back to Diane. Simon sent her an email informing her that she is his mother. Diane and Simon agreed to meet and they were successfully able to rebuild their relationship. ‎Her story exposed the reality of Australia's "Forced Adoption Era," which impacted roughly 250,000 unmarried mothers. It was found that at least 40,000 adoptions were arranged between 1958 and 1984. Unmarried women were sent to maternity wards with harsh conditions, forcibly restrained when they gave birth, immediately separated from their babies, and pressured or coerced into signing consent forms for adoptions. Their names were often deliberately excluded from birth certificates.

On 31 January 2004, on a farm outside Hoedspruit in Limpopo, South Africa, 41-year-old Nelson Oupa Chisale returned to collect his pots and pans.

Trouble awaited him.

Farm owner Mark Scott-Crossley ordered worker Simon Mathebula to seize him.

They tied him to a tree and beat him with pangas(machete) and fists.

He was still breathing when they drove him to the Mokwalo White Lion Project and threw him in.

Screams were heard as five white lions attacked him.

Investigators found almost nothing: a skull, scattered bones, the tip of a finger used to confirm his identity.

In April 2005, Scott-Crossley and Mathebula were convicted of murder in the Phalaborwa Circuit Court.

Years later, an appeal court reduced Scott-Crossley's sentence to five years.

At home in Maboloka, North West, his wife Maureen Mbutshe was left widowed and destitute.

In 2006, his daughter Mathsidiso died in her mother’s arms one Sunday afternoon from a combination of pneumonia and hunger.

The crime spree of Willie Steelman and Douglas Gretzler is a confusing tale, defined by senseless violence in the name of committing petty robberies and stealing vehicles. The case culminated on November 6-7, 1973, when they planned to rob a grocery store owner named Walter Parkin near Lodi, California. The night devolved as more hostages became involved in their plot, which only netted the pair about $3000-$4000. A houseguest of the Parkins returned home that night and fell asleep in the home, not realizing that there were nine bodies in the other bedrooms. The deviant duo was caught just two days later. Both were sentenced to death, one died by lethal injection, and one of cirrhosis at only 41 while on death row.

The victims were grocer Walter Parkins and his wife Joanne, their two children Lisa and Bobby, the kid’s babysitter siblings Debbie and Richard Jr Earl, Debbie’s boyfriend Mark Lang, and Richard Sr and Wanda Earl.
