Show notes

On this episode of The Opportunist, Cedric Lodge spent nearly three decades as a trusted morgue manager at Harvard Medical School - until he was caught stealing body parts from donated cadavers and selling them online to collectors across the country. The episode traces how a man entrusted with the remains of people who gave their bodies to science turned that access into a black market, betraying hundreds of grieving families in the process.
